Post by: Ollieb7 on 03 December 2007, 21:40

There about as exclusive as my mums astra!

The guy that owns the company opposite my work just bought 4 (git) as pool cars because he got a proper deal on them.

If they were really LTD editions surely VW wouldnt sell them heavily discounted from dealers?

......anyway, im off to get an application form!! :evil:

I dont think they are limiting it to 1500 units in UK, like you say its probably just a marketing ploy  :sad: I wish they did get numbered and stuck to their word like they did with the '25th anniversary'. If they aint you are just buying a mk5.1 GTI really.

True I aint got a problem with it, that's why I have ordered one, also where I live there are none about especially in white. However yet to judge how it drives, but from reading threads on the forum sounds good!  :smiley:

In the press releases and the VW memo (that I saw) the cars were "limited" to 1500 units. If there are more in the UK (UK supplied) than that VW have a law suite on their hands. :angry:

"If consumers discover that products do not meet these requirements they can reject them and ask for their money back. Alternatively, they can request a repair or replacement or claim compensation." Sale of goods act, I think thats covered under the description.

Other wise its a great car  :cool:

Well if everyone did actually take the time to register their ED30's then maybe we would find out if there are more than 1,500 :undecided:

it is a good idea in theory. In practice it is much harder to get everyone to register, or even to know about the register.
