Car is now sold. Many thanks to all who phoned.
I cannot believe how many people phoned! My phone went crazy from 5mins after the add was submitted to 12.45 at night! In the end I had to cap the price at £2000 and turn down better offers (which was hard) just to stop the phone ringing and to avoid 10 people turning up at the same time. Even then 2 chaps turned up which was akward!

Nice to hear it was sold Ben [
], shame about the price [&o]
To be honest I think someone got a bargain, it was not a minter but it was not a dirtbag either. It had several different shades or red paint but I think a damned good mopping and some selected re-spraying would have evened it up and the rust that I saw was indeed minor and could be remedied reasonably cheaply.
I presume this means you need the money to pay for an imminent re-arrival, in glossy black paintwork and with that infamous bonnet scoop [] C'mon spill the beans..........

Yes its a new experience to me actually 'selling' a car! [] I havn't really destroyed that many cars!
Ben
p.s. sorry Paul whilst Jon assures me that plans are in motion to get me car back in the very near future its a different black shiney thing on my driveway at the moment. I had to get a 5 seater for work so I'm now the proud owner of a black metalic R32 golf. It's sluggish and boring as hell but the sound!!! WOW! I will pop over and show you some time soon. Its a lovely feeling buying a brand new car though, no problems, 8miles old and at least 2-3weeks before it needs a new set of brakes and tires[][] I might have to bring it to a trackday with you guys... especially if it rains[]

Or perhaps not. [8|]
I've got to agree with you on the selling cars bit. I hate selling cars - I haven't sold many (because I keep them for years and years) but it is never something I have enjoyed. It is frustrating when you don't get any takers and people are often irritating when you do. It seems it doesn't matter how cheap the car is people still seem to want to nit pick.

Spooky; I was just looking at R32s this very morning as a sort of semi-serious daily drive consideration. It would be the original R32 for me though as I don't like the looks of the new one so much. I still love the hearse to bits, but I want to take something nice and German to NZ with me if we move and I think the hearse might be a bit to miley for the market when the time comes to sell it on. Also diesel isn't a big thing for saloons there.
a pal of mine took his Subaru Forrester over when he emigrated to Auckland a couple of years ago. If you want a contact over there who's already done it mail me and I can pass on his details, I'm sure he'd be happy to help.
Thanks Rob. Taking a Forester is a bit "coals to Newcastle", but I'm sure the process is the same so I might take you up on that nearer the time.
It's because I don't want to have to drive Japanese that I'm looking at exporting a daily driver. Interestingly the NZ Autotrader seems to suggest it may not be (financially) worth taking the 964, especially as it has no air-con. The 944 simply has to go.

i agree - was amazed when i visited him last January and recognised it. he was strangely attached to it having owned it from new. we had a Mazda 3 rental car which was yuck and can imagine that you'd have some fun with a 944 there. if i won the lottery i would buy the Russell ferry and spend my days chugging across the Bay of Islands to Paihia and back...

That would be me then [

Ross.
Now that you've got it....there is a prize for the first person to come up with a link where Ben describes how he was bouncing this car off the limiter in 4th. [
