Title: Does anyone know about this black Edition 30 for sale,
Post by: cameorole on 10 June 2010, 09:25
Hi

I am looking to buy an Edition 30 GTI and found this one for sale:

The advert looks good apart from not having any history, having 4 owners already and it needing a clean.

Does anyone know anything about this one?

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201020359345805/sort/priceasc/usedcars/maximum-age/up_to_5_years_old/model/golf/make/volkswagen/saved-search-id/2c92962e28f796040129129576ce006e/postcode/ng25hl/keywords/edition%2030%20dsg/page/1/radius/60?logcode=p

Thanks

Is the GTI badge on the tailgate in the wrong location (too high up) or am I imagining things  :rolleyes:

4 owners is not that unusual is it? particularly in these days of high petrol prices...people buy a GTI cos they've always wanted one then get the sh1ts when they see the real world economy perhaps...or just the way some cars go...

Does seem a little on low side of pricing mind you and .... it could do with a bleedin good clean!

Avoid, the GTI badge is indeed in the wrong place and it just seems very dodgy. If it's too good to be true, it usually is.

That garage is VERY dodgy - it's in my area and we all give it a wide bearth. They like to sell cars that have been accident damaged but not recorded - half the time the repair is rubbish.

Yeah, that would be why the badge is in the wrong place.
