£9k for an Edition 30

[lambera]

I am thinking of buying an edition 30 or a gti. I know I will be able to get a lower mileage gti for my money, but what sort of mileage eddie could I be looking at getting for £9000.

70k mile Ed30 or maybe lower is in your price range 

But buy on condition rather than mileage. Plenty of sheds out there with low miles, and plenty of high mile cars that are like new: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,89950.0.html

Yeah good point, I think I want the k04 as less needed for good power plus hold their value better than a normal gti. Would you say 70k is ok if it had been well looked after fsh and so on.

Mine has 72k now and runs just fine. Niki @ R-Tech has 120k on his ed30, it doesn't stop him pushing the limits of it and he ain't broke it yet 

The car in the link above has 167k and looks like it's barely done 67k.

FSH and a stack of receipts is what you want

totally depends on spec, mods, gearbox...... oh and its nearly christmas so no one will be buying. gives you more bargaining

someone just sold one on here for 13k

[DamoP]

70-80k. id be looking for FSH or FVWSH

[lambera]

I would be looking for a dsg standard or modified. 60k i would be hoping for really

I just got myself a Pirelli edition with good spec 5dr, dsg, rns510, mfsw, cruise, fsh, with 70000 on the clock for just over £9000 and it looks and drives fantastic.only thing missing was xenons

[lambera]

Sounds a good buy was that of the forum?

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

Probably not it would have been 13.5k on here

[Spankiee]

I always think my 3dr 08 eddy in white was a bargain I paid £10k with 44k on the clocks.

That was 6 months ago.

[lambera]

That does sound a good deal

Mine has 67k and in two years of my ownership has had all the suspension changed, refurbed brakes, second cambelt kit & routine maintenance gone mental.

Look at each car individually rather than rule in or out due to mileage I would say.

Mine's around 75k. I can think of very few parts on it that are more than 10k old.
Serviced every 5k, 2 Cambelt changes...
