I already checked it on the MOT check site and it seems like a good car

Cheers bud. Its up for sale with a dealer on Autotrader down my way and I am a bit tempted as my car is seriously getting me down. Over priced though I think. Pretty standard, not a lot of options, 4 dr, 87000m £9450. Obviously not gonna pay that.

Yeah 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.

That dealer does 'sale or return', so I wouldn't be surprised if they are selling on someone's behalf. It would ring a few alarm bells if it were me, from what you are saying about 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...

Come and buy my Pirelli edition mate for 2.5k cheaper with 100k on it and a recent rebuild

That car is way overpriced

[Craig Stanley]

I agree. Just driving myself mad at the moment.  My cars great now it's had a load of cash spent on it in the last year on many different faults but I sort of resent it and just feel I'm waiting for the next thing to go wrong with it all the time. Bit of my glass is half empty type of bloke

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!

[Craig Stanley]

Just to update. I was tempted in the end and looked into this car. Apparently the reason why my mate couldn't find the history is because its a German issue. I found this out by messaging VW uk for the build number and they couldn't find it either until I gave them the VIN. Attached is what they sent me.
