Selling Edition 30 - Unfortunatly

[HA54SYM`]

Thanks for all your comments guys! 

We did look at the Scirocco, its my wifes car so I thought it would be nice, but we have a 1 year old and the boot is quite small.

I also couldn't justify the extra 5k or so for the R in Golf or Roc format, so plumped for a mk6 GTI.

To be honest I'm hoping they make another anniversay model, Edition 35 anyone?

I'm also suprised how the value of the so called 'special edition' doesn't hold like I thought it would, but thats life I guess.

If anyones interested in her let me know.

As before don't think i would swap a edition 30 for a mk 6 ?.Hang on for a used Golf R ?.

Dave, get your ad up, although I'd love an ed30,...i would need to shift my hotpatootie on first. Keep having this internal debate with myself, sell, dont sell, mod, sell, buy a 911, buy something cheap to beat the petrol bandits, get something cheaper, get something dearer...give her a wash and I am in love all over again... :-)

Good job you didn't go for the Golf R as the boot is smaller than the Scirocco's!!

The 4WD transmission of the R reduces the boot load space down to 250 litres from the 350 litres that the ED30/GTI has. The Scirocco boot is 312 litres, but has a higher lip which makes it look smaller and the opening is smaller than a golf's which makes it less practical too.

Your selling your ED30 for an inferior car.

Keep the ED30 you nutcase.

Have to second that... I have an Ed30 and have had the Mk6 GTI for a day and wasn't too impressed with it tbh...

Well its all done and nearly dusted now.

Car is officially up for sale. I'd love someone on here to have it, and get some aftermarket tuning done to it, and take it to some trackdays. That way I could still see it, when out in my race car.

If anyone is interested please see here. http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=148179.0

Note I am 'very' flexible on the price.

At these prices (teens of thousands) mr secondhand buyer is put off by the boyracerish modded look of the ED30.
When the prices drop to around five thousand the enthusiasts that live in the other forum sections will want them.

I can see a time when ED30's sell for less than real GTI's (until they drop to 5K).

Just a quickie for those saying that the MKVI is inferior to the ED30, there have been a couple of MKVI's that have been clocking mid 220's stock on different RR's so it might be a closer fight than first thought? My was clocked at about 225 stock and over 275 revo'd but we all know figures can be inaccurate, that's why i mention different cars on different rr's.

My mate has a Revo'd MK5 and recently drove my car a couple of hundred miles and said he could definitely feel the difference but not enough to make him change currently.

They're all good though eh?

Egbert - speaking as someone who bought an Ed 30 this week (and so perhaps might be a little biased) can I please ask that you just get over your obvious (oh so OBVIOUS) chip on the shoulder, malevolent, spiteful, wishing to do down, pointless side swiping of a much respected and all round excellent car.
Mr secondhand buyer is not put off - far from it actually....from buying an edition 30.
You dont own one.
You dont drive one.
I have only been here five minutes and already I have seen through you....perhaps you should change tack???
