Rust is one of its biggest enemies.

@Will Cheyneyyour GTI is starting to play up - best sell it to me! -
Still asking silly money for it.

Worth keeping an eye on Collecting Cars. There was a 2 owner GTI (2005) with 35K on it which sold in the last couple of weeks. They seem to list one every few months. The auction runs for 7 days.

Welcome and nice to see an Anthracite GTI. Keep us posted with regard to any work you do on it.
-
I am pretty sure you are spot on. Unfortunately I gave away my Lupo brochures and price lists when I sold my last GTI a few years back.
-
Well after alll this time I didn't realise nav was a factory option. I have never seen it on another Lupo GTI. Every day is a school day as they say 😁
-
Agreed. I feel it's overpriced. Yes it's Raven but at 139K miles many irreplaceable parts are going to be tired.
-
Yep I agree although I am not keen on the non standard roof aerial and I am not sure the Eagle F1 tyres are the correct size. The hunt continues.
-
Raven Blue, 139K miles, £6,200?
-
Good on you for tracking it down and getting some decent pictures. The ask of £8,995 is an absolute joke.
-
You make a very good point about bang for your buck. I had a Lotus Europa twin cam back in 1983. Only kept it for 6 months as it wasn't all it was cracked up to be in my opinion. Lupo GTI's on the other hand are superb.

Prices of low mileage mint Lupo GTI's have been pretty consistent for the last 9 or so years at about £7K. I bought my first 05 plate GTI in October 2012 as a VW Approved Used car for £6,800. It was a 2 owner car with 35K on the clock. Sold that in February 2014 and after 6 months had the itch again so bought my second one £6,750 which again was a 2 owner car but with 18K on the clock. Sold that in January 2016 and yep towards the end of that year I decided I needed another. Bought my third GTI in January 2017. It had quite a few owners and 45K on the clock and I paid £5,800. Sold that in May 2018 and have over the last 12 months been on the lookout for a stock, low mileage Laser or Raven Blue GTI, however nothing yet

Welcome to ClubLupo. How recently have you owned your 2 sub 70K miler's? I look almost daily and I can't remember seeing a UK car with under 70K miles at a realistic price some time.
