Looked at several cars the weekend, well ones I could!! (No Golf R about)

Just a quick question the vw scirocco r, does it use the same engine as the ED30?

Getting around the £15k mark for a trade in on my car, is this realistic?

Cheers

I don't think 15k is realistic! Audi offered me 13k for mine, 07 with 55k miles...

Yeah the Rocco' R shares the same engine as the ED30  :pomppomp:

£15k sounds a little low to me, you may be better of selling it privately  :happy2:

15k def sounds low tbh for your car which is very low mileage one owner.

I think if I were in your position I would be looking at a Lotus Exige for a weekend car  :happy2:

I'd love an exige but they're not the most practical cars and a bugger to get in and out.


Depends what your using this weekend car for? Pure driving pleasure, local runs to the shop, outings?

I understand why people stick with VAG as the range of cars are all good looking. Don't rate the 1 series, yes it may be fast but I think its one ugly car.

I'm really coming round the the facelift S3 and that would be my choice. Wish I had the cash to buy your ED30, I'd personally be after around £17k for it.

If I had the choice of either two it would be the S3. I'm sure the R is a cracking car but no way I would spent that much. Just doesn't seem special enough to me. 

Saying that bought brand new before and would never do it again as I lost far too much money!

It'd be a porker for me all the way...£34k for the R! They are avin' a tin baff. :stupid:

I am sure it drives way more special than it looks.   :rolleye:

£15k seems very cheap, considering the condition/mileage of your car. If that was from a vw dealer, they'll have that up for £19k ish a few days later.
