cheers john_o!! it worked,
i went to a car dealer local to me and showed the missus the Horrid interia of the ed30, same as i first thought before seeing it in the flesh.She changed her mind the minute she saw it, saying"oh its better like you say!".
Ive seen several close up pics, car seems to be in prestine condition. once i have conformation that my trade in price for the passat still stands, it will work out that i pay ZERO for the pleasure of the ed30.! i will pay a small deposit over phone which holds the car untill i view it monday, if i dont like it, car dealer has told me he will refund my deposit.The dealers that have are actually right next door to a vw main dealer ive been told.So any drama's i can always run nxt door!.
