I have had my gti for a year and a half and was thinking about moving to an Edition 30. Went and had a look at one in Peterborough 5 door in white with 65k on the clock, 2008 model with mfsw and parking sensors, no other obvious upgrades, radio was a basic vw one, up for £11995.
Condition was ok but me being a perfectionist my 2005 tornado red is in better condition. My gti has 74k on the clock so not a great difference in mileage. Both have full service history.
So I asked how much to part ex, dealer would not move on price of Eddie £11995, offered me £5500 for mine, I know I would prob get about £6500 for mine if I sold privately (hopefully).
So the question is, is an editon 30 3 years younger than mine really worth £6495 more than my 2005 gti!
Personally I don't think so, with that amount of money I could run my current car for a few more years and spend quite alot on remaps, upgrades etc.
Also I have noticed that mk6 gti prices are getting pretty close to top end Eddie prices.
I know the Eddie is a limited addition but not worth the extra for me at the moment.
