Why are edition 30 so expensive
« on: September 22, 2014, 09:35:10 pm »
The book for less then 8k according to parkers guide

Yes there limited I know yes they are nice

But I don't get how a 2007 plate can be 11k  for 7 year old car !

I mean when I get one I'll want top dollar but it's mad

Book price is always less than what private sale will reach.

If there's less of them and there nice to look at its always Guna hold its value.

Book means nothing it's just a guideline it's down to demand for the car people still want them and being honest after nearly 7 years of ownership they are worth the money

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

I laughed at this as I posted the exact same topic on the R32 Forum when I was looking to buy one.

I guess VW just hold the value and hold it well they do.

You will see the value of an ED30 if and when you buy it  :happy2:

They are keeping there price because they are sort of limited numbers. Also they are a bloody amazing car for the money. Spend a few quid (ok... few thousand) on them and they are very very capable.

The GTI6 made the Eddy stay in grace for many reasons.

The 7 should've been the 6, a true generation leap.

The 8 will only be a tweaked 7. VW seem to only do significant changes every 2 generations now (bit like apple)

The mk7 uses an all new chassis too I believe? Unlike the new Rocco R which is still a mk5 underneath which kind of shows you how much VW love the mk5 platform.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

All VW's hold their money, so when it comes to a ltd edition version that's only going to be more exaggerated
