Golf GTI Edition 35

[frozze]

My buddy's Ed35 with my Jetta next to it!

Mine is manual, wouldn't have it any other way. Also my legs are strong enough to drive it in traffic so there!

Damn $58k is expensive.... i paid $55 for a well optioned R.

went to gold coast vw today, they have a red ed35 with all the toys rrp 58k

Having seen one of these at the Altona Beach meet, and a MK4 golf with 25 Anniversary wheels in tow, it really is a suitable nod to the past and having discounted it before I saw one in person I can safely say I'm now a fan

I'm not seeing the attraction in them at that price.

50k for my R, with a few options.

Maybe it's time to budge

Maybe it is - in Germany all the DSG ones would be left over

agree. ED35 won't be collectable in a way a Ferrari 275 GTB 4 Cam is......

If anything, depreciation is more and in 3-4 years be worth little more than a normal GTI of the same age and yet pay lots more $$$$ now (as no corporate discount)

Me neither - too expensive. They do look nice in person but they should only be a few thousand $ more than a "normal" GTI.

Agreed. It will be like the MK5 GTi Pirelli edition vs the normal GTi. They are only a few $k more 2nd hand (in fact there was a neat Pirelli in Newcastle about a year ago for $28,990 with 40k on the clock) but there was a considerable difference in price when new.

But the R and Pirelli don't pull like a 35...

[Finance_Analyst]

I bet they were "paid" to stand there......

I looked over the fence at Lennock in Canberra yesterday, saw a Candy White 5 door ED 35 sitting there for anyone looking for one. I bought my R from there, they are pretty good blokes, Cal Bruton is the man.

Took me a few seconds to figure out what the 35 was from side on. The rims caught my attention first, is it just me or do the rims look like a Ford design?

[SilvrFoxX]

yeah i thought they looked a bit XR5ish as well

Yep, they do look quite similar to XR5.

[SilvrFoxX]

The ED 35 still pulls..

Hang on, is this the same cal bruton, the former nbl basketball player?
