Hi

up for grabs is my lovely Flash Red 02 plate Lupo GTI:

82k (will rise slowly as in daily use

5 speed (smooth as silk)

fsh (all vag maindealer bar last two) with fully stamped service book (its filled right to end now!)

2 previous owners

all original aluminium panels present and all other gti extras

everything works as it should

10 months mot (only needed a tie rod and exhaust sealing up - very slight leak)

5 months tax

has had one cambelt/waterpump change in its life

i have owned the car since approx may last year, bought it from a specialist in Birmingham

since purchase i have done the following:

replaced both door straps (common prob)

replaced the entire puncture repair kit

new battery cover (was broken)

had the entire roof resprayed under vw warranty a few months back (another common prob)

added ap coilovers

removed some old worn badges

k&n panel filter

polo 9n aero wiper on rear to match front ones

stubby aerial (reception unaffected)

in the last 1000 miles odd car has has:

genuine oil and filter

4 x toyo proxi 205/45 tyres (no skimping with 195's)

new windscreen (stonechips)

car was on 72k when i bought it and has had a major service at 74k (inc. fuel filter and new cooling pipes due to slight leak arounf head)

it's in nice condition for a 9 yr old car - no dents, all alloys are unmarked (think a previous owner has refurbed them at some point)

only small probs are:

drivers door has a few small scratches (never bothered me)

car has the common start up squeel with the starter motor (only sometimes, and always starts first turn)

boot lock has been touched in (another common vw prob)

usual stonechipping on front end

i have only one remote (new battery in it), but have the plastic master key and all documents/handbooks present

...my reason for sale - i cannot resist a mini cooper s any longer! part ex considered to value of 5k max

i'm after 4000 for the car - seems fair as paid 5.5k for it last year and have spent approx 1500+ since, and car is lower mileage than many, uses zero fluids at all and is so quiet on tickover you'd think it wasn't on! it's a brilliant little car that turns heads everywhere you go - i will miss it, and hope i'm making the right decision! its detailed regularly with high quality products, washed every week and only ever uses Shell Optimax fuel - its a really nice example of a rare car that can only go up in value - and in one of the less common colours

pictures to follow

thanks for looking

yup, still for sale - personally i always wanted to spray her white with a carbon wrap roof and mirrors..but the paint is bright and bar the stonechipping to the front, its damn good for 9yr old car - espec as the common roof gutter rust has been sorted just a few months ago by v.a.g themselves

...come and have a view guys and girls, you won't be disapointed :)

p.s had new rear pads after i bought her last yr

A friend of mine wanted one so she asked me to find her one as i have a few mates that work or BMW and they can up with a full works ever option that you could buy was on this car it ever had rev camera and i can tell you this it is no way as nice or as much fun to drive as a GTI
