GTI Edition 50 order thread

[Exonian]

One of those driveway bollards to help prevent thefts

Placed my order last week: Grenadilla Black, Performance Pack with Warmenau Black, Vienna Leather, HUD, AV Steering Wheel

[Donster]

That's a lovely spec, I saw a black one in person the other day, really Nice unassuming.
Is it a Uk car, as I see the edition 50 has been removed from the Irish configurator.

I saw that too. And 3 months after I placed an order, I still have no news, no updates, no build week. Absolutely ridiculous, kinda losing interest in it now.

Did you collect yours yet Donster?

Yes it's a UK order.  Good to hear that about the black, I haven't seen one yet and there don't seem to be too many orders for black from what I've seen on here!

I'm surprised no updates surely Vw Ireland have some idea what's going on esp with build gone from
Site. Can't be very more to
Come into country if that's the case. That is frustrating for you. I see some non performance pack versions are floating in dealerships alright.
I'm collecting mine next week all going well heading for PPF this Thursday.

Anyone managed to get much discount on an ED50 yet?

I see that a few on autotrader are discounted now or are cars at dealer ready to go don't seem to be selling as fast as the dealers thought my local dealer said that he has had none ordered from his branch at all!

I’ve been toying with changing but bit worrying as take up doesn’t seem to be as VW expected in my opinion, few cars about now but no real deals as of yet phoned a few dealers to gauge market but offering ridiculously low ball p/x offers on my 8.5 clubby against edition 50s and mine is less than 10 months old with performance pack,  dcc and loads more . Spoke to friend in trade and he said values of used are low at moment but main stealers not reflecting it to do deals on new stuff which is because they are marked up to high , in his opinion, so said why change  as you have great spec car . Probably right but still fancy a 50 but not a these prices lol

My thoughts too, I would love a Tornado red 50 with some nice options but can see them becoming a bit cheaper soon as car market is extremely slow just now.

My local VW is absolutely stacked out with stock thats not moving and pre reg stuff.

I would keep the clubsport tbh.

I am look at 6k plus more for a 50 instead of a similar spec clubsportdue to available discounts i just don't think ithe 50 is 6k  plus more car tbh.

Also the current colour choices are pretty poor imo on clubsports why they stopped doing silver, red and blue is unbelievable the original gti colours should always be available on a GTI imo.

My sister actually picked up an Edition 50 last week which is Red loaded up with spec but 58k plus all the detailing costs on top drove it a few times since she’s had it as she’s been away and I’ve been sorting PPF etc out for her , drives great but in real world driving not any different to mine , which is probably where most will spend their time, but it’s still a 50 with 25 bhp more power , lol . Keeping mine is where I’m going to be for now I think and see if VW do any deals or they start appearing for sensible money , or my sister gets bored as she does and I help her out !!! But I prefer the green !!
