Title: Edition 30 for Sale
Post by: irish_ram on December 18, 2014, 06:06:45 pm
Hi Everyone,

I am looking at trading up to an Edition 30 and found this one for sale. Not really got a clue about what price range a good ED30 should be so wondered if this looked okay.

Someone posted about this car before. For some reason it has the seats fitted from a Seat Leon so personally I'd stay away.

What mileage is on it? I'd say that's too much. mines 2 years younger with 44k and I paid 10k

It was me, the garage had no idea the seats were wrong.

Yeah, when i asked about the seats they didnt have a scooby do. May indicate that the interior has been stolen perhaps?

The wrong interior would have a big impact on sale price, as those seats are unlikely to be heated and will not have the electric lumbar support, like the ED30 do as standard.

Ideal chance to knock them down as it doesn't have the original interior which you'd want in an Edition 30.

I'm selling my edition 30 in steel grey when I get back from work in a couple of weeks. Immaculate condition and will be cheaper than the one you have posted.

Although its a manual and 5 door?

Cheers, I am looking for a 3 door though and either Tornado Red or Candy White so maybe going to be a long waiting game  :confused:

Quite right. .

They look amazing in candy white.
 Steel grey was my 3rd choice in colour but the spec and price was what I wanted.


Good luck with the hunt. They are a really good car straight out the factory which can be made into a great car easily :happy2:

There is this one for sale in Ireland (judging by your username) with an unreal spec and I'm pretty sure is a forum member. I was gonna buy from the UK but our stupid country charge over €3.5k for vrt. Might be worth looking into

I'm just about to put mine up for sale 07 reg ed30. 60k from new 3 owners, mint condition, 4 recent tyres, cambelt pump and tensions done 2 months ago. Winter pack heated seats, steering wheel controls etc. I'm looking for 9k. I think that is pretty reasonable. Very clean car.

So this car has the wrong interior and still hasn't sold so the garage has upped the price by £1000 Pmsl.

How much, they must be having a laugh, there's not even a mention of service history.

They seem an incompetent bunch, the price in the picture and description is less than the advertised price  :congrats: I would stay clear of them and look elsewhere.

There are better ones to be had. Just look out for wing rust, water pump & cambelt history (likely to needed) and the state of the brakes (these might need replacing)

This seems a more reasonable price:
