My ed30 dilemma

[Colinv]

Evening all. Straight to the point here, I've been looking at ed30's now for some time and I've decided I'm trading in the type r for one. Problem is, I was after a candy White 3dr however I also spied a black one at £1000 cheaper. I phoned about both and the black one seems to be doing more to keep in contact with me over a trade in. Problem is, I've only just noticed it's a 5dr. I'm only 22 but have always thought of a 5dr as family car. There aren't many other ed30's around that I like and within price range, do I go for the 5dr as it's 1 lady owner, 25k miles, full history etc, or will I regret not holding off for a 3dr...........

Opinions on a postcard would be great

if you have your heart set on a 3 door i would wait. i love mine and would never need 5 doors but it can be handy i suppose. sounds like a nice car just take your time and stuff because us invisible internet gremlins cant really help you out with everything

thanks mate, something just keeps coming into my head imagining opening a back door to put a baby seat in, and more often than not, I never tend to have people in the back of my car much. Usually just me and the girlfriend

they are expensive mate and seem to be few and far between. I have spoken to a dealership and got a trade in value etc but he says he spoke to his finance department and I've been waiting on them phoning me since Monday. Isn't looking to likely.

My only other option is to just go for a gti but I know I would kick myself for not just putting in the extra few £ for an ed30

im 21 and have got a 5 door, i wanted a 3door but a 5 do0r came along at a good price, i hoped i wouldnt regrett it and i havent yet . i would hold out and get the colour you want rather than the door, as mine is white and i love it

I'm in an ed30 dilemma too...sell mine then find the right car or keep mine and get her the way I'd like her., I'd need to sell private and buy private I think....there are some good '30 bargains out there now, none in White though... They still fetch a premium, Audi Ayr have a nice one but it's £19k!  I think I'd actually want a 5 door now, living with 3 for 2.5 years there's been a few times where it's been annoying. (but not that many)....think I may actually prefer the look of the 5 to the 3 now too!

I have a 5 door ed 30. I wouldt say I "need" a 5 door either, I live with my girlfriend its just us, but we use them more than you would think.

Oh and you wont regret an ed30

the one at ayr Audi is really nice but can't justify spending all that money. 16k is my limit. I work just across the road from there in at ingrams vw.

There's a couple of nice White gti's cropping up but I dont think I'd be happy if I didn't get the ed30. Just phoned about a White leon cupra k1 but I've not been offered enough on the civic.

White is my 1st choice,
grey my second and black my third. I just don't know whether to see the black 5dr from a different point of view

Dam, there is too many of us after Edition 30's

Where is the one with 5 doors that your looking at?

thanks
