I'm flying up to Glasgow tomorrow to view it as been looking for a one owner low miler for an age.
Whilst i know these are appreciating in price 13.5k is a no no, but what you all think its worth?
It was bought at auction, and looking at the retail price on HPI its stating clean @ £9325 and retail @ £10,750
Cheers
Louie

I was also considering another black ED30 with 57k and 4 owners inc the present. That went for 10.1k
There is no way he will sell for 9k. I'm angling at starting the bidding at 10k with a ceiling of 11k max
As for the servicing - i have another 4dr ed30, and also a KO4 converted GTi (up for sale) hence i know all about the servicing traits etc :-)

Would be interested in the ko4 converted gti if you would like to get in touch. I have a mk6 ko3 im looking to get rid of.

Christ, my driver's side seat bolster is in better nick than that at 160K!!
I wouldn't pay £13.5k for that. £10K is nearer the mark.

To take new ones once it’s all prepped as giving a final detail to it. I did notice the bolster too. It’s well overpriced, but I’m viewing tomorrow so let’s see what plays out Kev

My advice:
Take VCDS or some kind of OBD scanner with you. If they won't let you scan it, walk away.
Also have a very careful gander underneath to make sure the pinch welds and other areas of the floor aren't buckled. Have a good sniff around the bumper and body panel shut lines, front chassis legs for straightness and the rear floor for ripples.
It's easy to get excited by a clean exterior and overlook signs of neglect/abuse :happy2:

Yeah he's adding an ED30 tax for sure.

I wonder what it's worth now at 130,000 miles!

I paid £9K for mine 7 years ago with 70K on it. It's a manual though, so probably would have been 10-11 if DSG.
Likewise, mine's on 160K now and probably not worth a lot :grin: It's worth more to me as a fun practical car than pennies in the bank though.
