Whats it worth?

[Jay B]

As much as its a great all rounder, my ED30 just doesn't quiet hit the spot for me. Coming from a M3 I miss the rear wheel drive and power. I dont know what a realistic price is.

Just roughly price it against a similar spec Ed30 on Autotrader or Pistonheads. Prepare for a shock though...cant see it being easy to shift with christmas and the old credit crunch looming.

[Jay B]

yeah i've looked on both and there is a big spread in prices, some are too optimisic for sure lol. Im in no desparate hurry to sell up so looking to test the market at a realistic price.

16k approx trade in, or you could push £18500 private sale

That would be a nice credit crunching loss

I got 17k as a trade in on mine against a new R32 last week. My ED30 was also a March 08 (DSG, 9k miles) and only had armrest and highline MFD as options.

A bit of a credit crunch trade-in price but then the R32 had about 5.5k knocked off its list price so swings and roundabouts really.

That's a pretty well spec'd Ed30 Jay, and that'll be the source of your credit crunching loss......unfortunately when it comes to selling you simply don't get all your money back for all those extra's you spec'd when ordering.

Keep your chin up though; if you decide not to sell it you still have a real nice car there.

Can't help you with the rear wheel drive, but why don't you come to the next meet and take a ride in a remapped Ed30 - you can have a ride in mine if you want.  They are a COMPLETELY difference car/beast when remapped - at 320bhp and lighter than an M3, on the motorway or a dual carriageway you'd be pleasantly suprised - an M3 driver would be surprised too, though not pleasantly    Can't help you with the rear-wheel drive bit though.

Thanks for the offer 

A re-map was something i've been thinking about and some of the performance figs (standing 1/4, 0-100 times etc) that have been acheived eg Ben, Hurdy etc are very impressive for a reasonable cost 

I've been down the modding route in the past and as im sure a few will say once you start you always want more lol. The real biggy is the rear wheel drive, I really didn't think I would miss it soo much.
