Well, I'm like a kid at Christmas, as I've just placed my deposit on my new Edition 30! :cool:
I've looked at lots of options over the last few months - a few test drives and lots of research including the various posts on here, helped me make up my mind that the Edition 30 was the car to go for.
Once that was decided, this forum was also a big help in deciding on the colour and spec - although I didn't have a huge deal of choice in the matter because the Factory Order option is now gone (as you're no doubt aware!).
So, my Candy White 3Dr should be arriving in the dealers towards the end of next week - I absolutely can't wait!
Looking forward to boring you rigid with some excited banter over the next few weeks and months! :grin:
First on the list for the new arrival - fire up the G220 for a full Protection detail! :wink:
-
thought they had stopped making them now.. lol.. built to order or already built?
good choice tho :)
-
doh :p

What sort of spec did you get with it?

Welcome to the forum AC :cool:
It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling every time someone chooses an ED30 over othe hot hatches (and the R32) :rolleyes:
*jumps into R32 proof bunker* :laugh:

I thought they closed the order books on the ED30 last week??
Why not buy a 1 year old one? Save yourself £1000's.
-
congrats and enjoy!! :evil:

If it has been made it would still be available on the computer system .... apparently.
As to the price - I managed to get my 3dr DSG ordered for £22,800 which was £200 cheaper than I had seen one of the same spec secondhand - one year old with 12K on it.
I don't normally like buying new cars but it seemed there was no much to be had price wise for a secondhand one , or, in my case £200 the other way !

That bodes well for the ED30 residuals for a year or two then :smiley:

Spot on - the car was already built but unallocated, hence restricted choice of spec. The only Edition 30's which are left are those still in the system which are on their way to dealers as part of a pre-spec'd build, or unallocated cars. There's not too many left now according to my dealer.
Likewise for the price - got a good deal so not worthwhile for the small saving to be made for a 6/12 month old used car - and I've almost always bought used before. And once I decided it was White I wanted, that made it even less likely finding one used in the timescales I was working to.

Congrats and welcome dude..
I still aint seen an ED30 yet. :huh:
-
Thanks - I've only seen two so far. One black and one red so pleased it's going to be reasonably rare around my neck of the woods at the moment! :cool:
-
Congrats mate and welcome! The wait is a killer, but at least its built already, so your only looking at weeks rather than months... still be painful :wink: :smiley: What extra toys you getting on it out of interest? :smiley:
