Out of interest how much do you think a trader would offer me for my Ed30? Something else has caught my eye... :ashamed:
2007 DSG, 70k miles, Steel Grey, Full VW Service History, Convenience Pack, MFSW, Highline Computer, RNS-510 DVD/Nav.
...and how much could I expect privately?
Thanks! :happy2:
-
Private Sale 10k maybe 10.5, trade in probably 9 to 9.5k depends on how much they want your business and also if they know how much ED30 values have dropped in last 12 months!.
-
I was chasing an ed 30 and thought I found the right one.
It was:
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3533124.htm
He sold it to a dealer for 11,700 in the end. I had offered him 11,600
The dealer now has it up for 15,695
Dealers are not called stealers for nothing ;)
If you've got the time try selling privately.
-
I Think you will genuinely be shcoked at trade money offers you may get.
My future in law has been offered only £6k for his 07 leon FR with 38k on, with BTCC kit against a £29k new scirocco dsg GT :fighting:
So its now sat on my drive for the mrs :signLOL:
-
Thanks but gee I didn't realise it would be that low... paid 13k for it just over a year ago! :(
I would try selling privately but I'd need the cash from the sale of it to pay for something else and can't really be without a car for too long...
-
Someone was saying on another post about ED30 prices so I did a quick 20 min check on both ebay and autotrader and prices for 07 platers with 80K miles started at 8495 going upto 13K for 20,000 mile fully loaded 08 plates, I was ignoring the stealer prices of £15K, they should be :ashamed:
Stealers are happy to buy and sit on them for 6 months in the hope of making 3.5K :surprised:.
I was looking at another Candy white 08 plate (3dr) with DSG otherwise pretty basic and it went for 10650 at BCA auction (1 owner car with 32K FSH), that very car was bought by a stealer who promptly put it on his forecourt for £15995 :surprised:
For Candy White add another £500 to £1000 (depending on seller) and for pistonheads and forum sales add another £500 :signLOL:
I paid 11.5K for my candy white ED30 39K FVWSH, fully loaded except for Bluetooth, folding mirrors and Cruise control (This was retro-fitted for £90), I then allowed another £500 to spend on it to get it upto scratch.
When I first started looking early last year they were going for around £15K, by the time I had saved all the money for buying one they had come down about 2.5K :happy2:
-
lol that sounds like just my luck, to buy last year before they dropped in price!
I had a quick look on eBay etc too and I reckon I could get maybe £11-12k privately but I don't hold much hope of a price I'd be happy with from a dealer... That one for £8.5k on eBay was a CAT B.
To be honest I thought they'd hold their value better. I had my Mk4 Anniversary for 2 years and in that time lost £2k on it and that was with trading it in!

Sorry should have added that all the prices I quoted were from 2 weeks ago and none of them were cat B/C/D cars I ignored all of them from my search, all were straight original cars.
It would be nice to think you get 11-12K for an 07 plate as I think its worth it, guess that would make mine worth 13-14K :happy2:
Current ones Auto trader........none of them cat B/C/D
57 plate manual 87K FSH Black 8695
07 plate black 8950
07 plate black 8989
07 plate silver 41K FSH 10700 (Seller says its number 988 from 1500, AHEM I think he means 2300!!)
07 plate Red 54K FSH 10700
07 plate Steel grey DSG 32K FSH 12995 (Dealer)

Ah thanks, although it's made me even more sad about how much they've come down in price! This has foiled my plan somewhat as to getting a different car!
I guess a car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it but a lot of the time it's much less hassle just to part exchange...
...definitely will be taking off all mods before I do sell to recoup some money there!

There will be someone who wants a Steel Grey (nice colour) DSG car and will pay for it, removing mods before sales is a good way to get money back as Moddded cars dont seem to sell for any more than std?

I traded in my 07 ED30 manual with 60k a few weeks ago, most dealers were offering £7.5k and the best i managed was £8k - totally mint, just had major service (inc cambelt) so no money needed to be spent on it

Wow, Wish id known you were going to do that, i'd have paid well over that!!!!
Im off to post in the wanted section in case anyone else is letting their ED30 go for peanuts:)

Well thats a disgusting price you were given ! What did you buy to replace the ED30 and how much did you pay ?
My ED30 is an 07 with 19k and i wouldn't let it go for under £12k (private) , it is the best all round car i have ever had and cannot think what i would replace it with for less than £20k so hence i haven't got rid of it . Now if an Audi S4 Avant 2010 came up i might be tempted but they are a bit more than 20 !

