Gti Mk5 Standard vs Gti Ed30 - Same Price But Which One?

[outlandish]

Gti std is 8995
Gti ed30 is 9500

69,000 miles
70,000 miles

Both 2008 and different garages. If vw offer 6k trade in for an ed30, even if the dealer gets it for 7k off the seller and put it up for 9500 that's a quick 2,500 minus any fees profit margin so a fair if not over priced car in my opinion.

Silver all day long!

Silver ED30 no question about it  ( but I am biased reminds me of my old one   But someone else is enjoying it now   )   ...... Looking at you're pictures the ED30 doesn't  have Xenon headlights or the headlamp washers to go with them.

are you sure the ed30 has xenons ?
although i have a black gti with a fair few retro fits the ed30 wins this hands down
£500 difference, great, as long as your not missing something on the ed30 that is making it such a close price
maybe add some more pics for us if you can

so no xenons
i guess it is a basic spec ed30 with the edition of bbs alloys
the advert says mfsw but it doesnt have one
noticed it doesnt have an arm rest, is all ed30s like that ?i like having the arm rest
i guess if you also had the link for the gti then it would be easier to compare then although most people will say the ed30
looks like a tidy enough car though
apart from that stereo lol

Appears a very basic car, only option i can see is what looks like rear parking sensors.

I posted the link not the OP, i'm assuming this is the one he is talking about.

Personally not fussed about added extras as long as the car has fsh, looks tidy outside and inside and drives good then I'm happy! The black gti doesn't have xenons either but I don't drive much at night so again not fussed! Going to get him soon, can't wait!

[Dave J]

So did you go for the black one in the end?
I tried a black 5-dr Pirelli before my ED30 - loved the colour, just seemed too much work to keep clean!
Some very dark tints on the rear of that black gti - any other mods on it?

Good man. Enjoy driving the bloody thing. Xenons won't make up for a poor car, although if a good car has them then fair enough.

Who needs a reversing camera anyway, apart from corpulent oafs?
