Tried to find your car and couldn't using filters. Just noticed you've listed it as a regular GTI 198bhp. GLWS. :happy2:

BBS Pescera, red stitched steering wheel, half leather seats and door cards, 'edition 30' sill strips, 'edition 30' ally trim, remote dump valve, body coloured bumpers and skirts etc.

Nope, definitely not an Edition 30  :doh:

So this gentleman rang you just to say it wasn't an Edition 30? No other questions, or to query the listing could be wrong?  If so, what an absolute ring piece.  Market places are for trading, not for passing stupid comments to the sellers! It's the same with people commenting on price.  If you can't afford it, don't waste thread space with "You'll never get that for it".  I see it all the time in Amazon reviews as well with people commenting on how expensive stuff is, especially Apple products :grin:

Anyhooooo, if you're not in a hurry to sell it, I'm sure an amicable person with common sense will come knocking soon  :happy2:

What an absolute nugget - calling at midnight. Some people are just so inconsiderate.

Hope you get a decent buyer soon GVK...

She was a no-show  :slap:

Went to local WBAC as they gave an online valuation of £7305, BUTgot there and they said the car wasn't registered from new as an Edition 30, it does just say Golf gti on the log book - must've been a personal import.

So I have to chase DVLA to get the details changed now.  :fighting2:

DVLA said that it could take up to 4 weeks to sort out, i'm desperate to get rid of the thing now its for sale lol  :slap: :thinking:

Luckily I have letters from VW UK customer services to prove its an Edition 30.

4 weeks to print off a form, gotta love bureaucracy!

That's good then.  Would WBAC still take it with those letters and re log it themselves?

Just checked my V5 as I remember there being some similar issues with other peoples from past threads, and it does indeed say "GTI Edition 30 230", phew!
