Lupo GTi, 1.6 16v, 5 speed manual, Black.
111k miles. 4 owners from new.
2 keys, lots of service history.
MOT until December 2016. (No advisories).
No tax under new laws.
Lots of work done since I have owned it,
Clutch in August @ 99k (at VW specialist),
Drop links done for MOT @ 104k,
4 new nankangs tyres @ 103k,
Front swing arms, ball joints and bushes @95k,
Full service including plugs, leads, air filter, fuel filter, oil and filter change @ 102k
Lots of small bits including new window switches, door lock mechanism, check straps, new replacement GTI badges and more.
(I have most of the receipts for the work I have had carried out).
Cam Belt in 2013 @ 85k miles.
This is a very nippy little car being a 1.6 and has been very reliable in the year I have owned it. It's not been lowered or modified as far as i can tell it's completely standard.
Only small faults are with the body work
- odd mark here and there
- tiny amount of aluminium bubbling on the drivers gutter on the roof (barely noticeable hasn't got any worse in the time I've owned the car)-small mark on rear bumper
- also there is a small stain on the rear carpet but is hidden by the mat, it's never bothered me so I have left it
I am being very picky by saying these faults as I wouldn't want someone to be disappointed it's obviously not a new car but these small small issues can obviously be sorted or just as easily left alone! Don't let these few things put you off an (almost) mint car for the age!
Viewing welcome.
Price is £2800. Ovno.
It probably sounds cliché but I will be sad to see this car go! I have just completed a 1000mile round trip over the past few days and it didn't miss a beat and returned roughly 39mpg.
Questions welcome if I have forgotten anything.

But what about the noise when I pull away, i did the brake change about 3months ago and have been perfect up until now? It's a similar noise to the rear suspension squeaking but a lot louder coming from the front

Hi there I've owned my Lupo GTi for about 10months now, I replaced the discs and pads all the way round a while a go now and today the car has started to make a horrible noise when I pull away, sort of sounds like the brakes when you press them at low speeds... It's not a squeak it's more of a judder? So I jacked it up and tried spinning the front wheels (not in gear with the engine running) and the wheels span about 1/4 turn then stopped them self is this normal ?! I'm a boat mechanic not a car mechanic so excuse me if I'm not 100% clear.
Any help much appreciated cheers

VW Lupo GTI - 99k miles- FSH
£2,995.00
Andrew - 07557057522Lupo GTI
1 of less than 900 left
Black 5 speed
99000 miles
Full service history
MOT December 2015
(Only advisory not taken care of is rear discs pitted)
Since owning I have spent over £700
(Front discs and pads, service, front suspension bushes, arms and ball joints, door lock mechanism, electric window switches, 3 tyres and probably more)
Car has some small faults :
Passenger door squeaks
Small crack in rear bumper (pictured)
Scuff on front bumper (pictured)
Stain on rear carpet
Paintwork not immaculate
Overall it's a very good nippy car that's never let me down and always put a smile on my face but I need a diesel for work as I'm now doing a lot more miles.
Only modification is a "back box delete" which makes the exhaust a bit louder, I like it but I have purchased a good second hand replacement back box to go with the car if you want to change it back.
It won't come with the double din head unit as pictures it will have the standard Volkswagen unit.
I thought I had sold the car but now I'm re listing due to a time waster.
Serious buyers only.
Sad to see this car go but it needs an owner who isn't going to do so many miles.
£2,995.00

Hi I have owned this car for just over two months now and I can't fault it its a great car!- nippy, sticks to the road, responsive... But I need something bigger, as much as I love small VWs.
It's done 94k miles, it's got MOT till December, it's completely standard apart from a backbox delete so the exhaust is a bit louder (sounds good). Body work and paint is good condition apart from a scuff on the front bumper. Interior is good for the age and I've got stacks of history for it.
The top end was rebuilt 10-12k miles ago with new valve seats, valves, head gasket, timing belts etc. (So engine drives spot on, gearbox is good too! (This is the 5 speed model).
Since owning it I've replaced both drivers side window switches, drivers door lock mechanism, front pads and discs, oil and filter change, air filter, got the tracking done and spent a lot of time polishing the car.
All in all it is a great car but I do need something bigger for work and sadly can't afford to run two cars at the moment.
Car is fully hpi and accident clear etc. I am looking for £3200 for the car and it is located in Torquay (South Devon).
Feel free to message me for any questions you have about the car, cheers.
