That is a really nicely specced example in great condition kmpowell, I am sure that will sell very quickly. :)

Each to their own, but I am not about to sell my CS for a 7.5PP. I speak as an ex mk7 PP owner and have driven 7.5 GtiPP & R on a few occasions.

Maybe short term wallet comes into it, but In 2-5 years time which car will be worth more? :)

The good thing about a golf is if you want to see what way the prices will eventually go, look to it's predecessors.

Mk2 G60/Rallye, Mk4 R32, Mk5 Edition 30/R32 all highly praised cars at the time of release then dropped way down in price, (£1,600 in the case of the Mk2 Rallye now selling at £35K+). Although I wouldn't buy a mk7 as an investment unless you plan on keeping it 20+ years and not driving it  :grin:

If I could have found a Clubsport (that wasn't white...) I'd have got one over my 7.5PP but I'd have had to add 20/30k miles and £2-3k.

For a daily i suppose a 7.5PP, with all the modern toys, but the draw of a limited edition CS40, something a VW enthusiast in the know would doff his cap to is something which appeals.


If you want the VW enthusiast’s view, watch andrew chapple’s video comparing 7PP v CSS:

In answer to your original post, the 7.5PP is the better buy imho, and you should only buy the ed40 if you just want it!

I would take the time and search for an ED40, I am sure you will find one to your liking. Prices seemed to have fallen since the start of the year.

A nice man from Ireland saw my posts on here... and this morning, after a FaceTime walk around the car viewing, has agreed to buy it at the full asking price, so it didn't even hit Autotrader etc

Happy, but a bit sad at the same time. :smiley:

If you can find the right spec CS I’d go for that every time. Good luck.

Thats the way to do it, although I don't think I'm brave enough to buy a car just on watching a video viewing.

Nice work! :)

An easy sale and good on the buyer for taking the initiative to get in so quickly, it could have taken a while for another car of that spec & quality to come up for sale!

Tbh that's a cracking price for a well looked after fully loaded car.

I'm not surprised someone bit your arm off.
