Title: how much is this overpriced?
Post by: no golf clubs at all on June 17, 2010, 10:49:08 am

What do we reckon chaps and chappettes...by how much is this car over priced? or...do you think it represents good value?

Snot even a VW dealer....  :stupid:

Sorry the link seems to not take you to the actual car...its the TR ED30 (obviously).

Very low mileage, but that to me isnt the be all and end all like it seems to be for some. Doesnt look like it has much of a spec either.
Certainly cheaper cars to be had with a few extra miles on

Given it isn't a VW dealer....what do you reckon....£1000-1500 overpriced?

As mentioned it is low mileage but the spec is somewhat sparse to demand a high price.

low mileage but 2 owners.. might be fine but worth asking why ...

And i guess low mileage is not always a good thing.  A car that has been run properly with an average to highish mileage may well be in better shape than one that has low mileage and has just sat about or done lots of short journeys.

I would be interested in why such an awesome motor has had 2 owners who have only covered that silly mileage! I think it is very overpriced considering there is a member on here with a ED30 who's spec blow's that out of the water and is highly modified to boot, he's after 15k........no brainer IMHO.  :happy2:

Absolutely! Guess thats why we call them stealers.... If I could sell mine and get a good price I could be interested in buying the said members ed30, I kind of "made my mind up" to keep my car a while yet, but really do want an Edition30.
