Hi Everyone, just looking for a bit of advice please. I have a 2003 03 plate Lupo Gti in reflex silver. About 80k miles and full service history and a ton of receipts and paperwork. Its in good but not immaculate condition but is currently SORN as the engine needs some work doing to it after the water pump bearings went. I'd not long before spend £900 on a major service, new cam belt and adjuster and new front tyres, but unbeknown to me they didn't replace the water pump and sods law it failed a few weeks later. I don't currently have the finances to get it fixed so was looking to sell the car to someone who might want to buy it as a repair. I've been quoted approximately £850 to get it fully repaired and the car cost me £4000 in August 2014.
It needs a new water pump, head gasket and the valves need doing. It has a new cam belt but it needs adjusting as isn't under tension.
Both windows are a bit slow but operate fine and it has no other mechanical defects other than the rear windscreen wiper sometimes doesn't turn off when you pull the stalk back so it seems to be the switch as the stalk is also relatively new. Other than that its absolutely fine and i'd never had a problem with it.
its got very few marks on it but it has a minor scuff on the rear wheel arch and a few scratches on the bottom of the front bumper where a particularly nasty speed bump got the better of me.
Can you guys give me a ball park figure of what I might expect to get for it?
Many Thanks, Brendan
