So would you recommend replacing the head unit?

I know 11k is relatively dear, I would be looking at getting at least £500 off hopefully more. Taking into account the low miles and vw guarantee (not sure how good it is) it seemed pretty comparable to the ed 30's I'd seen for sale on here, flebay, PH and autotrader.

What price should I be looking to pay, is it worth trying negotiate some kit like retrofit cruise control?

Sorry for all the questions the help has been much appreciated!

I would say that for that mileage the car is well priced and good value for money at £11k

I think that was cheap for a dealer forecourt, hence why it sold so fast.

I would have expected a VW to sell that car at over £12k perhaps £12495 . VW Warranty is always nice for a year . But you pay for it in the price , you can get an equivalent warranty elsewhere if you pay .

Very well priced, for the miles and spec, would probably have expected that car to be at £12k at a dealers. Car even had winter pack selected - headlight washers !

I also thought that was cheap for main dealer price. Condition may have been poor in reality tho.

Good luck with the search...

Don't think so - It wouldn't be sold as VW approved or even be on their forecourt ??

I've saw lots of the main dealer approved cars, they are not pristine in most cases. They only need to have full VW service history and be in average nick to be put on the forecourt.

Funnily enough the worst condition car at a VW dealer I have seen was an edition 30 I saw a couple of years ago. It had a 1/2" hole in the drivers seat bolster!

So I picked up an ed 30 last weekend. I'll get some pictures up after I've cleaned it tomorrow. Getting some new boots delivered PS3's and it's having the clutch and flywheel ( and possibly wheel bearing) next Thursday.

Well sniped! Good thanks, except for a £1450 bill in the first couple of weeks for clutch, flywheel, rear calipers, discs and pads.
How's yours?
