Little John Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Due to a relative selling me a newer car than mine at a too good to turn down price, my year 2000 Green VW 1.4 petrol 3 door hatchback Lupo E Auto with only 56,650 miles is for sale at £850 o.n.o with the MOT till 15th Dec. 2017. I had intended to run it for as long as possible so I replaced the cam belt at 46,364 mls and last year, the front lambda sensor, coil pack & ht leads. I have just replaced the front discs and brake pads and 4 new tyres prior to the MOT (last December) and new silencers have just been fitted. The oil and filter has always been changed at approx every 5,000 mls and the auto gearbox oil was changed recently. Due to someone hitting the rear bumper whilst parked it was recently replaced with a complete new one. The car body is in very good condition with no rust etc and the interior is clean. I had intended to keep the car for the forseable future as it runs so well ! This is a well looked after car and has been my pride and joy! I have a complete record of work done and at what mileage since purchased on 08 02 2002 at 3,500 mls. No excessive oil is used between changes. The engine and gearbox are good. It also comes with spare oil filter, wiper blades etc. and specific VW roof bars for use with a top box and original brochure and driver manual. Air horns are also fitted. It is not subject to any H.P ! The car is in Billericay Essex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 because it is a newer car doesn't mean it is a better car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBIN POUNDER Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Little John, can I talk to you about coming to see it please ? You can either call me on 07708708778, or let me know your number and I'll call you. Wonder what that comment from Rich was intended to achieve ?

Little John Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hi Robin, I'm am sorry but the Lupo has been sold today for the asking price. The car i'd bought was 2010 model (6000 mls) with £30 tax for starters and that has got to be better! besides more mpg ! Good luck with your search.

ROBIN POUNDER Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 OK, thanks for letting me know. I wonder if the irony of the situation with regards to my interest in your car ? Robin, Little John, Archery, Lincoln Green car ( almost ) Nottingham !!! I thought it was destined to be mine............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little John Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) If you had only asked a day earlier.....I will be sad to see it go. If by any chance the sale doesn't go through I will let you know but I have taken a deposit.!

ROBIN POUNDER Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hey, that's fate. What will be will be and all that. But, if it does'nt work out, I'll be straight down there, like an arrow ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslangdon Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Only real downside with the auto is the fuel consumption, this one addresses the fuel issue but I'd guess at the loss of spare wheel space http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Lupo-AUTOMATIC-TRANSMISSION-LPG-CONVERTED-/132102554109?hash=item1ec1ed01fd:g:-ucAAOSw~AVYoYhs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I have sold my Lupo I am removing myself from the club. It has been very useful for the knowledge that I have rec'd from the members.
