andy4976 Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Evening all, Been a member of club Lupo for a number of years, owned and sold on 2 GTI's, used as a second toy in the summer only, anyhow miss the GTI, started looking again for another, found a low mileage laser blue 55 plate with 60k, current owner seems very genuine and has owned the Lupo for past 5 years, just thought I put up a post to see if anyone has any history, or maybe used to own said car, or maybe knows of this car Any help and advice much appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2ACP Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Unfortunately l don't know anything about the car.If I were looking for my second one I would be very interested in this,good Mot history,last owner 5 years,low mileage.Ones like this don't come up for sale very often,at least you can judge it on your previous two!

lupo1.0se Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) Would be cool to see some pics of laser blue gti. They are pretty rare. Especially a 55 plate. Edited May 25, 2019 by lupo1.0se Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopylove Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Just picked up this little gem today . I’ve owned two gti’s before - raven blue and red So pleased with the new our purchase Superb condition and the history with the car is like I’ve never seen before . I’ve never been given a box that includes every petrol receipt for the car definitely one to keep hold of 🤗 Edited June 18, 2019 by Loopylove 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loopylove Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 So what do you think would be a fair price for this car in your opinion? it’s 2005 55 - laser blue , 60k , 1 previous owner bodywork is 100% no rust no dink’s no dents etc Full services history Be good to know what people think about the true value of this car 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skajme Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Probably say its worth around 7 grand. Though as there are so few it's pretty difficult to compare it! You've got yourself a gem! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2ACP Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Twice a the same laser blue with about 70k came up for sale I was prepared to go to 5.5k at this point I had not owned a gti but it wasn't enough.For me your car ticks all the boxes bar a sunroof.I once read a guy driving around the busy streets of London got more attention in his blue gti than any 100k sports car.So I'm going to say 6.5k but as long as you can afford it and you enjoy it that's the main thing now,and if you were to sell any time in the future I dare say you will get all your money back.

loopydebs Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Every petrol receipt?! Having said that as a new owner of my 4th Lupo I’ve got both the receipts for my 2 lots of fuel I’ve put in it so far... She looks beautiful!

Rich Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 I'm currently hoarding my fuel receipts so I can add them up when I sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exLupo Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Apologies in resurecting an old thread. Just came across this as was curious if my old Lupo GTI was still alive. I bought this car from new in 2005, beleive it was one of the very last imported. I held on to it for 8 years but lacking a garage then to store it, I sold it in 2013. Miss it as it was a great car and is probably worth more now than when I sold it for back then. I did keep every piece of paper work, sounds like the next owner did the same. So pleased to see it still alive and looking as good as, if not even better than when I had it. Couple of photos, brand new, a few days before PDI was carried out and 8 years later just before I sold it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2 Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Before parking for long term storage, you want the engine to be roasting hot and then just before ignition off, rev and hold the RPM at 3000. Then at the moment you kill power open the throttle to flush through any exhaust gases (which contain water and acid build up), meaning clean air will be inside the engine. Helps reduce corrosion on all the internals, like valve stems, cylinder bores, piston rings and any other exposed metalwork. Also helps extend the life of the exhaust system. 👍🏻 May also help if the car is "slightly" jacked up reducing loading on suspension components such as bushings and the springs, so they deteriorate slower. It's worth flushing out brake fluid too, but depends on how many years it'll be stored without use. One of my cars (not Lupo) is in the same state, and has been stored for 15 years without starting, but i know it'll be fine as I added 2 stroke oil to the petrol before switch off, to coat all the engine internals. My only worry is the valve springs may go weak as some stay in a compressed state for long periods. But every two years I spray wd40 into the inlet while cranking it over with ignition leads and fuel pump off, then turn it 180 degrees from where it was before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
