Dilemma!!
« on: 04 April 2009, 18:11 »
I'm contemplating whether to chop in my 57Reg Gti for An Ed30 or R32.
Problem is I'm only one year into my 5year finance agreement!! :undecided:
Has anyone got any input into what options I have before I talk to the dealer???

all depends on your personal financial situation really mate but as already said you are going to get screwed by literaly a fair few thousand and in my oppinion its just not worth losing all that money only to make a slight upgrade to a ed30 etc, if you was going to trade in for a supercar or something then maybe it be a different story lol  :smiley:

Totally agree. A remap and maybe some cosmetic changes will be the most cost effective option. Chopping it in at this stage will lose you loads.

why? at the end of the day remap about 5 - 700 sheets, exhaust 1000 sheets, evoms intake - 300 sheets this will really improve throttle response and will be above a std ed 30 AND is alot lot lot lot cheaper than an ed30!!
how long you had yours?

NEO66, Is your car on Finance or is it a personal loan?

You do know that if anything happens to your car and the finance company find out - you could be up sh!t creek without a paddle..or indeed a car! :shocked:

A guy on Seat Cupra net got raped by the finance company when his car went wrong and they found out he'd modified it. They took the modifying as a breach of contract, took the car off him, made him pay for the repair and pay for the car being returned to stock.

PS.   Don't have nightmares :shocked:

^^^

I read about that and that's why I'm waiting until I hear about my new job and then will apply for a loan and pay off the finance co. After that, modding FTW! :cool: :cool: :cool: :grin: :grin: :grin:
