Edition 35 reflex silver rare?

[dazzamann]

Hi all,
Looking at buying a edition 35 in reflex silver, the seller claims it to be 1 of 2 registered in the UK. How can i confirm this? I rang VW to no avail.

Thanks,
Darren

hi
assume its this car : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225135679969?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=2wXr6F1CQDO&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

not really sure its possible to verify the claims.
anecdotally im sad and track the ed35 market on ebay and silver are pretty rare (compared to white, red and darkgrey) , ive seen some blue japanese imports (which also get the cool seat options!).

unless you really love silver , shouldnt really be a value thing to any great extent (well it wouldnt be for me)
more on condition of the car etc
id want to see the area above the gearlever to see the installed options. (reverse sensors (doesnt look like it has it) , DDC , autopark etc)
of note the wheels are 18 inch watkins glen , not 19 inch glendales .....

Yes thats the car in question, nice work detective! xD
Ideally i wanted a white one but this look too clean to pass up on tbh, its medium spec from what I understand but no ddc.
Happy with 18” wheels as cheaper tyres haha!

Any thoughts?

Any particular reason you want an ED35? They’re much thirstier than a normal mk6 GTI. The one in the add looks absolutely stunning to be fair - but virtually no option? Doesn’t have parking sensors or cruise which I would definitely want on it for that money. If you went for a normal mk6 with your budget you could get a lovely one. I bought a 5dr silver on 54k for 11 grand a few months ago. DSG, leather, cruise, parking sensors etc..

Although having said all that I do completely understand specifically wanting a ED35 haha

I think most people want the ED35 for it's engine and rarity    Plus it's a good upgrade from a MK5 as they are much better made.

Yeah I agree about the rarity - but a normal mk6 GTI is exactly the same as the ed35 in terms of an upgrade as it’s the same car. When I was buying it was the thirsty engine that put me off it. Plus no interior difference to a standard GTI. Shame they never altered the interior like they did with the ed30

Don't forget the ED35 has the 8P S3 engine in it, whereas the regular GTI only has a K03 turbo on it.  So a much bigger power advantage to the ED35 when remapped.

I didn't realise the ED35 was otherwise the same.  A pretty lame effort on VW's part then!  I don't like the ED35's wheels at all. The GTI looks a lot better.
