Because the ed30 with the extra's that i wanted was just too excessive. All the ed 30's i could of got were either manual, 3 door, or were box standard which id prefer a high spec GTi, The Full leather to me looks nicer then the tartan. I prefer the look of the monza II's over the pescara's. slightly higher running and insurance costs.If i want the xtra bit of power then jkm portsmouth is where id head for it i want abit extra ommph. i did find some ed30 up north but as i found out it had some major hidden secrets, 4 owners, many warranty claims in one year!!, as i found out when i checked vw's database... heres the car...........

I could of bought from a private buyer but my dealer would not offer me £18500 trade in for my passat.He wouldnt give me same figure unless i bought a car via them and that all 5 door dsg ed30's with sat nav,and lots of extras were in the region of £24000 for a good one. most other car dealer would only give me 16k for my passat or so, so i would of had to fork out more to get a high spec car that i wanted.
I had to keep to a tight budget as have just spent 10-12 grand on new kitchen and bathroom at the same time so had to watch my spending
I couldnt be happier with what ive bought, absolutly made up and glad to be back in a Mk GTi.
You just get such almost a smug feeling driving it, as the ammount of on lookers is unbelievable!. Just cant beat the feeling
