$85k VW Golf
 
My god VW owners are crazy.

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

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.

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 01-13-2010 02:59 PM

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.

sweetbmxrider 01-13-2010 03:15 PM

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.

NastyEllEssWon 01-13-2010 03:19 PM

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 01-13-2010 06:20 PM

some people dont care about $...

baddest434 01-13-2010 06:52 PM

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

Frosty 01-13-2010 07:02 PM

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

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.

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 01-13-2010 11:59 PM

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 01-14-2010 07:24 AM

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
