Yah. I've got like three buddies here in AZ that run R32's with various degrees of mods from stock performance to SC kit. All crazy fast in a straight line and can hang through the lighter curvy stuff. But get them into the tight twisties and I can easily get away.

You know the new Mk5 .:R's are only months away right? I wouldn't jump on a Mk4 right now if you paid me.

Well I just got a call from my insurance... as of now... it looks like a total... he said the tranny was toast and possibly more... and that was just a quick glance... he needs to get it up on a lift to do his final evaluation...

since they're all used, (if he's talking about getting a MKIV), they're anywhere from $25,000-$30,000 depending on condition and mileage

Since they were limited production, the resell value of them has been pretty good.

Yeah, if you're gonna get an older Audi TT, you might as well just get another MINI. Faster, more roomy, and much nicer looking, in my opinion.
