Car is 2007, manual and is truly mint!

COMES WITH FREE PRIVATE PLATE
Car also has:
LED side lights
LED number plate lights
Smoked hecko wind deflectors
I have for the car (not fitted):
Air tech intercooler kit
FK silver line coil-overs

Driver seat has minimal wear on bolster
I'm looking for around 11,450 Ono

Thanks for looking, Joe.

You might want to rewrite you sig info as it could confuse some people. :wink:

Cloth recaros ?
Where did the leather bolstered originals go ?
-
Cloth recaros ?

It's only an option to have the half leathers mate. Not standard spec
-
Thought the Leather was standard Didn't know that it was an option , thanks :happy2:
Thats another "Option" my advert can have when i sell mine :innocent:
-
I'm sure half leather is standard, how can a special edition be special if the interior is the same as a standard Gti
-
Only part leather heated seats were available for the Edition 30........... :confused:

Won't be an 'original' Ed30 matey....where's the Pescara alloys as well?
Why was the rear end re sprayed.
Price wide of the mark woth all these issues
-
Interesting ?
Do you know its build number ?
Doesn't appear on this list http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,31954.180.html
or is it there under the previous owner ?
-
Hi can you put up some interior pics please.
-
Hi can you put up some interior pics please.
I will do mate. Tomorrow now though mate.
Reason rear end was sprayed because the bumper had a slight parking mark.
And I wasn't happy with a smart repair so he agreed to respray it while he was doing the front end for stone chips.
Build number: 233949
It is an edition 30:

Joe,
-
still shouldn't have the cloth interior though, unless you have Cloth Bucket Recaros
what is the build number on the Edition 30 badge Plaque
-

Even the cloth Recaro's shouldn't be in an Edition 30 unless they have been retrofitted as there was no option to change the half leather seats...
Build number of '233949' given by the OP is also not a valid ed30 build number
Also having a 'GOLF' badge on the tailgate is not correct for any GTi model and the Monza's look like replicas judging by the centres/bolt hole area...? :confused:
-
Well I don't see how it cannot be an edition 30, has the engine, stickers, steering wheel, door sills.
Even full hpi check says it's an edition 30, so I have no idea how people can say it's not an edition 30?

It might well be an edition 30, but if the seats are cloth they are not the original seats.
No one would swop the half leathers for cloth seats unless they were the Recaro Buckets

Well they may have been switched with recaros as heated seats wasn't plugged in, but I guess you could be right.
Any hoo the car is completely mint!

Why would you change the original wheels for painted Monzas?

Some people, myself included, prefer the Monza design on a Golf. Steve has an Edition 30 with gloss black Monzas.

That exact point :)

And u said mine was priced high
-
Well it's open to offers so I know people will knock me down and I'm fine with that.
As I said open to all offers :)

Given the questions over the seats please either post some clear pics of the interior or the advert will be removed.

This thread is only going to get more interesting.
Just for clarification, are those the seats that you say are cloth Recaros. :smiley:
-
So the door cards, handbrake cover and gearknob are not from an Edition 30 either? :confused:
-
Does it even have a k04? :confused:
-
No EDITION 30 sticker on the glove box trim.
.... something not right here. askmid.com comes back as edition 30 though... :confused:
It looks as if its been stripped of all the good ed30 bits and filled with standard gti bits.
-
It looks like a lovely car, but the interior is certainly questionable, and I'm sure anyone looking for an Edition 30 will want all the things that differentiate it from a normal GTI. I take it you didn't realise the interior wasn't a usual Edition 30 interior when you bought it?

Minus the correct wheels and also the Golf badge on the back?
-
how about a pic of the engine bay
-
It definitely takes petrol doesn't it?
-
What is the VIN for the car?
I will check it at work against the reg, put peoples mind at rest, could be a cloned/stolen car...
PM me it if you dont want it put on a public forum :happy2:

Before everyone gets to excited, lets just keep posts that are relevant to finding out what is going on here. I think it is fair to say that SLO3 Joe appears to be ignorant of what an Edition 30 properly looks like or he has the largest brass neck in the world, me thinks the former is correct.
Joe needs to first find out if it is even an Edition 30 or a standard GTI. If it is an Edition 30 he either has to adjust his advert and state what bits are not correct or turn the car back to a proper edition 30. I am not saying anyone is, but i dont see any point at having a laugh at his expense or telling him his price is to much, he clearly doesn't realise it has issues.
TC. :happy2:

He paid £11,500 as it is. Someone got fleeced.
The only parts i can see that are genuinely from an Edition 30 are the steering wheel and the boot badge.
Id imagine that this car was stolen (stripped) recovered, but not recorded if it is indeed an Edition 30. (But thats speculation). An engine picture would put peoples mind at rest, however, its certainly worth no more than £8k as it is.
There are perfectly genuine Edition 30s around for £9k at the moment. So asking £11k+ for a car with all the defining features from an Edition 30 missing, is strange at best.

