Title: When did the ED30 stop being manufactured??
Post by: ifti on 11 March 2009, 17:04
As the title states!

Ive seen an ED30 registered in August 2008 - I thought it was a limited run that ended way before that date??

Depends when they get sold to when they get registered. You in the market for one?

There are plenty out there with late 08 plates. I haven't seen any 58 plates though.

Yeh Im currently looking at a 08 plate. I dont mind an older one but it just seems that the ones Im looking at turn out to all be 08!
TBH I'd prefer a 57 or 07 just to get the cost down. The 08's are around £18-19k at the mo!

Yeah depends what spec your looking for, just thought I would throw it out there that mine is up for sale, still undecided if I do want to get rid of it or not.

Such a good car and everytime I have a little spirited drive I change my mind about selling it.

What car you looking to get if you do sell yours Phil??

Don't bother Phil.  Its not that quick for its engine size and it will depreciate in price rapidly... You can get a 2003 fully loaded, rare low mileage Passat W8 for around the £3-4k mark now  :shocked:  and they cost £30k when new...

I found out on the weekend that there is a ED30 in a dealership near me that has still not even be registered.

So that will be a 09 plate when they do (if they ever do).

Quite a few unregistered 5dr Ed 30s at motorpoint for £18,599 http://www.motorpoint.co.uk/(S(rqpbo255u1aytjy2suzmbd55))/Search/VehicleDetails.aspx?vehicle=184626

I called them to find out more - they are EU imports and therefore come with just a 2 year warranty which expires in Mar 2010 (I think this has been discussed elsewhere on this forum).

They did confirm that they would be registered on an 09 plate though.

The 3drs are £600 less.

Depends how long you keep it, when I traded in my 2000 X plate mk4 import they said because of its age it didn't affect the trade in value.  Not sure where the cut off point would be, certainly would impact the resale in the first 3 years I reckon.  After that ? - personally I don't think I would be too bothered as long as it had been registered for recalls and a fsh.
