Hi in Autotrader there is a ED30 3door 6 speed tornado red poverty spec , But so low miles I am tempted to have a look , I wanted CW or Grey .
Could i add MFSW also i think BT AND NAV would be easy , Xenons and washers proberbly could live with out washers or do i just wait for the Grey to appear thats my first choice , have a red one at home with 13k miles

Xenons are a PITA if you retrofit the whole thing (lights, autolevellers, washers).
MFSW is easier if it's a DSG car.
BT and Satnav are relatively easy.

It's a while since I've looked at ED30 prices, but late ones seemed to have dropped in price quite a bit. This seems quite cheap to me, so must be worth a look at that mileage. I've got a CW 08 with 5,000 miles, but I would want quite a bit more that that, so maybe I'll be keeping it!

I'm fairly sure from th photos that this car has xenon headlights already fitted, if it's the same car I'm thinking of that is:

It does seem a good deal, however it does not have an arm rest, mfsw or bluetooth/sat nav.

Hi you are right it has xenons and mfsw I think he said 6 cd as well
Just spoke to the man cant conform any service history ?? why are the badges all missing from the tailgate . mileage is wrong it has done 4300 and was told 31/7/08 but ran a check and its 10/6 /08
am i being weird ,
WHERE do you get a car checked out ie someone who can check the ecu etc accident damage would it be easy to doctor the mileage
-
I think i could add arm rest bt and sat nav for £1k
-
Look like xenons to me. Don't like the premium number to call and I'd be running the reg through every check I could at that price.
A car at that mileage would be snapped up by a VW dealer and sold at a higher price normally. It happened with an R32 I spotted once. A Ford dealer had a 58 reg with less than 9K miles on it up for 16 grand and it was gone within a few hours, only to reappear on a VW dealer website a couple of days later for £19K!

Simonp, the guy said they bought it from a VW dealer in Essex and was trying to validate with them if there was any service history on the car ,,I think it should have had a 12 month and a 24 month 2 yr service by now ,He said there are no receipts or stamps in the book. I think also where are the badges from the tail gate. Defo has xenons and mfsw
My reaction is to leave it well alone you know if it looks wrong it usuallly is .
-
Well, if a VW dealer was willing to let that low mileage car go for £13-14K to an independent, it's probably a wrong un!

DVLA website car first reg 05/06/2008 ?
-
Do you know if it is a uk dealer supplied car?
If it's one of the car supermarket imports they were up for £17995
There is a grey one in wimbledon audi with just over 10k miles, 5 door though and older I think
