Edition 30 Values?

[Rayhoop]

I bought mine last year and paid a fair price.  I didn't want a modified (or 'returned back to standard') so it took a while finding one in the spec I wanted.  all the cheaper ones were off the mark,  so when I did find one I was happy to pay a fair price.

Mines was 10k on 74k miles, full VWSH and nearly every optional extra - I'd say some people definitely do try & take the piss, but at the end of the day they are a special edition and will hold their value provided they've been looked after :)

^^^^^^^^^ this, guys just look at mk2 golf 8 or 16v I was after one but after most in half decent condition are 5k+ I refuse so will go the non gti. Same principle with the eddy and I own one too. Only going to go up as that's what the trade seems to be doing at this point of economy.

I recently bought my standard Tornado red Edition 20 3dr Dsg with a pioneer sat nav/dab/phone touchscreen headunit, luxury pack and convenience pack only had 2 owners the first owner had it for the majority of its life. FVWSH with stacks of papers had 72K on it and I got mine for £8400 which I thought was a good deal.

I had that itch as well, to sell and fund on an 6R, but like the mk6, the car just feels muted compared to the mk5 Ed30.
Tends to drive a few mpg more due to its weight gain, the only thing going for it is its non wheel spinning starts.

I think the mk7 GTi with PP would be a good bargain in just a few years, Same with the 7R once the first 3 years depreciation comes in making it a worthwhile jump up.

I sold my 5 Door 60k miles Steel Grey ED30 DSG minter with full FVWSH, all the big work done (new Mech unit etc) and all the options (bar RNS 510, had MFD2 instead) for £12k in November.

It was so good I had bought it off a VW dealer the previous year and I do believe it was worth that! But who knows, a car is worth whatever someone will pay for it, and I got £12k! I miss it like mad though but I had an Audi S Quattro itch that needing scratching!

You got a edition 30 and your 19???

Haha yep, sure do! Had it six months now :) Insurance was only £886 lol

Kinda find that hard to believe if its on your own insurance lol

[Morgen]

Then hard to believe it is i guess lol.. Fully comp under my own name. My mum & dad are named drivers..

[Whitexed30]

My sister is 19 has 2 years no claims and pays more than that on 1.2 fiesta lol and she lives in a good postcode with mum on insurance

I don't believe the price of your insurance either - It would be good information to share on this forum as to how it is so low , what company you are with etc .
My daughter is 25 in May - Her best quote for a ED30 with both me and my wife on Insurance and 5 yrs NCD is £600

I can believe it. When I was 18 I had a mk3 998cc fiesta with alarm and I had pass plus and that cost ~£900 TPFT and 1 years NCB with Norwich Union (AVIVA). The ex had a 1.6 MG TF after passing and driving Corsa for 6 months, no pass plus and was just under £800 fully comp all in her own name. That was before the equal insurance premium rulings and black boxes

Don't believe me if you like haha, at the end of the day I'm the one that's not having to pay out a fortune which is why I actually have an ed30 at my age haha.. I don't know why I'd lie about what I pay out? Surely I'd be saying it was more so I look like I'm loaded

I'm with Bell - they do a 3 month plug & play thing.. I've still driven the car how it should be driven though as there are no curfews and they can't put the premium up (only reduce it if I'd driven well)
Fully comp, excess is quite high.. I'm in a glasgow postcode. I also own another car (puts insurance down), have it parked on the street too which is cheaper and only cover 5k miles a year. I also put the value of the car up to 11k rather than the 10k i bought it for, that dropped my premium by a massive £200 somehow. I also insured the car in November - I bought it in August. The longer you've owned a certain car the cheaper your insurance will be on that car in specific. It's all to do with statistics etc etc.

As long as you keep your car standard as Bell don't insure modified motors ;-)
