Lads and Lasses
Just spoken to Lindvale VW, Essex, they advise that all GTI Edition 30s have now been built, the production run has come to an end. :shocked:
Essentially - get one while you can! :wink:

all dealers say different things and have different info. i went to backpool VW on sunday and was specking up an ed30 (had to seem interested for a testdrive in the demo :grin:) :smiley:
-
They may be starting the re-tooling for the Mk6.

There are hundreds of orders on the VW system and as of today 27 feb 2008 at 14.45 you can still order an Edition 30.

Hi vw_sales,
I'm assuming you work at VW then!
Any Idea how many have been sold in the UK and whether they are limited to 1500 or not?
-
How do u know i work for vw, :grin:
Basiclly each dealer has an allocation of Ed 30 they can order for customers depending on size of the dealership.
At the moment there are loads built about to be built and just ordered.
They are still accepting orders, ergo You can still order an edition 30.
As to numbers, its impossible to say.
-

Oh yeah, that old chessnut ;)
-
No seriously.
I dont have access to numbers ,VW Factory will know, as will individual dealers, but there are hundreds of dealers how would the info be collected, and by who.
it like asking River Island how many pairs of jeans they sold in the uk last year, Head office know cause they order and distribute, but you local shop wont know how many pairs Glasgow sold.
-
I was just being a little hearted with you is all :)
-
VW sales, what dealer in Glasgow do you work at,as the dealer im using is absolute crap. :sad:
-
dont work in glasgow, it was just an example.
-
so were there only meant to be 1500 built and now vw have gone over and are carrying on building them (not very fair to ed30 owners who were told it would be kept "exclusive")
-
easy there tiger,
Who said they have gone over, there is no way of knowing.
-

well it seems thay have gone over......there seems to be more ed30's flying about than normal GTi's!
-
also ed30's are not numbered like the 25th anni :smiley:
-
I think it would have been good to number them to give it that bit more of exclusivity...like the R's in america :smiley:

Thats only because your looking though... I always find when you get a car or looking to get a car you notice more about.
-
TO be honest even if they sell more than the 1500 its still going to be a sort after car.
Dealers can only sell limited numbers, so if you take in to account accidants thefts, then each year the numbers will decrease slightly.
Plus not everyone will sell theres at the same time.
If you think about the Mark 4 tdi 150, they are like rocking horse doo daa, and they sold alot more than 1500.

Hi VW_Sales,
Simple question... does the ED30 come with full-leather or 50/50.
I’m having a debate with VWUK at the mo, and everyone is giving different answers... any clues???
cheers... Hotrod
-
The Edition 30 only comes in 50/50 it is not available with Full Leather.
This is Gospel according to VW UK.
I can assure all that the Edition 30 as it stands now is not going to have full leather as an option.
-
VeeDub_sales - I'm not expecting you to know everything but if VW had done some professional market research I'm confident that they would have discovered that the Interlagos cloth option is very greatly valued by those customers who buy into the iconic status of the GTI.

I'll 2nd that

Ok take my vw hat off.
The Edition 30 is a limited edition car, not mass produced, it has individually styling, over and above the Gti.
If they change it, it no longer becomes Individual as so will be less sort after.
Vw dont want this, so thats why it wont change, personnally as has been discussed i think it will carry on for a bit or untill the supply out streches demand.
i.e Less people buy and the cars are built and "left on the shelf", they dont want this, at that point it will stop being produced, and then they will switch tooling to the Mark 6.
But dont expect it anytime soon.

Have a look at this thread

I understand that.
But i work in Vw sales, and this Production Year we as a dealer can order or supply to Customers, no matter how many want to buy them.
2 Cars, yes thats right 2, thats it.
So this is a descion that has been taken by much higher in the chain, believe me when i say there is no possible way to know the amount of cars that will be sold, but i dont think it will be much more than have been sold already.
We as a dealer just cant get them.
-
I think we should take note of the fact that the Ed30 is badged "EDITION 30" and NOT "LIMITED EDITION 30".

or you can wait for the new GTI, which, I've heard, will have 250hp. But then, there are the Fiat looks... :undecided:
For me, FOR ME, the MkV GTI E30 just hit the spot in terms of performance and looks. Once I've done with my E30, I'd be moving to something else, probably Audi TTS.
-
It is a bit disappointing that E30 is not THAT limited, but hey, I'd buy it anyway. Besides, I did not see many white E30s here so far, I've only seen 2 of them (on the streets, in the shops there are many more of them, waiting for somebody to buy them). Black GTIs (E30 or, not, I don't know, they all look the same), are quite abundant.
-
I'm the only ED30 in the village! :grin:

Could you perhaps advise as to why South Africa never got the Ed30? I am South African and can most certainly say that the market would be huge for them over here.
Is there any plans to send some to South Africa or do we have to import? :rolleyes:
If you can help please do. Cos the guys running the show here are complete tw@ts.

just found this vw press release and it says 1500 only :rolleyes:

I keep my eyes peeled for ED30's all the time but have only ever seen 1 in Leeds (excluding the dealers). And I seen one other on the M25 anti-clockwise (Red) yesterday. Thats it!!
So im sure they are still quite exclusive :wink:

You South African's cant have them as VW cant fit them flame thrower car jack devices yet. :grin:

Guys
As I stated in a previous topic, you only have to look at what BM did with the M3 CSL, to realise that once a model sells, they cannot resist building more and more.........it's a money thing, and like Premiership footballers there is no loyality anymore, the only loyal items, are the supporters, whether they be football or car buyers......and if you believe different, then you are deluding yourself, simple economics really :wink:
-
LMFAO!!!
South Africa is not that bad. Tints are legal and so is smash and grab :tongue:
So no worries with the flame thrower things ha ha

mine its the only ED30 in Malta :) till now
We have a few normal GTis , not much either
:)

Ive just returned from the dealers with my polo 1.2 courtesy car (until the ed30 arrives) and the salesman said that VW will only build 1500 ed30 cars for the UK. VW orginally wanted to build them all in 2007 (30 years) but has run over that time. He was saying that to sell 1500 cars in a year is 4 cars every day including xmas day :grin:.
cheers

one of the lads on another forum got the proper vw info on this and clearly states 1500 to be made
