Looking to change from my 5 door Eddy to a 5 door Golf R :happy2: Seems to be a tough task, 3 out of 4 dealers I have called about cars they are advertising have told me they had been sold, and due for collection, but yet 4 days later they still advertising the cars, that really bugs me.
Been on Autotrader, Ebay, Piston Heads and even tried the RForum......................
I want it in White, but if I can't get the spec I want in white, then I'll just get the car fully wrapped in white instead, as for me it's all about the spec of the car to start with.
Anyone got any ideas?

Tried searching VW used cars online?

Yes took a look there, but no joy

Just keep looking mate and be patient. It took me over a year to find my Edition 30 and in that time I only viewed two other cars.
Sods law if you settle for a slightly different spec than your looking for, the perfect car will pop up for sale a week later

What spec do you need?

Tried the R Forum even tried to register, but 48hrs later still no granted acces.

I wouldn't bother with adaptive chassis, and the black alloys, you can always get them powder coated black yourself.

I really need a 5 door as we have 2 young kids, and a 3 door would be a pain, with them getting in and out of the back.
But thankyou anyway

I know what you mean mate... I started my search for a R since dec12... Found one a few weeks ago..there's a nice one for 25ish with bucket seats 5dr Dsg in white on autotrader at the moment
-
Sold my R in under 20 mins on the R forum, If I had to be really honest it isn't that special nice yes but on reflection I much prefer my E92 BMW 3.0 Diesel
You have a nice ED30 keep that and the money

I love the Golf but couldn't spend 30k on one.... (or even 20...)
Niges looks good for 21 though :happy2:

+1
and wait for the Edition 40 :innocent:

Sorry and all that, but I've had an Ed30, Ed35 and currently have an R and there is no comparison. The R is better in every respect, end of, IMHO. :evilgrin:
-
A lot of american folk seem to think that S1/S2/S2+ Ed's are much quicker than the equivalently tuned R's from everything but launch, due to weight and drive losses.
