Title: IS THIS ED30 UK OR EUROPEAN IMPORT CAR
Post by: seiko on January 24, 2011, 09:22:32 pm
this car is local to me and has been up for sale for some time, it was first listed on ebay october 2010 for over £20000, and has slowly come down to the more realistic price of £17394, my question is is this a uk car bought from a local dealer or a import car bought online through a import dealer for a discount price when new, thanks, here is the link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2008-VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-2-0T-GTI-Edition-30-DSG-Auto-/390278545444?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item5ade6a0024

Can't tell if it's an import from the ad.

Car is advertised for £16998 on their website though.

i agree, phoned them in october last year when i was looking for a gti and asked them what was special about the car as it was priced at over 20k, the answer i got was just a standard ed30, explained to the guy it was way over priced, and stil is  that is why it has not sold i expect, just thought it might be a import, shouldnt the wheels  be silver not black?

Just refurbed, Pesckies only came in one colour and VW dont even know what it is.  :laugh:  You could ask them if there is a spare wheel,  European models never came with this unless specced for the UK.  :happy2:

According to DVLA it was first registered on 01 - 03 - 08, it doesn't say that it's an import.

The 1st of march registration date would lean towards a UK spec registered car

According to DVLA it was first registered on 01 - 03 - 08, it doesn't say that it's an import.

Made him an offer of £16.5k at the start of the month when it was still advertised at £17998 and he just laughed and said no chance. He is dreaming if he thinks he will get any more to be honest.

I'm just waiting to pick mine up - less than 5k miles, 3 door, dsg etc :happy2: and it was a good bit less than he is asking. :stupid:

mine is an ED30 import so should have 18" Monza, should be black unless they have been powder coated silver like mine. also as someone said you wont get a spare wheel with import but cruise control should be fitted already as standard i think.

After a quick browse around pistonheads and autotrader I don't think that's as overpriced as some are saying.  There's 57 plate manuals on there for similar money.

That has been on sale for ages and ages. He should have taken your 16.5 offer.

Way over priced, there may be other ED30's the same or around that price advertised but they will be for sale for a while! realistically that is worth 16k tops as previously stated.