You'd have been very happy with that car - i spent 2 days with the DA getting all swirls, etc out so it looked mint (few tiny stonechips on bonnet) - wish i'd kept it now :confused:

traded it in for a new Astra for economy, Astra was up at £9k which was cheap so not a huge mark up on that.
Kept the Astra 4 weeks as it was awful - 31mpg, crappy electronic handbrake, rattles, no power whatsoever and so dull to look at - traded that for a Fiesta Zetec S :rolleye:
-
I sold my edition 30 to a dealer (gti world edinburgh) easiest deal i have ever done got £800 less than i had it advertised for
It was a 57 plate 42k and needed the belt done. so was happy with the deal and didnt need to buy any thing from them
they just transfered the coin same day, they are all ways looking for good stock.
-
[Robby}You seen it for sale at a traders yet? actually it's probably best not to look :surprised:
-
Yes he sold it within a week he had it up for £12981 the joys of being able to offer finance
-
Yiup as said in one of earlier posts dont look!, trader bought candy ED30 for 10650 at BCA auctions and put it on his forecourt for £15995 :sick: , I was there out of curosity as I was going for it before I found mine, last time I bought a Car at BCA I got my girlfriend (who worked for BCA) to look up and tell me the sales prices for the last 25 they sold, she printed me a list and I went armed with that :happy2:
-

That would be keighley car centre then, he always has odd pricing, makes him stand out against all the 12895ers i guess.

Wouldnt have thought keighley trade centre would have bought it, they dont buy genuine cars only sheds then try and fob you off when you have questions, would never buy a car from them, i live local and some of the stories :signLOL:

I went there to look at an Ed30, (it was a Nail) and they came across all wrong, I heard the stories, went with open mind and saw it myself, enuff said.
I am sure they sell some good cars, but we onyl hear about the bad ones!
Cargiant in London are just as bad, they lied about an Ed30 to get me down there, was not as advertised, I made an offer on it at £750 less than sticker price, they point blank refused to budge even £100, I walked away, made me laugh tho when 3 months later it was advertised for £1500 less :booty:
-
I just bought my ed 30 on Sunday. 41000 miles, full VW service history, new discs and pads, over £1000 in August on new flywheel clutch and release bearing. Absolutely mint, highline, mfsw etc.
£10200.
Oh, and its been mapped as well.

Good price mate, sounds like a good un, 07 plate by any chance?

I had seen a few 07 on Autotrader and wondered if it was one of them, good discount there, skills :happy2:, goes to show that values have dropped somewhat :laugh:
-

Well they told me their sales manager would run it a while as he likes them, the following week it was up at £9500 and sold within a couple of days

Bought my ED30 a month ago privately. 5 door, red, 39k, 07, full VWSH, just out of warranty (which I have renewed), cambelt done. Thought I got a good deal - £10,300. Bought it knowing that it needed DSG service - done (£160), 2 new tyres - done (£260), and brakes all round - to be done (£300). So, all in all it has cost me approx £11k which I didn't think is bad :wink:
Very good car :driver:

Bargain, where was it advertised?

Might have to sell my beloved Eddie soon......Reflex Silver, 5 door, DSG, 56k miles, full VWSH Inc DSG, cambelt and water pump :sad1:
Not 100% yet but will be looking for around £11k as the car will want for nothing and would have been recently serviced and have good tyres all round.....in excellent order apart from the usual stone chips as I'm very careful where I park (yes I'm the guy that parks at the other end of Sainsbury's car park to avoid the car park dents and I don't do curbs!!) as well as regular detailing.
Watch this space!!

Oh......it's an 07 and the private ED30 number plate would be included as goes nice with the car :happy2:

Whilst I appreciate the OP was after a guide as to what to expect, when I was in the motor trade we had a great expression....

Its a bit depressing that ED30 prices seem to have fallen. There's a lot of owners out there who think they are worth a couple of grand more than they actually are.
Having purchased mine, hopefully the prices will rise as people realise what a great version of the GTi they are.. :innocent:
-
To be fair it's not just Edition 30s that are falling in price - I think that it's pretty much all cars (and performance cars in particular) that are suffering.
In January 2011 I put my Z4 Coupe up for sale for £15k ono and I ended up accepting £12.5k for it in January 2012 from a private buyer.

Hit the nail on the head there, I think most people who say "would not let my ED30 go for less than £12.5K" will be owning that car for some time to come! , altho on the plus side of falling values its great to see them being bought and used rather than sitting on forecourts or peoples drives with stupid prices stuck to the screen :happy2:

ive purposely avoided checking out the current trade in prices of Ed30's, instead of the depression it will inevitably bring, i just appreciate what a great car the Ed30 is, how much i love it, increases my desire to keep her in tip top condition... it fills me with that warm fuzzy feeling!! :laugh:
if i you are worried about resale values, buy gold bullion instead :happy2:
just my 2 pence

It's worth remembering that the current depreciation rate on ED30's is relatively low, especially when compared to depreciation in the 3-4 years from new! I also think that the ED30 will always be desirable long term due to its rarity so this should help prop values up. Depreciation is always inevitable but I think the depreciation rates on ED30's will be nowhere near as bad as most other cars.... :happy2:

Oh I dont know, they seem to have dropped about £2000 in the last 9 months, some of that will be natural depreciation, the rest is just the economy.
