  7. Lupo TDI Antracite Grey For Sale - 52 Reg - £30 Tax! - ***SOLD!***

    in Cars for Sale

    Posted · Edited by rh203

    For Sale - Lupo TDI Anthracite Grey - 70,000 miles

    £2500 o.n.o

    Note: Car is recorded as damage / repaired due to a non-fault shunt in the back which bent the back bumper reinforcement beam and slightly cracked the bumper whilst I was stationery at a junction - insurer would only pay out for the cost of parts to repair the vehicle myself after frustratingly insisting on using Benfield approved repairers, who quoted £2500 for the repair! The reinforcement beam has now been completely replaced and the bumper crack can be repaired before sale (negotiable in price). Car will be fully MOT'd before sale.

    I have photos of before and after the repair and am more than happy to share to show how genuine the car is

    Those of you who have seen my car for sale prior to the bump will know that the sale is not a knee-jerk reaction from the incident but more a long-standing desire to own a mini!

    I will not accept any completely daft offers just because of the bump and would rather keep the motor and run it into the ground than lose masses of cash on an outstanding car for something that wasn't my fault...

    Spec is as follows:

    - Anthracite Grey

    - 70,000 miles - Cambelt changed @ 42,000 miles

    - 1.4 TDI

    - Alpine double DIN IPOD compatible head unit.

    - Front Fog lights (factory fitted)

    - Starlite alloys (factory fitted)

    - GTI Grey interior (factory fitted

    - New Exhaust fitted around 4 months ago.

    - Two front tyres fitted around 2 months ago.

    - Meets £30 road tax!

    - Cambridge lights (factory fitted)

    - Sports suspension (factory fitted)

    I dont think you understand how this works - if they repair it, it wont be written off, so it wont be on VCAR

    If they dont repair it, you get paid out. You can then buy the car from the insurance co (for v cheap usually) and repair it yourself. This will leave the car on VCAR, but seen as you have already been paid out for it you wont lose out upon selling

    What I don't get is that they are saying that it's not financially viable to repair yet they offer me the option of scrapping it or giving me money to REPAIR it... :s. I obviously know if they had decided to repair it then it wouldn't be recorded on the V5, but they have declared it as a total loss and given me the options above... that's the confusing part.

    if i read right, a CAT D should not show up any where and is only catergorised if the damage is over 50% of the cars value prior to crash

    "purely economically Constructed"

    don't see why there would be a problem driving in a cat D car..? and im sure the value wont get affected that much.

    well when I've been buying in the past and done searches on them, a few have come up as CAT D - that's why I'm concerned...

    Yea fully comp but it's obviously going through the third party's insurance as it wasn't my fault. I agree but at the same time I know I'd be wary of buying a CAT D anything so concerned it's just going to kill the value of the car...I think the killer has been that the back panel needs straightening (nothing wrong at all with the boot floor).

    Gutted :(

    Be careful with EBC listings for the pads. Some time ago when i bought mine, they had the 1.0 pads listed for the 1.4 tdi. Check this topic for more info http://forums.clublu...opic=47326&st=0

    Yep, done the same to me...drove back home to Durham for an hour to change them, got the caliper off and the pads look completely different... Gutted as the old ones are absolutely shagged

    How did you get hold of the correct ones (will have a read of that thread)

  22. Lupo TDI Caliper specs / question

    Hi,

    I need to change my front pads and as I used to own a GTI and changed the pads and discs on that, I was wondering if the caliper size onTDI sports was the same or different to GTI's?

    I'm also fancying changing the rears from drums to calipers...would I notice a big difference in braking performance by doing this?

    Thanks.
