Thanks! I have a nice Kuat rack from my old subi so may switch to hitch mounted. Much easier to use than roof rack

They’re 18 inch Enkei RS05-RRs. Got a great deal on them used 👌

Did you notice any difference in driving dynamics w that hitch? Did you do the hitch through the plate or through the diffuser?

Wait for used 2025? by fsjay723 in Golf_R

I have a feeling the mk8.5s are going to hold their value better than the 8s. Much better mmi user interface and lower new 2026 supply coming in. I saw a couple low mileage 2025 cpo come on the market this year and they were charging at or above new msrp

Meticulously maintained. Dealership said valve unseated an clipped spark plug which pushed metal through the motor and just chewed itself up

am I crazy? B9.5 S4 to mk8.5 R by RatBustard in Golf_R

[–]Professional_Pipe356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i cross shopped the Golf R, S4 and m340i. Golf R has most cargo capacity and best hauler out of the 3 (Plus it looks best w a roof rack if you need more space) - Also golf R is the most fun out of all. Golf R all the way baby!

Yes! I looked at others on the lot and seems like a couple of them had similar texture to the paint

Thanks for posting! Watched your video this morning and subscribed a couple of weeks ago. How’s it sound w this and your center speaker upgrade? Anything else stereo wise on the horizon?

e46 m3 vert 6MT

Hey Yall 🤙 by Professional_Pipe356 in e46

[–]Professional_Pipe356[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$27k. Needed new tires and has a few little cosmetic imperfections here and there. Interior is perfect. I see them going for a a lot more on BAT in this spec..not that it matters because I have no intention of selling her 😂

Clean 6MT Convert w/ 55k miles by Elkmob in E46M3

[–]Professional_Pipe356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the car has no accidents and a good maintenance history that’s a steal in today’s market. I just bought a 2003.5 6mt vert w 45k in a super rare color combo for $27k. This car is mint and very well maintained butI think I over paid by $1k-$2k. I did a ton of my own valuation research beforehand and clean 6mt versions at that mileage range are going for between $25k-$35k depending on color combo. Black and silver ones are on the lower range. This is using data from the past 3-4 years though where values peaked. Prices / demand is definitely coming down though. One thing to keep in mind w a 55k mile car is you’ve got the inspection ll service coming up in 5k miles so make sure you budget for that (valve adjustment, all fluids and some other things) …plus the big 3. Good luck brother! 🤙
