Which Lupo or...??

Hi All,

I've been looking for another smaller VW and came across the Lupo! There are two for sale in my area, a 2000 1.4 16v S that has 89k miles with this done on the car:

VW Lupo 3 doors, 4 seats in good bodywork and interior 
Model 75 HP (55Kw) 5 fiscal CV (very good engine 4 cylinders and 16 valves).. 
Technical control OK 
4 new tires 
bills in 2015: Kit distribution and pump water 
complete clutch 
Thermostat 
2016: complete exhaust system 
revision (oil and filters) made 
in all € 2,600 maintenance bills; for sale need bigger.

or a 2001 TDI with 80k miles with this done:

Sells Volkswagen Lupo TDI 75 hp. 
Car in good condition. 
Options: 
- Power steering 
- Air conditioning 
- Power windows . Revision made . CT ok . Price negotiable Please feel free to contact me for more information.

 

My concern is the gearbox/pedalbox failures that I've been reading about! Are all Lupo's susceptible to potential gearbox/pedalbox failure? Both are around the same price = 2,200 euros....the 1.4 is more appalling in that a lot of work has been done on the car and both cars look great...in the pic's. I have yet to see them in person...

Any suggestions or help especially with the gearbox/pedalbox issues???

Thanks

Out of those two I'd go for the TDI (lower mileage, better fuel economy, cheaper and aircon).

No need to worry about the pedalbox as the steering wheel is on the left in France. Go try both and see if the gearbox is good or not on both... Surely you can do some work with the 400€ difference between them both.

Wouldn't touch a 1.4 16v. Worst Lupo made.

1.4Tdi, arguably the best and most desirable Lupo (after a GTI of course). Take the TDI. Retrofit Cruise Control, a boot light, and some nice OEM+ extras and you'll have a car not only worth good money but that you'll actually want to keep ;)
