Thats 4 months now and not a single one has been for sale in scotland, Infact the last one that i seen for sale was keiths (from here)
There seems to be a fair few down south, but im not willing to travel that far.
Im thinking of chucking the hunt now and buying a ford :sick: !

You will regret it! You will purchase a ford and then every day of your life you will park next to an ED30 and regret it :happy2:
Keep on the hunt the right one WILL turn up!

Hadrian's wall isn't that big is it? :stupid:
Head south and buy a bargain..
don't blow your money on a ford unless your going into mk2 RS.

There's a Pirelli 5 Door at GTI World/Western VW at Fort Kinnaird , Edinburgh , nearly £16K though and theres no pics on the ad yet. They have an Eddy as well but its 3 door.

i too wanted a manual 5 dr and had to wait for ages, in the end found a good one but an EU import - which was fine as cheaper than a UK model but no pescaras or an alarm even!

Its got to be an RS ! a green one to go with my green MK2 GTI

The serach is hard, but do persist the right car will appear when you least expec it, for some reason i really want DSG, so a decent spec is hard to find :happy2:
-
Might be possibly contemplating selling mine.....
-
I ended up travelling to Newcastle for mine but saved £1500 compared to Scottish prices. Well worth a journey!

I would recommend widening your area you are willing to travel, you save yourself a few pounds and that GTi world in Edinburgh is very expensive but they seen to be the only place in Scotland that has a decent collection of GTi's but they are just a small part of the main VW dealer there.
Its not really a big deal to buy a car down south and would possibly save you a few quid as well and the good thing is the further you travel to pick up your car the longer you have to enjoy it on the journey home.

I suppose youve probably looked everywhere but here is one near aberdeen

I would wait and get the car you want rather than one that isnt. I also wouldnt buy a Mk2 FRS as they arent all they are made up to be. Id rather buy a second hand evo 9 for a lot less and still be quicker and handle better than the FRS. Personally I would wait to get the ED30, as one will come along in the right spec etc. Just a case of keep looking and dont be put of by travelling.

Lol yeah...Steel Grey with some bad contrast pics!
In the old days I would have taken a wee drive down to Ayr to view it, but Petrol costs are ridiculous so...I wont bother.

Close, it's Graphite Blue Pearl! :wink:

Does look lovely....
If it were in Glasgow I would go and get mugged on a trade in for mine and see if I could afford it.
I hated pirelli seats when I first saw them,...they dont seem so bad now....

I do like that, a bit of negotiation, cracking car, Colour :drool: and more exclusive than an Ed30, with the important bits. It would be one I wouldn't mind travelling for I was looking for a Golf.....................

Sadly the only way to buy from Arnold shark without getting raped and the most basic aspects of the deal going wrong is to buy thro a mate who works there....then it works well....else they treat their customers as "the enemy".

Awright guys thanks for keeping an eye out i appreciate it :happy2:
Went to see the pirelli today and they are not for me the seats were better than i expected TBH but im not a fan of the yellow stiching so they are out !
Anyway the MRS should be driving soon so thats the baby taken care off as she will be driving the 5 door !, So my options now include 3 doors, although id probably still prefer a 5 door eddy for practicality.
The colours i want in order are Black, White, Red, Silver I dont want Grey though.
As for the seller it really must be a dealer as i need a PX cant be fooked with selling private anymore ever since a test driver pranged my porker :confused:, I basically just take the loss on the head so that im not selling and constantly cleaning my car for a couple of hours before someone that says they will turn up....doesnt, that well pi55es me off ! :mad:
As for not going down south ive done all that before and wasted days and days traveling looking at cars that were not as described !
If yous could still keep an eye out for me that would be great !! I really want one and modded ready for the ring in september
