Patience is the key me thinks in finding one exactly how you want, but worth it!

Welcome. I had my money saved for an ed30 but waited around 6 months for the right one to come along. Be patient and you will be rewarded with a great car.

Welcome.

If you get a low mileage one you'll have to pay the premium rate. I would look for one with about 35K on the clock, it will have taken the brunt of the depreciation.

thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

i have been looking into the pirelli golf too, is there must difference in the 2.

hopefully will find out if the ibiza will be gone this week, will be sad to miss it as ive put so much money into it but i really want something different now..

looking at a few on pistonheads and the average price is about 13k-15k is that the normal sort of price?

is the E30 16valve not 20valve?

what sort of thinks should i look out for when buying one?
