scooba0010 · 05-06-2010, 12:10 PM

Hi , found a lovely GTI edition 30 ,It is 23months old the dealer has implied the remainder is transferable 13 months .

Would anyone know if this is fact

I just called VAG customer service and they close at 6pm

TIA

Didn't think it needed to be transferred? i thought as long as its less than 3 yrs old its under warranty regardless who owns it.

It has a 3 year warranty. Unless it's an import. Go for it the Ed30 was my last car. With a map and exhaust is over 300 brake. Check out the YouTube videos, it can keep up with the best if them.

Its for my 22yr old he has 5 yrs no claims this month and drives sensible so why not ,I think we have agreed £17500

any comments ??

19k for a 2 yr old Golf!

scooba0010 · 05-06-2010, 02:12 PM

Any other suggestions ?? What would you guys buy with £17500 .

I thought a GTI edition 30 with DSG and only 9k miles was quite a good choice

What about my E92 for £17.5k?

No need to call up and transfer warranty, though doing it is good so VW know who the current owner is.

But yes the warranty stays with the car. Also you can call VW customer service to get an ED30 plaque e.g. 3 of xxxx.

I do think that car is a bit expensive, that said it is loaded and has low miles.

I sold my two year old ED30 for £19k, only two months ago!! Mine was 5 door in steel grey, with the touchscreen nav, and similar miles as this one. In fact, just noticed this one has xenons, which mine didnt. They really hold their money well. The red isnt quite so popular, but at £17500, thats a good buy, a very good buy.

I say go for it!

Yes so do I.But I have gone after 3 and all have sold before i even got to view ,much higher miles and less options sold at £15500 .

I have sort of agreed if it as mint as he said I will buy it for £17500.It has low miles and loads of spec ,full VAG history one owner

TBH id rather pay a bit more for one with low miles and on a 08 most are 56/07 /57 with 20 k plus miles

He wanted a Steel Grey but 3 doors ,I think its nice in red .Awaiting his call tomorrow after he speaks with the boss ??? .I explained £17500 is were i wanted to be ,He said £18250 but i am sticking to my guns as others have said its a expensive golf

What i do know is they are selling and for strong money ,I wish i had known OLI was selling as that ed30 would have done for me.

The GTI is for my boy ,I will tell him to take a look at gti forum

willhollin · 05-06-2010, 02:33 PM

A nice E92 would be a better bet for him I reckon.

ghosty · 05-06-2010, 02:35 PM

ive always had a soft spot for the ED30, love them bbs ch's, but have always been suspicious of the tartan though

they do keep their value and this one quite a low miler. if i was 22 i dont think id be disapointed with that!

Great choice if the price is right go for it.

Dannyrado · 05-07-2010, 02:00 AM

Go for it at anything around £17.5k, it's a good buy. VWs will always serve you well with depreciation (see my sig.) At only 9k miles it won't be run in yet, plenty of years good motoring there.

But beware, when "the boy" chips it, and puts an exhaust on, this thing is super fast, no really, SUPER fast!!!

Only prob is, it's red....

Dannyrado · 05-07-2010, 01:03 PM

Incidentally, you do know that the seat leon cupra is the same car, with a different body, and better brakes, for a whole lot less monies???

With a sh1te interior though, otherwise it would be a much better buy. I have seen some that have painted the dashboards and that makes them look a whole lot better
