Just joined up as I'm on the lookout for an Edition 30 at the moment - feel it's time to move on to something a bit bigger and more comfy than the 182 Trophy but don't want to lose the performance and fun factor etc.
I've been keeping an eye on this one for sale at Leeds Volkswagen which is exactly what I'm after (Candy White 5dr); which has come down by £2000 in the last month:
http://www.sytner.co.uk/volkswagen/leeds/used-cars/volkswagen-golf-hatchback-special-eds--76893.aspx?st=Vehicle&vhl=-76893
Any advice on things to look out for, running costs etc would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Rhodri

hey!!! :P not long joined myself here but u know how it is... The car looks great but at that price try and get something with a media package...(satnav) :driver: its a really nice one u have found though..! try looking at pistonhead's and the for sale section here ! u never know u might save and get gold... :signLOL: :party: :P :happy2:

Cheers all, looking at other ED30s on PH, Autotrader etc that seems a good price; there's a 3dr in the For Sale section here with almost double the mileage for £400 more....
I'll also be looking to p/x my Trophy as I can't be arsed with the hassle of a Private sale!

Hi and welcome, :driver:
That ED30 looks fine, MFSW to boot although not many other options fintted to it from what I can see on the picture. Best colour too :happy2:
Don't worry about the RNS510 (Sat Nav) you can always add this later (MORTYGTTDI is selling them....linky

Cruise control can also be retro fitted too.
Good luck.

I have, it's number 399/500 and I've also loved every second of ownership, the handling is unreal and it's capable of embarrassing significantly more expensive cars! Shame to get rid of it really but needs must!

Cheers for that, I noticed that one on Autotrader but for some reason I wasn't sure if it is an ED30 or a standard GTI with BBS alloys - something just doesn't look right with it in the pictures (or maybe it's just me).
-
^^^ thats a Standard GTi with BBs alloys :happy2:
-
Cheers Phil, you've confirmed my suspicions there!

The 182 trophy maybe just what my mate is looking for, if you want to pm me some details i can pass it on. Get posting to get your count past 10, then pm me quick!

just keep lookin till you find the right car with the right spec for the right price......welcome to the site

Welcome mate :happy2:
-
first mod has to be suspension mate, feel very soft after a trophy, to be honest anything does, the ed 30 is an awsome car though and this is a good forum for any help. :happy2:
-
Thanks for the welcome troops, keeping my eyes peeled on Autotrader and PH at the moment, hopefully something will come up!
I've no doubt the ED30 will feel a bit soft in the corners after the T :wink:
-
feel better anywhere else :signLOL: the trophy is not an easy everyday car, would love one as a second car

Hi mate, yes I noticed the difference in price between the dealer website and Autotrader - my comment was aimed at the link you put up to a standard Golf GTI with BBS alloys!
Its immaterial now anyway as the ED30 at Leeds VW has been sold...
Just a quick question I'd like to ask regarding the mileages of the cars and any expensive services that need to be done. There's a few kicking about on autotrader with approx 40-50k miles - is there anything that needs to be done?
