Why didn't you rip their hands off?

[Phil mcavity]

because the only ed30 they had was a basic spec one for £22000, with absolutly no extra's except DSG  fitted. When im used to have all the toys and jump into same car with nowt, you'll know why i didnt snap his hand off.im waiting for a good spec to appear, ok, monthly im losing on mine, but i dont mind waiting.

Welcome back Ollieb7  

Thanks - never been away really - just had less to say since the Golf has become more every day - been mostly round the air cooled world these days as me and the wife have just purchased this Got the engine in since this pic - brand new 1600 with a warranty - not bad for a 51 year old car!

Wow that looks great Ollie.

What happened to the camper? Or the microvan you had? Still got it? Cos i think it had some major potential.

Wait.... It was you who had the van right?

i paid 16400 for mine from bradford JCT600 took it to my local stealer and offered me 16500 trade 4 months later!! haha

R32UK - not really...I got a better price out of them after their first offer partly because I do understand a little about their economics instead of spouting crap about 30% margins on t'internet - I couldn't care less about their breadline, as I know I got a fair deal for the trade

Enjoy your £1 - hope the effort was worth it  

1. I didnt get my car through the t`internet
2. You dont get a better deal by knowing "their economics"
3. Either way they will never give you what your car is really worth because they have to make a profit.

They just make the deal seem more attractive.. but if your happy loosing money, then your happy! you should try earning a £1 much more rewarding  thankyouthankyou

R32UK, nothing you say makes any sense, you're deluded.

phope, you got a very good deal on your ED 30 and you talk good sense too.

Dude if you have a comment to make atleast make a valid one with some kind of justification... I made three points above, and all are correct and can be justified. What phope paid for his ED30 has nothing to do with me and was never commented on in the first place.

Deluded?? I think you may well be!

Beetle is to keep the van company!

yes, im chuffed with mine, although if ed30 came out same time as standard,then i would of had a purchase dilema!. i'm now waiting for a year old ed30 to appear with good spec to appear, 1 year fast approaching, to then pick up a bargain high spec one at a bargain price.

but surely you have proven that a high spec one will be £4k more expensive. You are buying and selling on the same market, therfore what you gain on one you shell out on the other.
