Cant help you find one im afraid but regards money manuals tend to be cheaper than DSG (reflected in them being £1K cheaper from factory than DSG cars).

I would be looking for 08 plate as there are only half a dozen 58 plates that I know of as most were regged before september 2008 and from June/July I think Pirelli was available anyway, well my car was build number 2235 and reg'd in mid May 08 so only 65 after mine as there are only 2300 in the country.

Price wise, depends on seller, some ask fair money and some ask stupid money, I paid £12k for my own Candy White Edition 30 08 plate 5dr DSG 39k FVWSH and it had every option on it except folding mirrors, bluetooth and cruise control (cruise was retro-fitted for me by fellow member eddie_nl for under £100), I dont want/need BT or folding mirrors, I bought it in late october / early November (2011) and seller needed to sell and I drove a hard bargain, do your homework and go armed with facts that was when sellers is sticking on price and says "Its worth every penny" you can say "Err no it aint here are 7 that sold in last 6 weeks for much less!!"

Average miles for 08 plates will be around 46-48K (Basing it on average 12k p/a)
I see lots of 07 platers asking 12.5 to 13K and they stay for sale a while  :wink:

I would aim to pay less than £13K (12K ideally)

Keep checking Ebay, Autotrader website, British Car Auctions website, Pistonheads, Gumtree etc and you will find your car eventually (it took me around 5 months fro start to finish).

Some really good info there thanks. These cars are like hens teeth to find. I've just missed out on 2 that where for sale in the past month. Also emailed a guy about one,but he didnt want to part with it. I was expecting to pay £14k-£15k. Will keep up my search. Thanks.

I think there are even less than that. Whilst lurking in another GTI forum I saw a post linking to the dvla website, i think, showing how many Edition 30's there are on the roads registered. Im sure it was less than 800 in the UK.  :confused:

VW confirmed that 2300 were built and registsred in UK, dozen written off and I have seen at least another couple of dozen on CAt C or Catd D (having been written off previosuly and repaired) so good ones are scarce!, but they could not telll me how many of each colour as their records dont have such info im afraid.

I searched for my ed30 for around 6 or 7 months. A few did show there faces in this time but were either a high milage or were highly modded.
Then after a long wait , I found the right one. It really pays off to be patient and wait, no matter how long it takes. Keep a cool head and the right one will come along  :happy2:
For me , the gti is a drivers car , so I opted for a manual box. I just love the feel of changing gear and being in control. But dont get me wrong the dsg is a great box too  :wink:

I am considering selling mine, but haven't made a decision yet, but it would be expensive.  08 reg, virtually no extras, 6,600 miles.  If you want full details email me - tg55@hotmail.co.uk  .   Trev.
