steve200 Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) How many of you have owned your Lupo over 10 years now, and still have no plans to sell it? Ive owned my Raven Blue GTI for 13 years this year. Rarely gets used due to being on the small side for the family 😂 but can’t bring myself to sell it. It goes for its MOT every year and I service it myself and then tucked away in a carpeted garage. Think it’s only seen rain 3 or 4 times in my ownership, I know that’s a bit of a waste and it’s made to be driven etc. I will try my best to get some driving time in this summer (hopefully) Edited March 23, 2021 by steve200 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 I've owned three Lupos for a combined total of 131k miles and around 10 years of Lupo involvement. I shouldn't have sold my SDI but there we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't have sold my SDI but there we go. I think that’s one of the main reasons for me not selling mine. I think I would end up regretting it. Then end up buying again Edited March 24, 2021 by steve200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Seven ? For this one but I've had one pretty much since 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslangdon Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 About 10 years, but by accident really as my son asked me to look for one for him, bought a 1 litre in red, then another in black, then a 1.4 16v, then a Sport, all ok but didn't impress that much until I tried a TDI, also bought a SDI, slow, pish poor compared to the TDI. Only car I haven't had is a GTI, my Arosa TDI is a keeper though, 175,000 miles, mapped, black roof, black headlining, sport seats, lowered but not ridiculous, 60 mpg, £30 tax, what's not to love, cheaper than shoe leather 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Loop Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 SDi since 2003. (It was in the family since late 2000) GTi since 2015. No plans to sell either of them... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stator Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 8 years or so, but rust is becoming a major issue, starting to worry about MOTs being viable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashLupo Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Have owned my flash red GTI since Decmber 2001. Its part of the family now and it has grown as family/life has also grown! Cant sell it as ill probably regret it, gets very little use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickster Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 I learnt to drive a bit late and have had a GTI ever since ~ 8 years, albeit I'm on the second one as the first was taken out by a bus. It was MOT day today and just needed a CV joint boot, generally they've both been trouble free driving although I've had to replace 2/2 alternators! Now on a smidge over 102,000 miles meaning I did barely 2000 since the last MOT and to be honest I'm quite happy to keep the mileage down. I intend to always have one and it puts a smile on my face every time I have a chance to put my foot down 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
