Hello folks, I've finally found a nice priced edition 30 that I've put a deposit down on, so I'm off down the country on wednesday to pick it up. I was just wondering if there was anything I need to be looking out for on a mk5? I've had my mk4 for 5 years now, but am not familiar with the mk5s.
Also which company is best to go to for remaps, I've had revo before, so tempted to go back to them?
And secondly, which is the best rcd 510 to go for, as there seems to be so many different types out there?
Thanks in advance for any replies :happy2:
-
welcome to the forum..is it a dsg or manual your going for..the remap is personnal choice really,if you was happy with revo and you know the garage then stick with them..some other member will advise you better than me with a ed30 what else to look out for
-
Any info on which one you went for in the end?
Turns out the one i was about 3 seconds away, from putting a deposit down on was sold yesterday :sick:
-
08 plate £13,495, black, manual, 26,000miles. only extra is cruise control. Its Hpi clear, cheap as chips!
-
wow wer did u find that so cheap???
-
Smart one!!! sounds brilliant!
-
I found it by scouring pistonheads, ebay and autotrader every few hours for months :laugh:
Might not be that brilliant! havent seen it in the flesh yet, first time I see it will be when I turn up with the cash! seems of, sounds like it might have been a repossession, so they just want what it is owed to them, finance is cleared and isnt a cat- d, so hopefully it will be ok.
-
Christ that is cheap
-
Be very carefull .I would have it thoroughly inspected it could be the best £200 ever spent .
If its to good to be true and all that
-
Sounds too cheap to be true that - bargain if so ! :surprised:
-
:surprised: Staggered by that price..... :surprised:
If that's got nothing but some minor chips, scratches, kerbing, etc., that's an absolute bargain.
Also, if you are interested in the Edition 30 Milltek exhaust system with custom black pipes, check out the link for a possible GB:

They're getting the stone chips sorted this weekend, and refurbing the kerbed alloys for me aswell :jumpmove:
I would have got the exhaust, but I've promised myself this time I'm sticking to a remap and a headunit!
I've spent about £10,000 in bits on my mk4, and will be lucky to get £6000 for the car as it stands.
See how I go with resisting to mod it too much :scared:

I think you should go for the Milltek if you are getting the remap, gets it readyf or further BHP then! :happy2:
-
So you managed to get almost £3000 off the asking price!!! :jumping:
Did the salesman chuck in the shirt he was wearing? :wink:
Top haggling...that's the way to do it.

It was too good to be true.....................
5hr journey to find its had the full passenger side resprayed BADLY. I could have sprayed better than that, and I'm not a spray painter! there was ever a glob of laquer dripping off the fender, and it was a rental car not a lease car, registered to easirent, how easy would that be to sell on!
Oh well, back on the hunt for an edition 30 again...............................
-
Bad luck there fella, things that look to good to be true, generally are..............I would have got the seller to cough up some readies for fuel and your wasted time...........cheeky b'std!
-
11 hour round trip, I was well pleased...........
-
Was that at a vw dealership??
-
no mate, place called penfold fleet in liverpool, but when you get there its actually carred easi-rent!
car is on autotrader
-
I saw that last week - I remember thinking...Bargain! But it had 'sold - deposit taken' when I clicked on the advert.
Sucks man, sorry to hear about that wasted journey - so you mean it was rented out to all and sundry being a rental car? Was it a CAT D or anything?
-
wasnt a cat-d, but somehow they had no idea of how and when it was painted!
yep, it was my deposit, of which they decided not to charge to my card!
