EnglandSoul Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Ok so im in a bit of a dilemma my gearbox has gone on my lupo gti and been quoted £1000 for all the parts and labour etc, now im wondering do i spend the grand to get it fixed or am i better off selling or breaking the car instead. so my question is how much would my car be worth without a gearbox? specs: White 2004 73k miles 12 months mot ( done earlier this month no advisors) lowered on coilovers cambridge rear lights double din stereo full leather interior priv plate L66 UPO cade eros wheels 7j near new tyres all round uni royal rainsport 3 audi tt knee bars powerflow mid section scorpion exhaust. Probably other things ive missed but roughly what price could i get for it? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Nice. (apart from all the flowers) What's up with the gearbox? No idea on price but you'd probably do better to get it fixed with a second hand box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 That's a real nice car. Just get a box mate. Don't sell it blown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickster Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Damn isn't that quite low mileage for a GTI gearbox to go?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickster Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Was it you that sold your other white one for this one cos it was much lower mileage? If so I feel sorry for you man! On the plus side they look so freaking nice in white, I'm glad you are getting it fixed as I'm sure you'd regret selling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
