Mk5 Edition 30 Prices

[andygo]

There's not many for sale on Autotrader, prices asked seem to be relatively static which is nice.

On the other hand, prices seem to be holding up on MK6 GTi's, which is not nice. Well, unless you have a MK6.

£5k to swap from ED30 to MK6  is a bit of a jump - its 50% more..

For the 2k extra in paint, you could get NQSBBK, CAI, TBE, Springs and Map with some left over for bits and bobs.  White is nice, but not THAT nice!

issue i have is that i want candy white, but when i see silver ones for sale on a forecourt for 11k, how can i justify spending 13k on a candy white one for sale privately

Yes you can, because that's the colour you want - will you get it back when you sell it? some of the difference, but not all of it. Is it worth it? to you yes because you'll kick yourself if you don't get the colour you want, to others no.

Its your money do want you want - your here for a good time, not a long time.

Depends how much cash you've got mate... I know I'd have way much more fun with the bits listed above than the colour of paintwork. But if you've got the cash, go for both

Candy white is deffo the way to go. In the 3 years I've had mine I've only ever seen two others on the road and one was a good mates. Don't see many about at all. That's just my opinion though.

^^^Yes I believe so. I suppose everyone's different and colour is more important for some than others.

I just can't get my head around it; if it was £100 or £200 ok, but 1-2k seems an inordinate premium. You could have a full respray for that much.

Candy White - £500-750 max extra over any of the other colours.

Spoke to VW about trading my DBP one in against an R. Was pleasantly surprised that reduction in value in relation to mine being an EU import is "neglible" as it is all down to spec and condition and history of my car shows up fully on their database anyway.

At the time I sold my 08 Candy there were red/silver/black ones going for £11000, Candy commands about £750-1000 more in my opinion, good spec adds more still and 5 doors more so again.

Jabbalukes old car must have have had about 4 owners since I saw it last year

Red ones and Grey ones should be worth less as they look gash.  Anyone who is selling one of those rubbish colours PM me and I'll take it off your hands 

In all seriousness, how do you think DSG affects price?

Having lived with an SMG M3 I'm quite keen on the idea of a DSG but haven't tried one so I'm not sure if I'd willingly pay a premium over manual.  Do they tend to be worth more?

P.s, Just realised this is my first post and I haven't introduced myself- I'll do that now!

Put it this way, you won't want SMG after you've tried DSG.

Worlds apart

DSG cars do sell for a higher price. Cheaper Ed30's are manual and normally a lower spec. I was quite shocked that low spec ed30's are from 8.5k whereas better spec'd Dsg models go for around 11k as an average

Jeez - that's a state. Rear bumper in front of the front? Spun the car, or is that a scrapyard pic?
