The Volkswagen Golf R often gets a lot of well-deserved love.

That applies to older generations, as well.

This 2004 Volkswagen Golf R32 is on offer for $25K, and the seller claims it has no rust or corrosion. The car has the Konig interior and while vague on the details, the seller says the restoration process was thorough and no expense was spared.

The car is currently located in Massachusetts but started out in California.

Give it a look here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Yet another attempt to cash-in on a nostalgia tide that's yet to come in (and may not for some time). Hope the owner budgeted keeping it in his collection for a while, because that's where it's likely to stay in the foreseeable future.

Most of the haters have never owned one of these carRs, let alone driven in one. Like one poster said, once you sit in it and drive it, if feels so right. When you own one, you put up with the little fiddly issues, just to retain the pure joy of driving it. The VR6 is VERY strong and if you take care of the caR it will last forever. I love the MKIV. I own a MKV R32 and love it too. As far as the price of this car, it depends on how he maintained it. Like I said, if properly done, the car will last a long time and $25k is cheap for a thrilling ride like an R32. And no other car sounds as glorious when you mash the right pedal. It sounds like an “Angry Wookie”! It’s not nostalgia when the guy in the Porsche takes your car for a ride and comes back 20 minutes later and says “That is the most thrilling car I’ve ever driven”. It happened to me, this year. Granted, mines turned up a notch or two. Still, 15 years old and a fun car to drive. My advice? Buy one, take good care of it and enjoy the permanent grin on your face when you drive it. When you do, don’t forget to come out and play! www.wookiesinthewoods.com #DRIVEMORE

UnoGeeks Great information. Unogeeks is the top SAP ABAP Training Institute, which provides the best SAP ABAP Training
ToolGuy This thing here is interesting.For example, I can select "Historical" and "EV stock" and "Cars" and "USA" and see how many BEVs and PHEVs were on U.S. roads from 2010 to 2023."EV stock share" is also interesting. Or perhaps you prefer "EV sales share".If you are in the U.S., whatever you do, do not select "World" in the 'Region' dropdown. It might blow your small insular mind. 😉
ToolGuy This podcast was pretty interesting. I listened to it this morning, and now I am commenting. Listened to the podcast, now commenting on the podcast. See how this works? LOL.
VoGhost If you want this to succeed, enlarge the battery and make the vehicle in Spartanburg so you buyers get the $7,500 discount.
Jeff Look at the the 65 and 66 Pontiacs some of the most beautiful and well made Pontiacs. 66 Olds Toronado and 67 Cadillac Eldorado were beautiful as well. Mercury had some really nice looking cars during the 60s as well. The 69 thru 72 Grand Prix were nice along with the first generation of Monte Carlo 70 thru 72. Midsize GM cars were nice as well.The 69s were still good but the cheapening started in 68. Even the 70s GMs were good but fit and finish took a dive especially the interiors with more plastics and more shared interiors.
