I see a lot of ED30's advertised, but are they selling at the premium prices they should command?
Your thoughts please?
-
The really good ones will. Minters kind of command whatever price they want because there's a certain kind of buyer looking for them.
The more average spec, condition and mileage cars are probably 'worth' around 8k or so rather than the 10k+ you see most advertised for.
If you're thinking of selling, make it an option rather than a necessity. Then you can hold on for a buyer that'll meet your price instead of having to take whatever comes your way in a shorter timeframe.
It's a funny economy with ed30s. But as always, something is always 'worth what someone is prepared to pay for it'.
-
10-12k is easily achievable with a 40/50k dsg mint example but summer is when I reckon the best time to sell is.
-
I've been keeping an eye on prices as it looks liek I need to sell in the near future.
sub 50k bone stock cars seem to command £11K+, with anything less that £8K having lunar miles or on the V car.
Modified cars seem a mixed bag in the middle.
But who knows if they are selling.....
-
i keep toying with the idea of getting something different.
some of them are just silly prices £12k up over.
theirs a standard white 3dr with 52k on ebay for £10900.
mines done 56k but with a lot more extras but i wouldn't ask for more than £10k.

I'm glad I'm not the only person thinking this.
I'm in the market for one again after owner one 4 years ago. I can't get my head around around the fact I sold mine nearly 3 years ago (58 plate) for less than what people are asking now. No way am I paying more now than I sold for all that time ago. To make it worse mine was a very low mileage mint condition car.
Let's not forget it's a golf, not some super rare classic car. If I don't find something sensibly priced I'll buy something else.

That's a proper price and I'd have bought you're at that price should I have been looking at the time.
The ones being advertised at 11k now aren't going to be getting any calls. I just skip past the ads. They'll have to reduce to a sensible price if they want a sale.
