Looking to get back into the Golf Scene.
I've seen this, its advertised for £10,750, however, I may be able to get it for £10,000 - £10,250, as I will be PX'ing mine for a good value.

Do you think it's a good buy? If I were to keep it for a year or so, would it lose a lot of its value if I put 5,000 miles on it?
Thanks

5,000 miles wouldn't really de-value it much but I do think they're asking strong money for it, you can buy a nice ED30 for that and it would probably hold its value better.

+2...
Maybe because its White & low mileage
if it was me,I would buy a ed30 for the amount they are asking

Id buy an ed30 for that money if. Not less
Mines was a 05 with high spec with 90k £5800 last year

Its very nice and tidy. But coming to sell it after only adding 5k miles on it, recouping your money will be tricky selling it private or trying partx it. ED30 day is a better buy

If it was me I would definately try and hold out for a well specced and well maintained ED30. When we bought ours I wasn't aware there was such a car as an ED30 otherwise I would have probably gone for one of those. In my opinion they look better and are more unique and sort after vehicles. Good luck with your new purchase and don't rush in to a sale. :happy2:

Sorry but that is massively overpriced even with the lower mileage! And its poverty spec!
I realise you're trying to shift yours, but the car linked in the OP is far from 'poverty spec'.
Xenons - 2.2k optional extra for a start.
Multi-function Steering Wheel
High-line display
18' Monza 2s
DSG gearbox
HEATED cloth seats - not that standard to be honest.
I guess the only thing missing is an armrest - can be bought for 120 dabs.
Unsure if it has power-folding mirrors or cruise control as I can't see the dial in the interior shot.
Updated stereo would really bring the interior up-to-date.
Other than that, I can't fault it - it looks awesome, though it is strongly priced as said. I personally wouldn't spend that amount of money on it.

Speaking as someone who has a Candy White Gti on a '56 plate with 55,000 miles on it and better spec I would agree with the guys on here and say this one is massively overpriced and I think primarily just because its white.
Not being ratty - but how much more spec does yours have over this one
Post by: Scott73 on February 18, 2015, 02:37:08 am
Full vw history, 60k, DSG, 18" monza, full leather, xenons, mfsw, folding mirrors, sunroof, cruise control. Think all it was missing was sat nav and highline clocks.
Overall in very good condition I side and out for £8900, personally felt this was a little overpriced, would of been happier at about £8.5k or just under, but after looking at more than a few sh*t ones didn't mind the bit extra.

In answer to the above question, and far from trying to be clever, ours has the same spec plus electric sunroof, factory sat nav, heated leather seats, reversing sensors and power folding mirrors (not sure if vehicle for sale has those already)
Just for comparison, currently on Autotrader there are 2 white Edition 30's for sale at £11500 & £12000 both 2008 models one has less miles than the vehicle mentioned and one has 53,000
So as both myself and Matthewsimone have already stated, that vehicle, although an excellent example is definately overpriced at nearly 11 grand.
I hope this answers your question mate :happy2:

I sold a car to Mark who owns Revitup a few months back and he's such a top bloke, he only has proper mint cars. I would not hesitate to buy any car off him, I honestly can't recommend the guy enough.

Yep - just wanted to know :happy2:
Good to know what others regard as "low" spec. To me, the one listed is far from low and has quite a few options. Leather seats are preferred by some and not others. I would say yours is highly specced and not the average car.
Post by: Rossimac on February 18, 2015, 01:56:33 pm
Sorry but in comparison it is poverty spec to me, no leather, no nav, possibly no folding mirrors! All of which mine has plus everything you mention above!
Its still £3,100 more than il be asking with much lower spec on same year so as i said already MASSIVELY OVERPRICED :laugh:
Took a look at yours - all it is missing is the MFSW. I would class yours as highly specced and this one as moderately specced.
Such a boring conversation, I know, but it interests me.
Looking at yours, of course it is the better buy and has more/better options! :happy2:
