Candy white Edition 30, How much?

[G4V VW]

Hi folks

I'm after some advice and pick your brains!!!
I'm considering buying the above and have seen one for sale £17999 from a VW dealer. It's an 2008 08 plate with 16 thousand odd miles, nearly 17 i think. Registered in April 08. 3 door.

From what i can see from the pics it has Xenons and centre arm rest as options. I havn't seen the car yet but did phone and ask the dealer what options it had. Well i may aswel of not bothered because they have not got a clue. The sales manager said er er well its got 18inch bbs wheels..... what a prat!!!!

I popped into my local VW dealership and they printed me off the vehicle data (not history or customer details) but do i understand it...do i hell..

The advice i'm looking for is...is the vehicle with the spec ive listed so far worth the money if obviously it was in good condition?

Any advice welcome

It seems to be the going rate im afraid, i'm also after a candy white ed 30, I saw that one your looking at but I've got my eyes on another one!!

The white ones are getting good money, they probably gave the last owner 15-15.5k for it so worth trying to haggle some extra bits plus at least 1k off, don't hang around to long though as my CW ed30 sold on the same day it went on the forecourt apparently

Is it the one at Hyde VW?

Just seems alot considering the specs not great.  

Jesus sold the same day  . Better get my skates on. Ive put a holding deposit on it and gonna look at it the weekend.

@ 182_BLUE, What extra bits do you think i should haggle over?
And yes i think they think im willing to pay the asking price but its not gonna happen   only offering me £3750 for my gt tdi mkv, mind you it has got 97k on the clock, thought it would be worth a little bit more though..

Yes pal

I saw it advertised the other day, I could swing by and have a look if you like or are you local?, I used to have my ED30 serviced there, was very happy with their service

Let us know how nice/crap it is when you view it :D

Gaz I would be very grateful if you could mate, i live in telford so its about 1h 40 to there. The plot thickens though pal cos i went to look at it sunday just gone but it wasnt there..... i wasnt to happy although i suppose i should of phoned first. Apparently it belongs to the Sales managers wife so not sure if it will be there in the week or not!!

I think the sales women thought i was selling my golf with the charlestons i bought off ya mate....no chance of that i love them wheels 

@ DAV, I'll let ya know mate

[gazbutS3]

I'll try to call in over the weekend

Excellent thanks pal

Does anyone think its worth trying to get money off using the low spec excuse or would i be wasting my time trying?

Tried to ask them if it had Highline but they just didnt know  its one of two things i want (its gotta have xenons)
Its got radio with cd/mp3 listed on this spec sheet i have, also says multifunction display/ on board computer is that highline?

Don't go by what the spec list on the VW site says. It's not accurate some times. Is it DSG? If it's got xenons then it's probably well specced.

[CaptainJack]

there's two come into the VW network recently. both pretty young and similar mileage. one has xenons and the other is DSG. both CW and both 18k. i think it's the going rate from MD'ers.

i'm starting to think about getting a scirocco instead.

Anything, free mats, free servicing, extended warranties, gap cover , tank of fuel you ge tthe idea, but for the candy's its a sellers market so you might have to pay what they want, all worth a go, you can always walk away
