Changing cars every 2-3 years seems an awfully expensive thing to do. Im not sure why you do it that often, but this is me speaking from no doubt a totally difference financial perspective.

Having said all that, your ED30 looks totally spot on, and i think your asking price is also fair. Before you mentioned the price i had a figure in mind which was actually above what you listed it at, so good luck with the sale.

I think the problem with the ED30 not holding it's resale value as highly as it should is because of the R32, (which arent holding their value that much either tbh), putting the ed30 in a difficult middle-ground territory.

Yes and No I guess, I own a few cars, and have kept some for several years. Problem is the jump to something newer againb after owning something for a number of years is very big, especially if your after something less run of the mill, like a Focus LX or something like that. But also I am fortunate I guess, but I do work 'HARD for the MONEY!'  :grin:

New reduced price, see here http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=148179.0

Another price drop again, before new car comes, due to time wasters!

This is a tough sale then Dave? It may be because people are reluctant to spend this much money on a private sale, as there is little to no "safety net"
Do you have to sell?
The day you see me in a diesel is the day there is no more petrol left :D

I have never known a car to take so long to sell to be honest, and I have no idea as to why?

I guess loans are little harder to get, well at a good rate anyway at the moment, and as you say a big private cash sale.

I'm still sure first 'serious' viewer will buy.

Its just getting that 'serious' viewer. A lot of them tend to be the young boyracer wannabe's that cannot afford the car to start with! Just there to waste your time!
Best of luck mate.

I had one guy come up to me in the street as we have a sticker in the window and ask how much it was. I said around 15, and he said oh right £1500, and I just looked at him and said WTF?  :grin:
