I wondering if it's an import as it's not got the Euro sliding cover cup holder...

Didn't that only come when you specced an armrest?

You could well be right but I thought the armrest was standard in a ED30 unlike the GTI.

 Think you are correct

I dont think thats correct... Keanos ED30 didnt have an armrest.  :confused:

I've seen plenty without an central armrest. I'd assume they weren't all imports.

Armrest was definitely an option on the Edition 30.  Think it was standard on the Pirelli though.

FOR SALE!

Christ, quality answers. Wasn't expecting that.
So it's getting a cam belt, service, mot, tax for a yr plus I've asked for the pucker mats and he's obliged .
Was having trouble getting hold of the logbook but its on its way to the dealer as we speak. I have however spoken to a garage which serviced the car and he said it was an import! But  did an AA search and they didn't pick that up. Bit odd. Can't believe someone actually knew the guy who had it! Handy. Can he shed any light in its history?
Hadn't even thought about the spec to tell the truth, rookie, presumed it had sat nav and wouldn't have noticed the arm rest. I feel another conversation with the dealer coming on.  As it stands he's stuck on 12,800, those extras its missing must be worth bargaining on.
It's a chuffing lot if money so I appreciate all this stuff, cheers

Do you have a link for the website or the name of the garage/trader so we can see the car?

If its an import it may well not come with climate control. I certainly wouldn't be paying that kind of money for an import! :scared:

Would you feel differently if it was a UK-spec import?

I would consider one yes, but the price would need to be sweeter!

Mine is an import.from  Ireland I don't have climate I don't even  notice. I had it on last Audi make no difference to me  only prob was no alarm ff. As optional extra for Irish cars. Other than that it still a good car candy white 18 inch monza armrest thats about it .poverty spec people would.say but don't need highline satnav  cruise control  its still my pride and joy gti

Nope the armrest was an option that I had to pay for on my Eddy. Then a few weeks later they announce the Pirelli and the centre arm rest is now standard!  :fighting:

EDIT: Just read Golfgirl's reply!  :laugh:

The logbooks gonna be with the dealer probably by Thursday, he's assured me already its NOT an import. It doesn't make a hell of a lot of difference to me whether it is or not, but, I can definitely push to get the price down if it does turn out to be imported when hes told me its not. Top of the list for me would be the xenon lights,  so price wise what am i looking at roughly? I can live without sat nav.

Unless I've missed something, that's absolute poverty spec.

No highline computer
No MFSW
No cruise control
No Xenons
No winter pack
No armrest

Get the price down if you can.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

If that is the case then its not worth 13K

For 13K i would want...

low miles
DSG
Parking sensors
highline computer
MFSW
cruise control
Xenons
winter pack
armrest
RNS510
a++ condition.
