Looks like Edition 45 might be on the way

[king monkey]

Its £540 for first year road tax, so you can go up to a total list price of 40540.... so whatever option you can find for 574.99 will go under the radar 

Assuming of course that their RRP price is including the tax to start with.

Otherwise, no you can't

Well that’s a pain. It’s literally £100 over that!

[fredgroves]

They say "cash price" is £35,898 "saving you £3,432" and that includes road tax.

So including road tax therefore, RRP is £39,330.... plus £540 tax.

So you have £669 to spend on options to keep it under.

That's enough for.... errrm a single colour other than KR or Oryx.

Or some other things like HUD or HK or rear camera+park assist

Not enough for 19's or DCC though.

19s are standard though aren’t they on the Ed45?

Just bear in mind that with lead times being as they are, list price now and list price when you receive the car may not be the same.

Good point. It’d be a crazy wait. Might even call it an ed46 by the time it comes. 

Just trying to weigh up whether it’s worth pushing for an Ed45 or wait and get a CS at a later point. I’m now really ready to change but I love an Edition gti.

Might not be anything to go by but German car sales sites are listing them being available at dealer (in Germany) in late July / August so in theory if they make them all at the same time as its a limited edition, then you may see one in UK September / October?

If I remember rightly, it’s limited only by time. All ed45s to be produced in 2021 only.

You might all get lucky and find VW send a car or two out to dealers that you can buy from stock like they did with the other performance models.
Thankfully the Clubbies all arrived in basic spec so maybe the Eddy will too. Unfortunately the R’s all seemed to arrive with the crap wheels but also a sunroof and DCC (and metallic in most cases) so they were well into the luxury tax.

Then again if you really love the car you might as well spec it how you want and swallow the extra £325 for the subsequent few years.
It’s an expensive old game these days.

Eddy

I'd like an Eddie:
