The bolsters on the drivers seat look well worn for 11k miles? or is leather really that bad? I think I'm glad I got cloth  :huh:

Looked at a couple of ED30's before picking up my GTI and would say have a good look about, for that price you would be wanting a much higher spec'd car... the cars I looked at ranged more in the region of 14-15K fully spec'd.

^^^^^thats why we call em Stealers. When I was looking Arnold Clark were chancing their arm with me for a gttdi demonstrator ... It had 8k on the clock and I offered £15.5k cash at the time...the twits wouldn't budge less than £16.3k....4-5 months on it was STILL on their forecourt but this time at £15.3k lol screwballs.

ps....this was 2.5 years ago...fwiw...

Hmm,

Mine is for sale :wink:

Depends on what equipment you want with it though :wink:

Mine is.....

Reflex Silver 5dr Edition 30 DSG
2007 (07)
28,500 miles

Extra equipment...

REVO remap - currently on stock setting
REVO DSG remap - makes the DSG what it always should have been.
Quaife limited slip diff - excellent mod and worth every penny of the £1.5k for the conversion. Also means that the 4yr DSG service has already been carried out less than a year ago.
Kenwood touchscreen SATNAV with hard drive, Bluetooth and IPOD video connection
Front and rear upgraded speakers (Hertz "Hi-energy" range)
Lightweight Team Dynamics Pro race 1.2 18" alloys with TOYO R1R semi slick tyres (better than ANY normal road tyre, and would cost £200 a corner to buy). Tyres are nearly new too.
Power folding wing mirrors
Cruise
Factory tinted glass from B pillar back
Silver Carbon Fibre rear spoiler
Silver Carbon Fibre bonnet

£16k. at that spec :cool:

Im driving an October 2008 Pirelli with DSG and well specced, spotless with 11200 miles on the clock. I was thinking of trading it in until my local dealer offered me only £14600. Another local VW dealer is selling a sept 2008 pirelli for £18000. Makes you sick . If you really want it ask for money off.
