Title: Considering an Ed30
Post by: zabba on 06 March 2008, 15:55: I've been considering gettng a Ed30, had a couple of drives and really like it. Trouble is they just don't seem to do discounts. Ideally i'd have a year old one, but the VW dealers seem to price these close to new. How much should I be able to negociate off a new/used example? I don't really want to pay full whack and then take a hit on depreciation.

I would like an Ed30, but have recently been looking at Astra VXR's, available new for Ã‚£16k, they seem better value for money, as quick, great fun to drive and surprisingly well built. Now I know the Ed30 is a more rounded car, it certainly gets its power down more smoothly, but is it really Ã‚£6k better?

Post by: Ollieb7 on 07 March 2008, 11:53: I'm not using the car at the moment - just got to spend the weekend giving it one last polish (this will be the 4th!) / take photo's and it's ready.

Car is 3 door, manual, Sunroof, RCD500, xenons, boot guard. It's also had fender shield over the front so no stone chips, -10mm eibach springs and the Rockinghams i had fitted by VW dealer from new. First Service carried out by main dealer circa 9k where car was changed to longlife servicing - no dents or dings. Got to sell (Dont actually want to!) otherwise it would cost Ã‚£26k in tax to take to Norway!!!!!! Can't keep it either as i have 3 other cars not including the wifes TTQS - so a bit of a storage probelm!

One of the said!
