IS THIS ED30 UK OR EUROPEAN IMPORT CAR
« on: January 24, 2011, 09:22:32 pm »
this car is local to me and has been up for sale for some time, it was first listed on ebay october 2010 for over £20000, and has slowly come down to the more realistic price of £17394, my question is is this a uk car bought from a local dealer or a import car bought online through a import dealer for a discount price when new, thanks, here is the link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2008-VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-2-0T-GTI-Edition-30-DSG-Auto-/390278545444?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item5ade6a0024

Can't tell if it's an import from the ad.

Car is advertised for £16998 on their website though.

i agree, phoned them in october last year when i was looking for a gti and asked them what was special about the car as it was priced at over 20k, the answer i got was just a standard ed30, explained to the guy it was way over priced, and stil is  that is why it has not sold i expect, just thought it might be a import, shouldnt the wheels  be silver not black?

Just refurbed, Pesckies only came in one colour and VW dont even know what it is.  :laugh:  You could ask them if there is a spare wheel,  European models never came with this unless specced for the UK.  :happy2:

According to DVLA it was first registered on 01 - 03 - 08, it doesn't say that it's an import.

The 1st of march registration date would lean towards a UK spec registered car

Made him an offer of £16.5k at the start of the month when it was still advertised at £17998 and he just laughed and said no chance. He is dreaming if he thinks he will get any more to be honest.

I'm just waiting to pick mine up - less than 5k miles, 3 door, dsg etc :happy2: and it was a good bit less than he is asking. :stupid:

mine is an ED30 import so should have 18" Monza, should be black unless they have been powder coated silver like mine. also as someone said you wont get a spare wheel with import but cruise control should be fitted already as standard i think.

After a quick browse around pistonheads and autotrader I don't think that's as overpriced as some are saying.  There's 57 plate manuals on there for similar money.
