    I have a 2004 Turbo R32 which has easily $20k in modifications on it. It is easy to look up the book value on one of these, but when assessing the actual worth of the car after modifications it becomes challenging. There are a lot of add-ons that do not change an R32's value what-so-ever, yet others that change it drastically. I would really appreciate some input on what this car would actually go for in this market. Below are just the mods that I have receipts/records for, as I know I am missing a few things. THANKS!!

    **Less than 5,000 miles on all mods listed below

    Specs:
    - Reflex Silver
    - Full Leather Interior
    - All books, records, and keys
    - Original window sticker
    - Complete log books (receipts, warranties, etc.)
    - Up to date on any and all recalls
    - Approximately 52,000 miles
    - Clean title/No Accidents
    - Car was completely stock up until about 2 years ago

    Engine Mods:
    - Rotomaster T67GJ Turbo
    - TurboSmart 38mm Wastegate
    - C2 motorsports stage2 software
    - Kinetic motorsport manifold
    - Kinetic motorsport Intercooler
    - 550cc Bosch Injectors
    - TurboSmart reciprocating/blow off valve
    - TurboSmart boost controller
    - VF engineering engine and transmission mounts
    - HPA motorsports short shifter

    Wheels/Tires:
    - 19" Rotiform reverse cast 3 piece forged wheels w/2” step polished lip
    - BRAND NEW Falken FK452 tires
    - Cost slightly under $5,600 for the set

    Suspension Mods:
    - KW V3 full suspension (I believe it’s currently dropped about 1.5 inches, but they are adjustable so can be moved up/down accordingly)
    - H20 sport camber plates
    - DEFCON 2 bushings
    - Autotech 25mm rear sway bar
    - Gruvenparts control front and rear control arms
    - Gruvenparts adjustable sway bar end links

    Exterior Mods:
    - Euro shaved (corner reflector delete) front bumper w/FK 2 bar badgeless grill
    - SEAT Cupra R lip spoiler
    - Filled hood notch
    - Shaved rear hatch
    - Replaced plastic factory headlights with glass
    - Retrofit Source 6000K HID headlights w/35w Morimoto ballasts
    - Stubby antenna
    - Rear wiper delete
    - LED license plate lighting

    Exhaust:
    - 3" EIP exhaust
    - 3" intake with AFE filter
    - 3" downpipe
    - 3” USP Test pipe (Not installed due to passing emissions)

    Interior Mods:
    - UNIbrace XB series (Installed behind the rear seat)
    - New South performance steering wheel column
    - Dual indigo gauge pod (Boost and EGT)
    - Euro headlight switch
    - Full Interior LED lighting kit
    - Software update to close all windows, including moonroof upon engaging the alarm
    - OEM middle console armrest added
    - Monster rubber floormats w/.:R insignia

    A few blemishes to note;
    There is a small door ding under the driver door handle, as well as two dings above the rear window from unloading snowboards off the roof rack. The driver seat shows wear on the bolster (small 1" tear along seam), and there is the typical peeling on the center console.

    Otherwise the car is in excellent shape inside and out!!

    It's worth whatever someone will pay for it.

    I'd be all over this if it were built or had a headspacer.

    Beautiful and tastefully modded R!

    Well there's a TR R32 w/ ft400 he's asking 22k.. really depends on how badly you need the money and how fast you want it gone.

    Ok thanks for the input! I saw that one and thought mine is probably somewhere in that range, but wasn't sure how much more money the HPA setup pulls.

    Would've picked it up for 22k if he was closer.. but I got sick of looking for an R and settled for an 08 335i coupe instead
