Tigz™ Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 He sold it to the garage for £8kThe garage sold it for £7k in one day.That is a bargin.Someone needs to buy it, it was the cleanest GTI on the forum.It had new wheel bearings.Back wheel looks bent.

LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 My old car.Bought brand new by me and then had £13,000 spent on it during the 5 years that I owned it.Full VW service history, had cambelts (both) changed 3 times in first 80,000 miles, 1 off engine work, 1 off wheels, 1 off top grade leather, coilies, G60 brakes, re-bushed, Bose components, Alpine headunit, amp and sub and so much more it would take forever to list.Was mint when I owned it (received at trophey at E38 a few years ago and has been on their stage twice). Totally gutted I sold it, and as I mentioned on another thread the Elise is just not doing it for me.I feer it may be a little worse for wear now though, I hear that it has not been that well cared for since I sold it and may potentially have a few bills lurking in the near future. Never had a clutch while I had it and with 167bhp it may be struggling now and the rear wheel look at a funny angle (posative camber?) so maybe a curb strike.Would love it to return to the club and be cared for once again.

Nicki Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Great minds think alike.Darren - you know it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I would lose too much money on the Elise with having bought it new and already modified it a little.I regret selling the Lupo so much, no other car has served me so well, 5 years, 80,000 miles miles and never any grief from it. Would love to do it all over agin on a last of the line silver or grey Gti but this time go a ittle bit further.I do want the black one to live a happy life again though.

penry Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Would be such a shame if this wasnt cared for really, seeing as it is a fantastic example. Hope whoever bought it hasnt been a dick with it and it's still going strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I wish I had the cash, I'd buy it myself. Those wheels are a grand, the retrim, the engine cost £5000 not to mention all the small mods, as far as i know its still the only Lupo with a TT foot rest. Absolute bargin!

Dom's dub GTI Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 tt foot rest? tbh the stereo equipment has all gone and it does look abit abused but im sure with abit of tlc it can look gorgeous once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicki Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Get an insurance quote before buying though as its heavily modified and therefore will be a fair bit more to insure than a standard GTI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
