Mk5 Edition 30 Selling Help

[alex55]

Hi there

I am looking to sell a mk5 Golf GTI edition 30 very soon and if i am honest i don't know that much about their worth apart from Autotrader searches. Could you have a look at this spec and reccomend me a price to sell it at where it will sell within a couple of weeks? Do these cars sell well or will it sit for a while?

Its a 2007 Golf GTI edition 30
49,000 miles
Steel Grey
3 door
DSG auto box

Completely standard, never been modified in anyway
HPI clear
1 Owner from new
Full VW service history
12 months MOT

Only bits are the drivers chair has wear on the bolster and the wheels are kerbed.

It is a fantastic car and a clean slate to anyone looking at buying an edition 30, what do you guys think in terms of pricing?

Many thanks

Hi and welcome
With mileage like that, FSH and 1 owner I don't think you'll struggle to sell it.
There are plenty of people wanting them, check wanted classifieds.
Check Ebay and other sites for a better guide.

I think just after xmas is generally a bad time to sell up but you won't have much trouble selling that, any optional extras?

I tend to look at sold listings on EBay to gauge actual selling prices rather than advertised prices. On that basis I'd say about £6500 - £7500. If this suits I may be interested !

Or you could just advertise it here.....on this post

£6500 - £7500 for a low mileage edition 30? Dont think so 

[alex55]

thanks for all the replies, i will indeed list it on here when it goes up for sale :) would you recommend i refurb the wheels before the sale or leave them as they are?

Maybe he was chancing his luck 

[DANBOY66]

personally get the wheels refurbed i pay £200 so well worth getting them done

then i would go with something like 11300 except anything above 10000

just depends how long you want to sit on it

Be wary of forum offers, some people can try to lowball you if your not sure.
Get it all the time on an RC forum I'm on, new guys ask how much is X worth next it's sold for peanuts, traders often prowl the forums.

£6500-£7500   that would be a bargain.

You should get £10000 for that or there abouts.
Goodluck

I paid £6800 for my 06 Mk5 Gti 59K 3 months ago, manual, no extras.

Would've loved to have seen an ED30 for that money at the time!

[Frodo-anni]

circa £10k?

Just the spec I was after when I was looking 4 years ago 

[Patrick1964]

I tend to look at EBay Sold listings when gauging actual selling prices. According to EBay right now the last ED30' have gone for less than £7500(best offer accepted, 55,000 miles), £6275 (94k), £6750 (99k), £6100 (72k). I'm not saying there aren't variations in trim, tune and condition, but £11k looks highly optimistic from where I sit

As others have said - only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it
I personally think 10k is a bit optimistic but who knows?

Put in on eBay with a sensible reserve and see what happens - its the best place and widest market appeal for cars
Quality pics, with an accurate description and spec is key to achieving the best price - cant give the prospective buyer too much info

Does it have the following options?
Xenons
Highline
Armrest
RNS510 - Nav unit
Multi Function Steering Wheel
Cruise Control
Folding Mirrors
Full Leather
Premium Tyres
MOT Advisories
How long have you owned it?
Reason for sale? 
Previous work outside normal service items - such as mechatronic units/suspension components/cambelts/windscreen replacements and so on
Any insurance flags Cat C/D, previous accident damage

If it doesn't reach the reserve - try again, reduce or hold on to the car.
All depends what you NEED to realise from the sale and how quickly it has to go.
What does we buy any car price it as - regarding an absolute minimum "trade" valuation?
