I have decided to withdraw the sale and keep the Lupo for another year or two.

I will try ebay first, if no sale then touch it up in the spring and try again.

Church Stretton, Shropshire ( south of Shrewsbury).

Just tried the aircon and it switches on with no problem.

My car from new with no modifications. Service history. From new VW fitted: air con (never switched on), sun-roof, removable tow bar used to pull a small camping trailer. New precautionary cambelt fitted around 80,000 miles. Never had any problems and still runs well. Bodywork has the usual small bumps and scrapes. MOT to October. Garaged for most of its life. Sorry no shinny gleam - car polish is not my thing. The electric wing mirrors, although working ok, have been bashed about a bit, but I do have have two replacements to go with the sale. No previous owners. Price £2500 ONO.

Tomorrow I will start a new for sale thread with asking price of £2000.

Ooops got my 2 replaced by 3 - I meant £2000

I have a 1.4TDi 2004, Anthracite Grey, 89000 miles, owned it from new. Garaged most of the time. All original including vw sunroof and air con (never switched on). I was not planning to sell until late next year, however if someone offered near to £3000 I may be tempted.

Thinking about it they would trap water. I will just remove the rust followed re-paint and leave it at that. Thanks.

I've watched the video - think I shall let mine rust - with pride

Ebay is selling Wheel arch trims for all Lupos. Complete set of four for about £60-00. They simply clip onto existing arch trim, no drilling. Has anyone fitted them? My rear arch trims are begging to rust. I shall remove the rust and paint over but was wondering was it worth fitting these trims. They are matt black which happens to be similar to my Lupo colour.

My 2004 Lupo TDi 1.4, Anthracite Grey with 81, 000 miles. Price: £2800 ono. It has a small dent and paint marks, else I would ask £3000. See pictures for dent on the front wing and scuff/paint marks/scratches. Location Shropshire. I have had this great little car from new. It has extras: Sunroof, AirCon, Towbar (fitted by VW), only used occasionally to tow a small trailer for camping. It has a service history, Mot until November this year. Engine: Never had a problem. New cambelt (precaution) fitted last year. It has always been garaged, reversed into - that accounts for the scrapes you see on both wing mirrors.

The wife is adamant the car has to stay but I'm over 65, tall with back problems and the fiat Qubo is back friendly especially on long journeys even though the Lupo seat is more comfortable. I am surprised to hear it may fetch as much as £3k. Ha - no need to regret not having air con - the wife has never switched hers on