I have no idea how it cannot be an edition 30, as people have said people like the monzas more over the BBS alloys which is fair enough. It could even be the same with the seats, some people just don't like leather seats.
The fact it has a golf badge on back means nothing.. Anyone could stick a V8 badge on it, doesn't mean it's not an edition 30 because of it.
The front grill just has the edition part under the GTi missing, doesn't mean it's not an edition.
After all the trash talk on this thread I'm surprised I've even had any interest in it at all. But funny enough I have! Even the people interested have said they prefer the monzas to the BBS alloys.
If you dead certain it's not an edition, spend the money to hpi it. You'll soon see that your ignorance has cost you money, just because you think you know best..

I looked at 5 editions, all of the paint work was shiat, leather bolster all worn. Non had the cam belt, water pump done and 3 of the 5 had bold front tyres.
Ok so I could put the BBS alloys on that would cost me £600 to do so, but why when most people change the wheels on the MKV golfs

Whichever way you look at it Joe, its currently a GTI with an Edition 30 engine. The defining features that make a car an Edition 30 are missing. And they are the only difference apart from the log book and the engine.
-
I'm sure it is an edition 30 joe. But half the edition 30 spec is missing from it.
Would anyone buy a Pirelli edition with the wrong seats and trim in it?

Well it has the engine, door seals, steering wheel, rear badge.
So it doesn't have wheels or seats?
I think personally the quality of the paint work and car makes up for a little bit of leather on some seats and the BBS alloys which are very easy to get hold of and the new owner would change anyway..
-

Well I understand what your saying about the Pirelli edition as it's alot different. I know I get it hasn't got leather on the seats or the wheels but as I said I think it's other qualitys make up for it.
-
Fair point. Bit you cannot command 11.5k for it.... It's gonna cost £1000 for edition 30 seats, £250 for missing trim and gearstick and £600 for ed30 bbs wheels.
-
I thought you sold your 135i (the last car) because of a terrible arm/shoulder injury that meant you needed an auto?
Much like when you were trying to blag owners on the babyBMW forum that some dodgy wheels you had for sale would fit a 1 series.
Much like your 400hp R32 that'd do 42mpg.
Do we need to go through the rest of your ads?
I'll give you this crisp £9 note for it....

-
its a special edition car with half of the goodies missing...
no clean paintwork makes up for that imo...
wish you the very best with the sale joe.
ps..with other interior bits gone..that msfw would look better if i gave you a standard one and bought yours...

Its missing:

Edition 30 Leather Door Cards
Edition 30 Handbrake Trim
Edition 30 Gear Lever
Edition 30 Front Badge
Edition 30 Glovebox Trim
Edition 30 Mats (Red trim, edition 30 logo??)
Edition 30 BBS CH Wheels (only available on Edition 30, special finish)
Edition 30 Build Plaque
-
Am sure it is an Edition 30, but you cannot ask 11.5k for a car that has been so messed about with. I would ask why you would put a GOLF badge on the back as no GTI had this ? Something is'nt right here and any buyer who has done some basic research will walk away.
-
Deako the ed30 front badge was not standard, it's an add on. :-)
-
I have offered to check the car reg and vin to confirm if it was an ed30 from new, reg alone doesnt hold much value these days with the amount of stolen and cloned cars around.
I think that would help your argument that it is a real ED30
-
The rear GOLF badge doesn't mean anything. Although it might be a boot from a normal golf with the edition 30 badge out on it... If if the original had been damaged for instance.
Mine says TDI on the back, but its defo a ed30..... I think ;-)
-

:grin:
My mistake. So used to seeing cars on here with it. :wink:
-
Engine pics and a photo of the data sticker would help
-
Why would you change the badge? Or replace the boot with a normal one and not do it properly ?

Well I've just been on the phone to the trader I brought it from! Luckily I've paid on card.
The wheels I was selling on baby BMW would fit a 1er with adapters easy, it's been done.
The R32 would do 42mpg on a long run with a supercharger, unless you've had one you wouldn't have a clue.
-
A nice car no doulbt, but its not worth the money a complete edition 30 would command. Would all the messing around it has had I would simply move to the next complete one. It's a buyers market and no one wants a lemon.

Good. If you've genuinely not realised you've bought a sh*tter, then I hope it gets resolved.
No they wouldn't have fit. Ever.
Yes, I have actually. A good mate of mine had one, his never got over 20mpg... just like everyone elses. A charger sucks power at any revs, a turbo at least will be semi economical off boost.
Stop trying to be cute.
-
Its worth around 8k, but with so many questions over it unless the potential buyer knows nothing about ED30 and it is the first one they viewed it is going to be a very hard sell.
-
Well I've just been on the phone to the trader I brought it from! Luckily I've paid on card.
So what did the trader say then?
-
R32 charger..... 42mpg..... :signLOL: :signLOL: :signLOL:
I struggle to get 30mpg from a pissy little 2L 4 pot turbo...
-

"Everyone on the forum knows nothing, the car is an Edition 29.5 and has a standard cloth interior"

Joe. stop trying to defend your car and find out what it is you are trying to sell on here. Then clearly list the spec in your advert to what it actually is.
Your advert will be removed if you don't attempt to sort out your sale. :smiley:

Back for 30mins only :laugh:
-
To be fair it should be on the forum as it is in everyones interest to find out what is going on. :popcornsoda:

Good point TC :happy2:
