Just to highlight the issues there, they recently sold a M3 V8, when the car was checked over a rear tyre had an egg in the side wall, clearly visible. Mechanic told to turn tyre round so that it was on the inside, therefore cant be seen. Need i say more!! :happy2:

With a edition 30 or Pirelli Id buy dealers or at cost only
There a car that will always be sought after and wanted, they will always have enthusiasts looking for them
So in my eyes I'll buy from main dealer or I will pay a "fair" amount more for one, at a dealer you pay for the after care,you pay for a service and it's reassuring to have Someone to fall back on and let Someone else do the hpi etc for you
As for a trade dealer...pay for what you get, trade dealers know what these cars are worth,they know what money they fetch so in my eyes a cheap car from a trader normally means there is something hiding? Why would they buy a car in for 10k that's worth say 17k and sell it for 12k when they can get the full RRP for it? Normally because there is something that you can't see!

This is why I will buy main dealer from now on,easy to buy from,reassurance,contact,after care, and it looks better when you sell the car on, I got fed up looking for polo for my girlfriend 1 year ago by people advertising things as mint when they were dogs,wasted to much time and caused more hassle and stress, now I'll just pop to the main dealer 5 mins away and leave the work to them   :smiley:
Hope you get a good one  :drinking:

Jack
Wise words mate.
Only started looking recently so hopefully I'll make the right choice and also get one soon.
I reckon might even find one here. :)
I don't know if the ed30 or pirelli ever made it to Ireland so I'm left to choose one in the uk which is slightly akward as I'm sure you can imagine.  I found a normal 08 Gti dsg with a ed30 kit on it over here but the mad basterd wanted 17500 for it.
Anyway I'll keep you all updated on my progress.

Thanks again for the help
