Title: Buying Guide?? GTI and Edition 30
Post by: Stormin Steve on 02 April 2009, 22:36

Hi,

We are looking to buy a manual Edition 30, is there anything I should be looking out for?
Has anyone done a buying guide on the forum? have done a search without any joy.

Apart from the normal, I have been told to check for moisure in the lights, but that's about it.  Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

What's the fastest colour???

The thread is mainly about new cars, but there is plenty of useful info in there that is still valid. :cool:

Black is the fastest colour.

Thanks very much.  I see motorpoint have a load of new ones.  We may have a look on Sunday, and see if there is a deal to be had.
Has anyone dealt with them in the past?

Just in case you dont know, they are all imports with only 2 years warranty. Other than that its the same car as a UK dealer can supply.

Thanks for that.  I take it the third year is through VW UK then.
I don't think there is an issues with imports anymore, with regards servicing, warranty, arsey dealers etc. Unless anyone knows different?
