Depends on the specs of your car and the ED30, and the ED30's history.

Remember a remapped GTI is faster than an ED30.

Who told you that Egbert? :embarassed:

Mapped ed30 against a mapped gti = ed30 fastest by far!!

Post by: AlanD on 17 March 2010, 19:09: Yeah, but he didnt say that. A remapped GTI is faster than a standard ED30.

I think what he was trying to say is that if you want a bit more power then just get it remapped rather than going through the hassle of swapping cars? ?
Title: Re: ed30
Post by: jeynesey on 17 March 2010, 19:10: Swap. You know its the right thing to do :wink:

Yes your right he didint , just a bit quick there to defend the Ed30, he says its a chav car! Never seen a chav driving an ed30 in my life and I have seen a lot of them TBH around london!! :cool:

Post by: AlanD on 17 March 2010, 20:05: Chavs cant afford MK5 GTIs let alone ED30.

Im not so sure mate, they are dropping below 8k now, not hard for a chav to finance.

Post by: stealthwolf on 18 March 2010, 10:10: Over the last 6 months, I've seen more GTIs and ED30s than I have in the preceeding three years. They've come down in price and people are trading them in for the MK6s.
Title: Re: ed30
Post by: Omega on 18 March 2010, 10:21: Yeah, there used to be maybe 1 or 2 ED30's on piston heads, now theres 2 pages!

It's only because they're now coming up three years old, VW warranty running out, and owners are upgrading to their next new car. Anyone that can afford a new GTI is bound to upgrade often. But there do seem to be an awful lot of these "exclusive, limited edition" cars!

I don't think you are allowed to spam each thread with an advert.

Post by: Saint Steve on 19 March 2010, 16:56: My steel grey Gti was with me only 3 weeks before i came accross an ed30 on private sale.

Sold my car back to Vw, took a 1000 hit, but best extra £1000 ive ever spent on a Vw.

Poor old Egbert wishes he bought an Ed30, but will never admit it. :evil:

Never mind ahe, keep toeing the caravan fella :laugh:

I might be able to make your decision easier! im after a good gti whats ur spec and hav u got any pictures? If you did sell then u could get a better deal on your new one with cash rather than a trade and not get ripped off!!! let me know!
