Title: Whats my ED30 Worth?
Post by: waddler on 22 December 2008, 16:39
Chaps i've got a 57 plate ED30 5Door in Silver.  Its immaculate and done 9K miles.  No extras just standard spec and FVWSH.   Only other point is its a full UK spec import from Germany.

Any clue on value trade and private given these credit cruch times?

yep 12-13k is what you should expect, some private buyer may pay more though...good luck, but be warned, there are a lot of good cars, r32s in Motorpoint (08) for £17.5 and GTI's as new for just under £16k....

wish i waited a year to buy mine....grrrs...still had fun in the meantime.

this is why i dont see the point of having a car that cost over 20k new and then not driving it as it makes no sence as you might aswell enjoy it while it drops in price  :rolleyes:
