need info on a golf gti import???? asap any traders???

[danjen1]

right guys iam going to look at a golf gti 2.0t import on a 05 5 door in black with the 18" monza alloys...its done 25k and has sat nav but no leather... it says on the tech details that its a edition 30 and has 230bhp... but as far as iam aware the adition 30 only came out on a 2007?

now the main questions is it worth 11k?
is it worth less then a uk model?

i just cant put a price on it due to it being an import also its rhd.

Well FWIW, I VERY much doubt you'd get an ED30 for £11,000.

I would also question whether it's got 230bhp. Probably more like the standard etc
Money-wise I don't think it's that far off though - possibly a bit pricey but not by much. Bearing in mind that it's good mileage. Bit poor spec (also think that the ED30 has part-leather upholstery etc)

I personally don't think I'd have an issue with it being an import though.

Just my 2p.

Probably one of those dickhead sellers that is unable to correctly title a car. In his defence though, he has managed to match the advert price to the main price, unlike a lot of people on autotrader

Hmm, the ED30 didn't come out in MY05 guise...

Sold my 05 in Feb, Fully loaded except nav, 5dr DSG leather etc etc 28Kmiles UK car FSH and VAG extended warranty, IMHO better car than that one by some distance, for just over 11K, so looks high to me, especially being an import

[danjen1]

will offer him 10k see what he says... oh just 1 more question why on parkers it says the golf gti 2.0t is the same bhp and 0-60 as the golf gti none turbo?

I'm trying to find a nice gti for myself at the moment. From what I can tell the prices have gone up a bit over the last few months! Certainly no 'bargins' about at the moment.

All I would say is check your insurance before hand as they do ask if it is an import and may effect the premium?

Looks a nice motor though, fancy a 3 door myself this time which is proving to be a bit of a nightmare as a lot of the gti's with a nice spec ATM are all 5 doors!

Have you ever used Autotrader to sell a car? Their website setup absolutely sucks - its complete trial and error posting any of the details. Its a wonder I sold anything!

That will be the mk4, initially there was a 1.8 non turbo and a turbo version.  Then for some unknown reason vw dropped the 1.8 non turbo and replaced it with a 2.0 8v lump from the ark.
