Delvard Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Hi everyone new to the forum really nice how friendly everyone is. Makes a change from the usual! Can someone help me? Me and my partner Rachel are seriously considering lupo Gti but are concerned about delivery times. We're talking about this right now. Anyone give us an idea?Thanks very much style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoil Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Alright mate, not sure how longer delivery is of a new one! Wouldn't imagine it to be too long unless you want specific extras on top of a chosen colour, eg leather/sunroofside airbags etcetc! Last time I checked there were a few in the used car section of the uk vw site that had less than 100 miles on them, all under 13K! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delvard Posted August 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Thanks for that mate. I'll do a search for the site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Welcome to the forum, my advice, go ask your dealer quickly, I had been told that you couldn't get anymore, but when I booked my car in for its 10k oil change there was a new one in the showroom.

Delvard Posted August 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Well we test drove a Lupo GTI in Exeter today (we live in Plymouth but it was the nearest one we could find) and it was jusr brilliant. Rachel fell in love with the exterior straight away (I've always liked them) After the test drive I asked her what she thought. Her reply? "That was fantastic. Shall we get one in Silver?" Anyway the salesman looked on the current new UK stock list and there is precisely 2 reflex silver gtrs with aircon and 1 black gtr without. Thats it.The price for the reflex silver was £13725 and the black one £12620. We left the showroom, talked about it in the car and will place our order sometime next week. Both of us feel really pleased especially as she wanted a 2.0 Beetle. That is, until todays test drive....I'll post picks when it arrives.Thanks everyone.

Tigz™ Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 So is these the last Lupo GTi's to be produced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Welcome Delvard...So she wants Silver style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Obviously a classy lady with impeccable choice! Tis indeed the finest of colours for the Lupo.If they haven't stopped making them, they soon will, as the new Lupo is pretty much on the doorstep.I wouldn't pay £13750 for one though! `Air-Con` is a £900 option, but I'd be haggling on the price still, its only a £150 discount. LupoGTi's aren't flying out the doors, so they'll be keen to shift them, haggle hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Oh - actually, last I heard if you ordered a new one it took `4-6` months, as they are all built to order...don't quote me on that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delvard Posted August 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 You know what salesman can be like but according to him the Silver and black we could have within a week. I don't doubt that. Any other colour was available for `mid-late` December delivery. He did seem to be pretty clued up. Thanks for the buying tips! Will be looking for a deal for sure.....

Snoopy Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 As a pointer, my local VW dealer are knocking 1000 quid off the price of any new Lupo, and that's before haggling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Not the gti though! - think that offer applies to all other loops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Really? Typical VW style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 When I got mine I effectively got aircon more or less free, discount was about what it cost, maybe a hundred quid less or so.Lupo GTi or 2.0 Beetle, thats a tricky one :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisty b-road Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 hehe well said Andy style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />You should be looking at at least £600 off that price, if the salesman says no kick him in the pods and say it's from us lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyp Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 when i ordered mine it took 13 weeks to come as i wanted a red one and there wasn't any red ones in stock... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 SO when are they stopping building them?I know there is a few 1000 mile ones floating around but how many more "new" ones wil there be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delvard Posted August 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 OK after 'mucho' ringing around the best prices I've come across are....:drum roll:2005 6spd, abs, reflex silver =£119662005 reflex silver abs, air con, leather, cd player =£13560quite happy with both prices just going to think about which to go for tonight style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Mate listen, every single GTi owner I know, regrets not buying with air con and tose glorious leather heated seats.If it meens that your eating beans on toast for the next few years, then Id still say go for the leather...resale will go through the roof!

Fran Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 air con is a must i rekon - 50 went to look at a gti the other week with leather and aircon, he soooooo wants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoil Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I've got leather, they make the car feel quite a bit more classy and expensive than the `non-leather` and will make it easier to flog and for a better price when you come to sell/trade! I've removed my a/c system to loose weight from the car as I live in a baltic part of Scotland where it's never warm enough to need it!
