Fully specced Edition 30 '08' plate.

[noj66]

Having ordered a Scirocco which is due mid October,i've been trying to sell my current car,an Alpina D3(warmed over 320d).It looks like i've finally sold it so on Friday went to test drive the above mentioned Edition 30,a black 5 door with DSG,touch screen nav and xenons.
It's in a VW dealer in North Wales for £20,850,which i think is a good price(only covered 9000 miles).My thinking is buy the Golf,even though i'm only gonna have it a short while,for 20k if they will take it and i would think it would still be worth a good chunk of that come October,despite the current economic gloom.Any thoughts folks?

Have you rang the dealer you are getting the scirocco from to see how much they will give you trade in for the ED 30 

[noj66]

Yeah,to be honest they just tried to sell me something else!He actually said 'oh we have an R32 in the showroom that's just been reduced to 25k'.I  felt like saying are you havin' a fookin' laugh,but managed to be polite and decline his kind offer!

Only issue is the short period of time you'll have it - 6months or so might be worth it but knowing dealer if they know you need to get rid when you take delivery of the new car they will offer you silly money - try and speak to them to do a serious buy back offer on it when the new one arrives.

Price does sound ok though.

[Top Cat]

The problem will be moving it on when the scirocco arrive's under present condition's.
I live just down the road, i dont mind looking after either one for you while trying to find a buyer. 

[noj66]

I know,more sensible option is to buy a tidy old GTI or E30 BMW for about £1500 and use that.

For once I agree with TopCat about getting rid of the ED30

It depends what you are trying to achieve by buying another car for the time between now and when the rocco arrives.

I got rid of my previous car 2 months before my ED30 arrived, to fill the gap I just went through the selection of cars my local rental companies had, the highlight was a new TT with DSG gearbox  and low was a 1.6 Focus

I think if I were in the same position as you I would have a little fun with some older cars. Who knows you may even bag a bargain that you can sell for MORE than you bought it for. If you bought a MKII GTI, you may even consider keeping it
