$85k VW Golf

[cdacda13]

My god VW owners are crazy. (http://forums.vwvortex.com/zeropost?cmd=tshow&id=4686966)

Granted, its a great looking car. Tons of custom work and all, but 85k!?

[WildBillyT]

Sounds like he's overpricing the modifications he's made. As in - "I spent 20,000 on mods so I'll add 15,000 for them even though the street value is actually 7,500".

Yeah, a drivetrain loss of 33% torque is pretty rough.

your paying for the 4 rabbits under the hood

Not for a AWD car with a stout drivetrain. Those cars have seen low 13s with almost no mods. Those cars can command top dollar, but people would rather see a low mileage unmodified car. This guy obviously dumped a ton of money into a car with little knowledge and is expecting his "investment" back. I read part of the thread and felt bad for the guy

Not out of the question, but rough to accept. All that $ to make power and it's pulled away.

[mc73nova]

Lol, that is crazy. This guy is gonna learn that you never get back what you put in. Return to stock if he can can and sell the parts. Even if I liked VW's, I would have a hard time justifying that purchase.

i dono that thing runs a 10.9? thats pretty impressive no matter the cost. no, i wouldn't pay it but i'm not into vdubs really. he also stated its just a number to keep the dumb ****ers away.

Estimated 10.9.

[NastyEllEssWon]

he also said later ''i wont sell this car for the price of a sti or a low ball offer like 45k''




:rofl:




i lol'd at this

[GrandmasterCow]

Proof that money doesn't=smarts

Very believable. There was one around here until it got totalled a month or so ago. Light blue R32, turbo'd, ~500whp, ran 10.7 I think in full street trim. Nice car but way overpriced.

[procamaroz28]

some people dont care about $...

[baddest434]

i offered him 80k he would'nt take it :shrug:

[Frosty]

If he didn't take that offer he's just an attention whore and is stroking his ego by posting that thread.

6 wabbits in there

[KirkEvil]

I have a friend at school who is a huge VW fan and all he talks about is how the R32 is the ****. VW people drool over that car.

It looks like this guy opened the hood and garden hosed the engine of his $85k car.

Yea heres the qoute from the owner about why you dont need a built motor

The only time you need a built motor is when you're tuning it yourself.


Hes not the brightest crayon in the box.:)

Funny thing is he looks not a day over 21. I wonder where he pulled up that kind of scratch.

[Adam1978]

lol 85k for a VW? the only VW i would gladly pay 85k for would be the Veron =] lol i mean yeah its fast...but for that money you could buy a camaro, drop a supercharged 572 in it and then destroy that thing at the track lol

[BurninrubberGT]

reminds me of the guy that put 22k into his STI motor, only barely pushing 400whp, and was looking to trade with someone for a newer viper lol

[Knipps]

daddy

reading the thread FTW

[sweetbmxrider]

wait thats him in the sand? ahahahahhah ok nevermind **** this kid baahahahaa

[mtnhopper1]

He probably saves receipts. You can always tell when they save receipts. He probably added them up; came up with like $60,000; figured about $100/hr for labor, and set his price.

I love when they say "if I can't get X then I'm keeping it." Like that hurts us.

If I can't get $100,000 for my 2002 s-10, then I'm keeping it! Any offers?

they are actually spectacular cars. I would love to own one. Just not for $85k.

[HW72]

obviously this VW owner is a Class A Tool.

[madness410]
