The sad time has come for me to sell my 2008 Edition 30 DSG which has a Revo re-map to around 305 bhp / 315 torque. Would it be better to try and sell the car as a "specialist" re-map or a "standard" GTI (I have a switch)? Which would bring me a better price and / or quicker sale?
Advice welcome,
Litespeed.

Tough one mate. I'd be happy buying remapped (saves getting it done myself) but I can see why it would put people off
-
Quick sale = standard
Slow sale = remapped / modded
-
Sell standard advertise on auto trader
Sell modified " " Pistonheads!
People looking on the heads are car enthusiasts and would see the benefit of modded car, also the forums too. Just thought I'd put my 2 penny's worth! It wouldn't bother me! ( just sold modified Vrs octy priced it to sell, sold within 48 hrs!)

Looking at the rate of REVO'd vehicles we have to unlock these days just to give them a decent and proper tune up.. i wouldn't really want to advertise that its running of their products on it. Just my 2cents mate.
I would say make it stock and keep it original, besides its a rare vehicle and sought after. These cars are always best and most sought after when left original.

So Revo are crap and your maps are better and more reliable then?...........

Have a search, reviews for REVO are very mixed. Personally I've heard some horror stories about their maps/sales tactics. In comparison, try and find a negative review for any of the forum sponsors, you won't find one......I think that says it all really

I don't think they turn over the number of maps the major firms do. If Revo are that bad then why does one of main forums tuning firms sell Revo?
This isn't an argument about custom remaps v the big boys this is about someone posting a slating of one firms abilities to do what they are in the business of doing.....

I guess I'll just stay quiet next time someone is asking for an informed opinion :rolleyes:
I wasn't trying to slate them, just speaking from our own experience. We are unlocking their handywork because customers are otherwise forced to take their cars back to them and really don't want to deal with them.

It shows how little you know about this business, and that's fine mate, we don't publicisie in the way some others do - we just quietly get on with it. I can tell you that we are part of a 100+ network of global tuners under Elite Remaps and there are only a handful of mainstream tuning companies with a global footprint as large as Elite (in some of the most obscure places on Earth you can imagine in fact). The difference is Elite don't focus on growing their brand, simply perfecting their work and letting their agents grow the network.
But I can see where you are coming from about my original comment, and it wasn't intended in the way it came across. I personally have little respect for that particular companies work, and thats based on my own experience firsthand. But it's just my opinion, and of course they have many happy customers. Hopefully that clears it up.

Sad to hear your getting rid of the car, why is that? The ed30 is an awesome car, what you getting next?
