I would, too. These rigs have quite high resale prices.
Locally, $25k for a low-mile 2008.
The 2008 R32s didn't interest me at all. They were only offered with paddle-shifters. My 2004 was only offered with a 6-speed manual.

The new Golf R - also only offered with a manual - is interesting, but it is about $37k. I paid less than $28k for mine, admittedly awhile ago. I just can't justify spending that much $ on a VW. Not wild about the limited color choices either - I would prefer one in silver.

In fact, I will likely replace my R32 this summer (currently has 129k miles on it), & the Golf R isn't on the short list. I am thinking certified pre-owned BMW, either 335i, 135i or maybe even X3 (I know, they aren't offered with manuals). I would love a Cayman S, but don't want to spend that much.
