scottyboy Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Alright every 1, just thought I'd say hi as I have just registered.Im a 19 yr old Geordie lad who is desperate for a lupo 100bhp sport. I work at halfords at the silverlink- north shields where you had the northern meet.Ive had my vauxhall corsa since I was 17 and now have 2 yrs no claims.My mate from work has a blue 75bhp 1.4 blue, lowered on 15s, k&n, exhaust, bucket seats and harnesses, drove it around my estate and loved it!Im thinking of buying the sport its just finding 1 with low miles in my price range (£3000 - £3500)Im a bit concered about gearboxes and pedalboxes, as my mate has had both brok and fixed within the year he has owned it. Its only got 50k on the clock.Any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picola Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Check out the for sale section on here, also:http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/cars_...search_full.y=6 Noticed 2 sports, the first looking a bit silly on 17"'s. but theres 8 pages and sure there will be a few more.Insurance depends on who you are with and your credentials. The sport will raise the premium more than the lower models, obviously.Good luck in finding one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V17CKV Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 hiya, my lupo is an 03 and iv have both my pedelbox and my gearbox changed on mine i think it must be a common problem with them. The gearbox took me ages to find one as they are rare cars and are not made anymore that cost me around £500 and the pedelbox around £150 but was definaely worth it. They are fantastic cars and i love mine eveyone comments on it. Mine is my first car and it cost me £1400 on insurance fully comp thats with churchill, hope that helps and welcome to the club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cardaft Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> £10,765 for a sport, thats crazy.Have you had a quote on a 74bhp 1.4? thats 3 insurance groups lower so it should be quite a bit less.WHat engine is in your polo?

Philplop Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Yeah, it's within two years, not three. And you don't get a ban, just have to retake your tests.I would not like to be getting insurance at 18 with 6 points, 2 claims, no NCD and mods. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikyboi Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Ha, my polo is a 1.3. it will only cost me another £100 for a 1.6 but i refuse to leave the vw scene. I rly want a lupo but tryin to find 1 thats not loads of money is like doin the impossible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
