Seen this ed30
What you all think? Is it worth it?
Post by: GTi-Andy on September 23, 2015, 03:41:09 pm
Low grade stereo and no MFSW
Other then that, looks a nice example

IMO they're asking too much
Edit: Or I just got a steal! :confused:

As a negotiating tool i would want the original wheels not those ones on it , takes something away from the ED30 imho . Also says cambelt changed at 40 odd thousand miles , but when was it ? They need changing every 4 years (the mot's show it would have been between Sept 2011 and Aug 2012 , i suggest its due now ) , it is a late 2007 model 57 reg and the RNS510 SatNav can be fitted for around £400 which is a great improvement on the stereo that is in that one . Also check the service history closely as it may have had missed a service or two (An educated guess) as only 8000 miles over 4 years 2011 - 2014 . Looks a nice car though , but i'd offer £9k
Arnt the wheels the original ones?
Well he accepted qn offer of 8.8 isnt that worth it

And5 doors are worth less thatn3dr
Post by: garrardrj on September 23, 2015, 05:43:01 pm
The initial drop of £700 would get me thinking why drop so much , mention the cambelt needs changing and the wheels you might get £3-400 more off. But have you actually seen it yet ?

No , are they replicas ?

I also think that BBS centre cap wouldn't fit a Pescara wheel .
OP - Perhaps ask the seller to a send some images of the embossed markings on the wheels ??

How can you tell they are genuine from looking at a photo ? Pescara and BBS CH wheels look the same , don't they and you can get replica CH'sBbs ch's have motorsport around the wheel nut holes and are more concave. And you can buy red bbs emblems to fit as I have done recently for my pescara's. Why would someone have replicas of the original wheel for the car?

What wheel is this then and real or fake ?

Just because it has red bbs centre caps it doesn't mean the pescara's are fake. Why would someone put fake pescara's on when they come with pescara's

That has bbs embossed on the wheel and other numbers so it's clearly not a edition 30 pescara but a bbs vz033Lol

Morgen do remeber yours is a 5door
And5 doors are worth less thatn3dr
This is very untrue, quite the opposite. Valuations of 5 door cars are typically £500 higher than 3 doors. They're also pricier to buy new. I work for a car dealership haha..
Post by: garrardrj on September 25, 2015, 09:31:17 am
Knocked it down till 8750 and he aint going no more
As i said before dropping the price £750 before the person they are dropping it to has seen it is very unusual . Driving 5 hours to see it is mad imho , find one nearer ?
