Thanks illyun, and everyone else.
Ive decided not to go for it.
I'll keep casually looking until the right spec comes along!
Much appreciated guys. ;)

Im gonna leave it a few weeks to see if anything else comes up - getting frustrated here!

Saw another Grey ED30 DSG, 14k miles, 07 plate, some extras like MFSW, Highline, Sat Nav, Ipod Prep, Rear Parking sensors, etc - was up for £16,500.

Was gonna go see it, but just phoned em and it has been sold :(

If anyone comes across a Grey or Silver ED30 DSG, please gimme a shout!!
Must have MFSW, Highline, Centre Arm Rest - and preferably Xenons!

Rather then open a new thread I thought I'd just post here.....

What are your thoughts on this......

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/770991.htm

Ive emailed the guy with an offer of £18k!
Nevertheless, he's dropped to £19k so far - that was a couple of weeks back though. Looks like he still hasnt sold it.
Worth another shot?

Oh and I did confirm with him that it also has Highline.

^^^^
Im going to see this one on the weekend, so any opinions welcome! ;)
Spoke to the guy who says its his sons car, and has hardly been used, hence the reason for sale. Just under 4k miles, with a few options etc on it. Full UK spec, so its under VW warrenty for another 2 years at least....
Is 19k a decent price for it??
Gotta ask him if he does finance as well (he has a car dealership as well)!

I'd still be looking to pull a little extra out of the price. :wink:

Another member on here managed to get a 5dr ED30 with DSG highline and Sat nav for under £19k :cool:

The VAT qualifying bit is if the car, may be an ex demo car, or it may be an ex PCP/contract hire.

If you are VAT reg. motor trader you can reclaim the VAT on the whole cost of the car.

Which would everyone say are the most popular formats?

For example I reckon most dsg's tend to be 5-doors? And the 3-doors tend to be manuals?

Or would someone beg to differ?

I think most ED30's tend to be manuals, whether 3 or 5 door TBH. Thats certainly what Ive found from looking around.
