make sure if its 2nd hand, do run the cars regestration plate on VW's computer to ....
1.. make sure the cars regestured in the uk if it is a import car.
2..If its not regestured, it wont have any history on VW's data base ref to any service history.
3. Do bear in mind if you dont check the above before buying the car, you wont be able to make ANY claims under 2 years of warranty if its not been regestured. i nearly made the same mistake when buying an edition 30 like yourself.Dealers wont cover on warranty claims.
Then if you tryed to sell it , you will have one hell of a job shifting it.
If its a brand new import, there are some other things to look for, especially specification,What the car comes with on a europeon model,things like headlight settings, number of speakers it has as in some cases rear speakers arent fitted as standard.
Im sure there are loads of people who have bought new imports and are totally fine, but if its 2nd hand import, you really need to do some detective work before buying it.(i was looking at a 56 plate which had already 4 owners!!, and 6 rejected bodywork paint claims plus numerous leather trim claims too, up for what seemed a really cheap price,and looked fab in photos....(red 5 door dsg for 18995 near nottingham)
As they say if its too good to be true, then it proberly is.
