martin50 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 HI to you all I am selling my other half's Lupo, we have owned the car for over 6 years. It's a 2002 1lt E in red,It's got full sevice history (just had the lubrication service) and has only done 43000 miles, the cambelt waterpump front discs and pads and brake fluid were changed last year.I restore old cars for a hobby so the car is in fantastic condition the only thing I can find is a few stone chips on the bonnet.My question is how much do you think I should advertise it for I have been looking through the for sale adds and they seem to be fetching a lot of money second hand.This is without doubt the best small car I have owned the only reason for the sale is because my wife now wants a polo.Thanks for the advice in advance.Regards, Martin.

Naif Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) Pics would help considerably!You could get around 3k if it's mint?EDIT: Sorry I meant 3 not 4 :/ Edited May 18, 2009 by Naif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Looking at Parkers I think I would put it up for about £2500 and make a big thing of the low miles and condition etc. and expect to drop to £2000 minimum.Not sure what the market is doing just now thoughAutotrader brings up02 36,400 £215052 44,000 £249002 41,000 £2550So maybe you could go a bit higher.Not sure if my search results will work for you, but here.Lupo 1.0E upto 7 years with less than 60K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliveski Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 £4k is way too much . . . £2k is more realistic - maybe just under? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Id probably stick that up for £2300-£2350 and see how it goes, its not really worth much more than that. For £4K you could no doubt get an 04/54 plate 1.0! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin50 Posted May 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Id probably stick that up for £2300-£2350 and see how it goes, its not really worth much more than that. For £4K you could no doubt get an 04/54 plate 1.0!I was thinking of about £2500 so I might try and advertise it a bit higher then come down.It's amazing how these small cars are holding their price, I think she wants to get the 1200cc Polo we tried the Fox but I felt it was one of the most uncomfortable cars I have ever driven but I suppose the price reflects this, the Polo seemed to be about the size of the MK1 golf I had.

cardaft Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 The 1.2 Polo is a good little car, quite a nice engine too, if you get the 65/70bhp its quite nippy. Early models had big problems with the timing chain slipping/snapping, but i think they have that sorted out now. Yep, you can always come down on price, but you can never increase it Pistonheads and autotrader are the best places to advertise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
