down by £500 nowYeah spoke to him yesterday. The car has a stamped book mostly by main dealer but no paperwork and I got my mate who works at VW to check it out on his works computer and he couldnt find any history so the seller is checking it out and coming back to me. I dont understand why when selling a car a dealer wouldn't present a car in a clean state. The engine bay was absolutely minging,the exhaust tips were black and the level for the water was low. Don't understand as if I was asking for nearly 10 grand for a car I would make sure everything stacks up before I let people see it.

I'll probably get shot down for this comment, but at nearly 90,000 miles, it is getting on a bit, and you might end up with the same problems that are bugging you about yours. Having said that, there aren't many low milers up for sale, so it's a difficult one, but without any paperwork???
I would keep looking, rather than getting drawn in any more, but of course it's your money... :thinking:

A lot of small independent dealers arrogantly think special editions will sell themselves, so they can whack the price up accordingly and put f'ck all effort into it's presentation for sale. I just find a lot of dealers to be utter pr1cks these days. "Yeah that's the price I'm selling it for, take it or leave it" No barter room like the good old days, like they don't need the business or something.
I saw a black Ed30 on the forecourt of my local VW dealer recently, which was cheaper than this silver one and it was presented immaculately inside and out. It was sold the same day they put it out there! That is the difference a good attitude to your livelihood can make.

I bet they probably use s/hand ebay parts, or GSF rubbish to repair the cars with as well!

Probably just someone in the armed forces getting it cheaper over in Germany. Quite common.Would that class it as an import though?

Maybe in this case it was a German spec car imported over, registered here, then taken back over. It can be hard to trace sometimes.

Hi Craig in answer to your question, my edition 30 is exactly the same. My one is right hand drive with all the usual spec, however it was built for the German market but was initially sold by motor point hence I don't have a unique number either.Do you think it will affect the price and desirability when selling?

As for the plaque I spoke to VW and they willing to assign number 2307 to my Edition 30 apparently VW have plaques for that exact reason
