Hi everyone, I'm trying to figure out what my car is worth, roughly anyway from a basic description.
It's a 2008 pirelli edition, 77k miles, full service history, 2 owners before me. Stage 1 remap, miltek cat back, revo intake. Koni adjustable shocks with Eibach sportline springs, upgraded engine and gearbox mounts and mk7 golf r brakes.
It has the odd mark on it here and there, but a tidy car over all.
I just haven't a clue on the value of cars at the moment with the way the second hand car market is.
Thanks in advance.

between £6- 6.5k
this is what they are being sold for regardless of mods... sounds like a nice car
-
Really ? That sounds low to me after looking about, I was thinking more like 8.
We buy any car say 7500, auto trader 8200. Are they worth more or less than the edition 30 ?
-
I know from checking recently that a normal good condition, good spec standard gti with 100k and full service history is about 6k these days. Looking on autotrader you could possibly be looking at 9 in my opinion, could be more I'm not sure. There is a fair few going for over 10k but with a bit less miles.if in doubt though just price it high and see if you get any bites, if not then simply lower it a bit.
-
That's what I really wanted to hear, initially I was thinking 9/10, but then decided I was being a bit adventurous.

Yeah aim high I would, you can always lower the price if it won't sell but you can't ask for more money if you've already sold it too cheap.

edition 30s around £8k-£9k
pirelli editions around £6.5k i wasnt just guessing theres about 10 of them for sale being advertised at the moment at this price all great condition and full service history, some full r -tec stage 2 , some standard but all around the same £6.5k
-
Only ones I've seen for 6.5k have around or over 130k on the clock hence the price. Others seem to be about 8-11k depending on miles and condition. Never many for sale at the same time so they will typically be a little allover the place.

With the low mileage and owners there’s no way it’s £6.5k, I’d say more like £10k.
Advertise it on the right websites like Piston Heads, even get it on some classic websites.
-
I’m think 10k+ in this market. Definitely 10k+ retail.
-
Sold my Edition 30 last Sept, I thought it was worth £8k (90k miles few mods tidy car) WBAC said 7300 until I got there...they offered 5k something lol!!) Ended up selling it to a local lad for £6500.
-
didnt take the mileage into account my mistake, but even so i think you will be very lucky to get over £7k, when theres edition 30s for not much more,
advertising for a price is one thing what people are willing to pay is another.
but i hope you get a good deal if you decide to sell
-
So the edition 30 is worth more ? That baffles me a little. I'm not sure if I'm going to sell it or not, I was just starting to think I'd like an 8p rs3, so wondering how much money I'd have to borrow.
Been interesting to read all the different opinions though and I appreciate the input.

There's only 3 on Autotrader.
5 door silver, manual, 132k miles - £6,500
5 door Yellow, DSG, 80K miles - £11K
5 door black, DSG, 55K miles - £12K
If yours is a DSG, then clearly you wanting be aiming at around the £11K mark.
I wouldn't say the ED30 is worth more than a Pirelli, it's just that the ED30 is more well known, and the Pirelli's wheels and seats are a bit marmite to some people.
