Been here a while after owning 6 Mark 5’s so far but after selling my T5 I’m on the hunt for a ED30. Needs to be DSG and be stock. Finding a stock one that hasn’t been messed with seems the hardest thing.
Ideally 3dr too.
Would really like an enthusiast owned car and have a budget of £10k for the right own.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Iv got a white DSG 3door, its on 108k full service history and its really very clean example.
Iv drafted up the full specs so if your interested im happy to send this to you before i put it for sale in a couple of months.
Its going on for 12k.

Be nice to sell to another enthusiast!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200921/28ea86053b1f27c0dc134983142b6b7f.jpg)

The car looks great, I do like them in white!
But is £12 realistically ever going to happen?
I paid £8750 4 years ago for a 58 plate Pirelli with 47k on the clock in great condition. It's still in great nic, and is similar miles to yours now, but I'd value it at about £7k

I appreciate it's more about condition, and history (plus spec) as these cars get older & fewer though...!

I have an ED30 which I had a remap done on just because the place where I had a new exhaust fitted were doing a half price deal on remaps (which gave me 70 BHP extra). I drive it like a grandma compared to a lot of drivers I see !
It's my second car now which I am keeping as I think they will go up in value over time, just to give you perspective from the owners :)

I think many of us upgrade parts as they wear out eg brakes / suspension etc, so sensible tweaks should be something to welcome. Is quite easy to keep the car looking / sounding stock whilst also being more purposeful to drive.
very true, I got a milltek exhaust only because my exhaust was finished, then ended up getting the upgrade with the remap as part of the deal. I'm in my 40's and not interested in racing around, I just like to have that bit of power from time to time !

So 10k is a good budget.. but for what is arguably the rarest of the ed30's, I think 12 is sensible.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200923/73c547fee294488d9ffc177cb05c7fda.jpg)

Have seen another one at a garage too but going to look into options further in a few days once work has calmed down.

Ive bought a white 3dr ED30 for £9500 with 86k and 2 owners on the car.
Thanks for the offer HJJKO but ill be honest, at that sort of mileage id have been looking at around 8k but I appreciate the offer. No ED30 is worth 12k in this day and age unless its got minimal miles on it imo.

I think we can all agree that values are on the up, which is a good thing for those who have kept the faith.
Would completely agree with that. It's the main reason ive got back into one now. Whilst its not going to be worth a fortune, I feel a well kept example could be a half decent car to not loose a huge amount on.

Thanks for all the replies,Sounds like you found a good one Peter, out of interest was it a manual or dsg?
