Had a brief look at a used ED35 yesterday at my local dealership.
Do you think this is a good price and what do you think I could beat them down to?

Also regarding my car, details as sig. below (with monza shadow alloys) what do you think the trade price would be? Done 40k now.
Just toying with the idea of changing the car at the moment :wink:
-
I'd take your £29k and spend it on a brand new M135i.....

Not that much, I'm paying less for mine new than that, see my sig for spec!
I wouldn't pay more than 27k for that car.

+1 I didnt pay that much for mine new either. 26-27k is about right for this one. Looks just like mine :cool:
Ref yours I wouldn't want to speculate on trade in all depends on dealer and if they know you etc. From memory I got £17.5k for my CW 59 plate Sept 09 5dr DSG with leather Sat Nav sunroof Monza shadows F&R parking sensors and bluetooth with 26k on the clock, was scratch and dent free. No doubt VW will insult you if you ask for a trade in value.
-
That's the trouble when you've got a px they might give you there's for 28k and not 2k off your trade in but ive only traded in once so not experenced. I'd just give it a try and see what happens and prepare for the worst and walk away if your not happy. Nice car tho.

why would you buy a used ED35 when you can have brand new one loads of spec candy white much better alloys than those things you see on that, got to say they look like Fisher Price to me awful. Brand spanking new at 30k :shocked:
8000 miles already on that car .
-
Cheers guys interesting to know what your thoughts are.
Going away this weekend so will have to arrange a test drive the following week. Then there is the whole already own a MK6 issue, do I wait for the Mk7 and M135?

I love those alloys on a carbon grey!
-
There's £50 differance at stake here lot of money, used car £29,950 8000 miles. I know which car I would go for brand new ED35 £30,000 with puka alloys.
-
I've got to agree with steve, those alloys are fugly! :sick:
-
I like those alloys on the grey. Saw a set on a white car the other day and they look good in the flesh.
Martin, it all depends on how much money they have in the car, see what they offer you in p/x as headline figures are one thing but the actual cost to change is what's important. You'd want to expect around four to five grand off the original retail price (including extras) on a demo.
-
I wouldn't be changing a Golf that's lost the bulk of its money for another new or nearly new Golf so close to the end of the model run.
-

Common sense would dictate yes. But who uses common sense when car shopping? :wink:
-
I paid less than 25k for mine, brand new so I'd say it was overpriced

There is no way on this planet that I'd buy a new MK6 knowing that the new GTI is just around the corner. Just look what happened to the MK5 when the MK6 came out.
Without a doubt if I were buying a new quick car now, I would be getting the M135i, other that I'd take out for a test drive the new VXR and ST.
Cheers,
Jim

You paid less than £25k for a five door, DSG, with factory sat nav.....
That car is very high spec but I agree that it's very expensive.

Firm believer of go for a run out edition if planning on owning it for 3 years
Mk7 GTI sound like it has a development of tsi with ihi which won't float my boat
M135 in two door coupe more interesting as prob will be more of a looker

...........same here,standard 18'' all the way. And it's over priced!!!!!!,how do they get the price for there mud flaps?. I think there around 35.00 from the parts department.

Glendale's are Marmite wheels, all I can say from experience is that I have never had so many positive comments from people on how good my car looks (weekly) and the wheels usually get a special mention. :cool:
-
the 19s look way better in the flesh, you just need a remap to offset the extra weight :)

Good point :laugh:

Its sometimes worth thinking about the medium term and your own approach to "value" how much you want pay right now and the medium term depreciation
Here is the car in a few years time;

That's top book if ever.
There's a white one on piston heads with only 10 miles for 26/27k

I happened to see a Tornado Red Edition 35 up in Fort William a few weeks ago. It had the Glendales. If I'm perfectly honest the wheels just looked too bling on a GTI.

Each to there own really Carbon is a lovely colour even better with Monza2's those Glendale's look cheap and tacky they spoil the 35 IMO :wink:

I have to agree with Steve. The first time I saw them in a showroom (on a black 35) I thought they looked like something from Ripspeed.
