Edition 30 worth the premium?

[Frodo-anni]

I nearly gave up looking for the right spec'd ED30, to go for a GTI with good spec in a certain colour.

Its all down to personal choice, make a list of must have's ie spec - 3/5 dr, dsg/manual, xenons, armrest, highline, then have a list of nice to have. Godd service history and condition is vital, i didnt want another silver car, but once i'd seen mine and spoken with the previous owner, it was very well looked after.

LOL... well ill probably still have mine in 10 years... given thats its 5 door aka "kid proof" 

Wish I'd bought a more door, wouldn't be having for sale thoughts now! 

Beddie, you want a silver 5dr, may have to go after my news this week 

Yeah saw the bad news mate, gutted for you but I have my fingers crossed and I know something better will come of it for you in the end chap

Well I have no intention to mod it, I want a standard one and want to keep it that way

But going by the responses in this thread then I am starting to think I shouldn't compromise and go for the Edition 30

Also stuck on the DSG vs Manual, I've only driven a DSG for about 10 minutes, ideally I'd like to spend a good amount of time in one to see if the novelty wears off

Auto Express magazine recon if you buy one now and keep it for 10yrs it will be worth the same then 

Well i'm keeping mine for at least 10 so we will know , you'll just have to remind me to update this thread then
