limited Candy white 30 editions for sale??

[GOLDENBOY]

Hi all,
After having my beloved steel grey gti been written off by a crazied old lady im on look out for new car. Always wanted a 30 edition and would like a candy white with good spec xenons and sat nav 3 door with low milage,on .07, 08 plate But there seems very little out there for sale  ??  does anybody know how many were made, and how much should i be looking to pay.

Sorry to hear abot your Steelie  

Unfortunately for you your probably looking for the rarest colour (some will say steel grey is rarest, but i seen 3 of them since november and not seen 1 Candy white one yet!).

Wanting a 3dr candy on 07/57/08 plate with low mileage and top spec limits your options and chances quite a lot.

Imagine 2300 built and equal number of cars per colour thats only 460 white ones, maybe half of those are 3dr so 260, then half of those are poverty spec 130, then you dont want 56 plate lose another 25 or soand your left with 105, and now you want low mileage too  , not too many to choose from.

Above is just an idea and I would say there are way more red, black and silver ED30s than there are white or steel grey although possibly more 3dr versions than 5dr (Lots of ex lease cars  will be 5 doors as lots of companies have stipulations on 5drs only).

Chances are with what you want your probably looking for 10-15 cars out of 2300 in the country  

Regards how much to pay depends on how hard you haggle, but if i was looking to buy an 08 plate Ed30 I would be looking at £11K to £11.5k, add some for white so possibly £12K max with good spec, maybe more for VERY low miles (remember if your looking for 08 plate 44K miles is currently the average!).

I started looking for my candy Ed30 in June last year and found one in november, in that time on ebay and autotrader I only saw 6 candy white ones for sale. My search was for 3 or 5dr, Candy white DSG, Xenons and sat nav, with FVWSH anything else it had was a bonus!, only saw 2 that fitted the bill and I bought one of them (The other was cleaner but also seller wanted £2K more, now for sake of 2 new tyres, spare key being cut and front splitter being repainted I was happy not to pay the extra £2k for the priveledge!!, it cost me £450 to sort those bits! on mine!)

Mako v12v. is making noises about flogging his cw 3dr 30k Non xenons thou but can be retro fitted pm him and see where you get to   But sure his is manual box 

[GOLDENBOY]

Thanks for feed back guys  i will pm mako16v see if he wants to sell!!! tamiyoman sounds like you have been through it all mate,i thought there was limited amount but not that bad!!!! 10-15 cars in country is scarey!!

I know, it took me a while to find one but im a happy chappy now.

Those figs are just estimates based on numbers, its likely that there are a lot less white Ed30's than i think, if you nsee how many red, silver and black there are on here it makes you think there are a lot less of them.


I did ask VW how many of each colour were made but as yet they have not replied (I dont actually expect them to either).

I know what you mean about finding it hard to get the Ed30 you want mate... I was looking for about 4 months when my MY08 3Dr Candy White DSG Ed30 appeared 10miles away in Sunderland Audi.  I feel i paid top dollar for it, but it's got Sat Nav, FVWSH, Xenons, Cruise, MFSW, Highline, etc.  Plus a real bonus was having 3 months worth of warranty left when I got >£1500 worth of work done.... keep looking mate and you'll find the one you want

[Tamiyoman]

I was very lucky with mine, it had FVWSH 39k, Highline, MFSW, Xenons, Centre Armrest, Winter Pack, Comfort pack, Sat Nav, Sunroof and all that was missing from the list was cruise (which was fitted by the forums own eddie_nl), it even came with a 3 year warranty on the DSG box (33 months left  ) after it was replaced by VW under warranty for previous owner  , even better was previous owner needed to sell and he let me take it at a good price  

I think the only options its missing are Bluetooth and folding mirrors

All it needed was the splitter painting, 2 new tyres and key cut and it was a sorted car!, cant wait to go stage 1

I had to wait 5months for a candy white 3dr, manual with no more then 40k and ended up with a candy white 3dr with 22k on the clock......loads of extras as well. One will pop up but I had to wait 5months and nearly changed my mind about what car to buy. It was worth the wait in the end!!!! The stats about how many of each colour would be interesting!

[Tamiyoman]

I have done a follow up email asking how many of each, maybe i will get a reply?

There is one on autotrader at the moment. Trade seller, 2008, 86000 miles £12000 

[Vdub13799]

And a 2007 model, private seller, 32000 miles, £13000  Bit much in my opinion probably worth 11.5 - 12 tops!!!

Yeah that one has been for sale since October, apparently the dealer is well known for shonky cars 

[Vdub13799]

The 2007 model sounds better, but I think they will struggle to sell at that price!?

Thats got Nav, Highline and MFSW and armrest but no Xenons (retro fit) and yes its priced at what he wants to get not what he will get  

Mileage sounds good (low) but no mention of S/History

Might be worth a look and throwing a figure at him

I had a look around it and it's a nice car and yes he does do some bad cars I just think he has way too much stock
