I checked another random plate of a ed30 and that came up as a ed30, I do a reg check and it say's golf gti but 230 bhp, something's surely wrong here? he says it has the genuine v5 with the edition 30 on it etc. But I don't wanna waste time/money going to view the thing if it isn't even legit. the reg is NK57 NJE.

No detail other than surface photos and same with a general copy and paste description it could be a edition 30 replica gti. I'd ask for the VIN and then contact vw customer service and ask for the build number of it, and then you'd be certain/

Up to date contact details are on here in the later pages of the Ed30 register section.
meanwhile get a photo of the VW build sticker, on the boot floor, and x-ref to the VIN too.

For a replica its bloody good.....interior is right, steering wheel, door sills are all correct although I'd avoid it as any doubt is still doubt. Plenty more Eddys about.
+1 on that - really good rep if it is one! - although the lack of armrest would put me off for starters! :P
contact VW and if still in doubt - move on.

link to the ad. sorry for the late reply, took a while for my post to go up and only just checked.

Was just going to post surely the BYD code (which I think is Ed30 only) will confirm for sure.
But the garage has given that info now. :happy2:
And centre armrest was an option on these in 2007..as I spec'd one.
About £115 if I recall it was. My cheapest of the 3x options I put on it.
Roof and Xenons weren't that cheap.
Good luck with the search anyhow.

So it's an import Eddy.....but the Dealer makes no comment in the add of such. Plus it's registered as a GTI not an Edition30 and God forbid you have an accident and the insurance company decide to argue that it's a normal GTI as that's what it says on the registration documents.
......and good luck selling it on......an Import that is wrongly registered?? IMO worth thousands less than he's asking as it stands.

Also to note why is this one with lower miles cheaper than others with 10k more miles, seems a bit suspicious

Its a pretty poor spec regardless of it being a genuine Ed30 or not - no steering wheel controls, no highline, no xenons, no parking sensors etc. etc. You can get a lot more car for that kind of money
Totally agree. As the others have said walk away and wait for the right one. Good luck with the search.

There weren't a lot of edition 30's that were high specced, a lot of the high spec parts like xenons were added by enthusiasts later on. It's the same as the GTI a lot of people left them quite basic and then enthusiasts got them. It's handier having the stuff on them granted but it wouldn't put me off especially since you could bring one up to full spec (minus sunroof) for about £1,000 (very roughly and excluding labour) so the price of a nice set of alloys.

Definitely avoid when you can make life easier and get another one with full peace of mind for similar cash and probably better spec :happy2:

It will cause you grief on resale and insurance as its an import. Generally folks want british and want the limited edition number.
Its also not well specc'd as others have pointed out. Move on... this is not the eddy you are looking for. :wink:
Rip.

The wheels do need a right good refurb like you said.
What number is it?
Il give it some thought for a day or 2 and get back to you if I'm interested! :smiley:

Too many miles and a bit of work needs doing for what I'm after though! :doh:
Post by: DanED30GTI on August 07, 2017, 04:31:51 pm
The hit and run is what it is, these things happen. The damage wasn't bad at all and was fixed within the day. I can't tell and I know it's there so I'm constantly looking for it.
If your interested drop me a message in the for sale thread it's in. Or even if you want more info or video walk around etc.
