Is there a way to re-register it? hmm, tempted to just walk away like you say, maybe its too much hassle then its worth.

As others have said future buyers will say it's just a ed 30 replica and you'll be the one to take the hit, for £600 more you can get a genuine ed 30 with similar miles.

Also to note why is this one with lower miles cheaper than others with 10k more miles, seems a bit suspicious

Its a pretty poor spec regardless of it being a genuine Ed30 or not - no steering wheel controls, no highline, no xenons, no parking sensors etc. etc. You can get a lot more car for that kind of money

Totally agree. As the others have said walk away and wait for the right one. Good luck with the search.

There weren't a lot of edition 30's that were high specced, a lot of the high spec parts like xenons were added by enthusiasts later on. It's the same as the GTI a lot of people left them quite basic and then enthusiasts got them. It's handier having the stuff on them granted but it wouldn't put me off especially since you could bring one up to full spec (minus sunroof) for about £1,000 (very roughly and excluding labour) so the price of a nice set of alloys.

Checked on a few apps against the plate index and every time comes back as a 'GTI', no mention of actual horse power or any further model information to clarify (which is rare compared with the bucket loads of Edition 30's I've plate checked over the years).

Definitely avoid when you can make life easier and get another one with full peace of mind for similar cash and probably better spec  :happy2:

Agree with all ... walk away. I looked at three Eddy's before I bought mine. The first was amazing condition and well looked after. I asked to see the paper work and it was odd that it didnt have much. It especially didnt have a UK bill of sale from new.  Something wasn't right and in the end I checked the VIN with VW and it was a German import.. So it was bought and specc'd in Germany then imported and registered in the UK as new.

It will cause you grief on resale and insurance as its an import. Generally folks want british and want the limited edition number.

Its also not well specc'd as others have pointed out. Move on... this is not the eddy you are looking for.  :wink:

Check the for sale section in there mate all info is in. It's black magic, 70500 miles with full service history and mot until Jan 2018. Just spent nearly 600 quid on brakes and shoes so should be a good tick in the box
