yea, my gut feeling is that candy white is still a bit overpriced, despite the spec.

love the ed30 ...if I could just fuse the ed30 and the candy white colour, i'd have my perfect car  :happy2:

Candy white GTI send tony danza a pm if you want a mint GTI, my mate bought his old anni and it was very well looked after. His has most of the options apart from leather, its DSG with full history.

I'd have thought that the ED30 was reasonably priced, seen plenty at the moment over that.

cheers for the reply. just don't want to get stung as i'm new to the GTI scene and still a bit green. the ed30 seems better value but it is pauper spec.

Mike, aka Tony Danza is a top guy and his car really is mint and well cared for, im sure he has a build thread on here, if not he does on the uk-mkivs.net forum (under the same username).
