Title: Why are edition 30 so expensive
Post by: Timothy3049 on September 22, 2014, 09:35:10 pm: The book for less then 8k according to parkers guide

Yes there limited I know yes they are nice

But I don't get how a 2007 plate can be 11k for 7 year old car !

I mean when I get one I'll want top dollar but it's mad

If there's less of them and there nice to look at its always Guna hold its value.

Post by: MAT ED30 on September 22, 2014, 10:13:16 pm: Book means nothing it's just a guideline it's down to demand for the car people still want them and being honest after nearly 7 years of ownership they are worth the money

Post by: V2 FAN on September 23, 2014, 01:48:07 pm: I laughed at this as I posted the exact same topic on the R32 Forum when I was looking to buy one.

I guess VW just hold the value and hold it well they do.

You will see the value of an ED30 if and when you buy it :happy2:

Post by: rich83 on September 23, 2014, 07:29:19 pm: They are keeping there price because they are sort of limited numbers. Also they are a bloody amazing car for the money. Spend a few quid (ok... few thousand) on them and they are very very capable.

The GTI6 made the Eddy stay in grace for many (http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/266114-18tsi-and-20tsi-engine-failures/) reasons.

The 7 should've been the 6, a true generation leap.

The 8 will only be a tweaked 7. VW seem to only do significant changes every 2 generations now (bit like apple)

Post by: th3_f15t on September 23, 2014, 09:59:35 pm: The mk7 uses an all new chassis too I believe? Unlike the new Rocco R which is still a mk5 underneath which kind of shows you how much VW love the mk5 platform.

Post by: Mario88 on September 25, 2014, 10:08:17 pm: Agreed! They are lovely cars and really do hold their money.

Post by: stuart-88 on September 28, 2014, 03:46:41 pm: All VW's hold their money, so when it comes to a ltd edition version that's only going to be more exaggerated

Post by: Stevie Steve on September 29, 2014, 11:29:08 pm: Found a nice 08 plate for 9k. 70k on clock. Think I got a deal
Title: Re: Why are edition 30 so expensive
Post by: Morgen on October 08, 2014, 04:55:52 pm: That is a good deal! I just paid 10,000 on the button for my 2008 ed30 on 72k... But it's DSG and has quite a few optional extras so I don't feel too cheated haha! :)
