ED 30
« on: 03 January 2010, 16:54 »
Chaps,

Got a 5dr Manual ED 30 in silver with 17K miles and immaculate.  It's Euro import and full UK spec.  Standard ED30 spec plus metalic.

It's a 57 plate Nov 07 registered and i'm 1st owner.

Any ideas what its worth?

I am no car trader, but I would say £16k trade in and £18k private.... Mk5 prices have started to drop slightly now the Mk6 is around.

Was it one of the motorpoint ones as they were all reflex silver?

I would say slightly less, maybe £17k private.

Depends on what you mean by what is it worth... to whom?

If it is full UK spec (mine was sourced from the Netherlands) then as a trade in £12-13K, possibly £13-14K in a private sale... if it isn't full UK spec then its much more difficult... £11-12K are the likely offers at trade (possibly less) you might see up to £13K in a private sale...

Sorry for the bad news but that's the downside of buying a grey import... I've been idly looking to see if a replacement is worthwhile... so I have up to date information...

To be honest, imports can be hard to shift.

It shouldn't make too much difference if it's full UK spec - the only downside is the 2 yr warranty - a UK car would still have 11 months of warranty left and that would be quite attractive to a potential buyer.

I've never understood this whole import thing. Apart from the 2 year warranty, what else is wrong with an import that makes them harder to shift?
