Kane988 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) Hi There,I'm reaching the end of my ownership with my first car, beloved little lupo!I bought the car two years ago, and in absolute honesty, had no end of trouble!Its on it's arse to say the least, on coilovers!I had some of the sport alloys put on the car as soon as i bought it, not a fan of the P slots that came with it.In the first week of ownership, i had the timing belt done, and the nearly new tyres, which are still pretty good, they havent done that many miles really, maybe 6000 maximum.Its had a new cat, after failing on the emissions on the MOT. This cured part of the problem, but i then had to undergo serious engine work! The bottom end is virtually new, lamba sensor also. it then passed the MOT as some serious expense. This time around it also failed on....you guessed it, emissions! The garage who i had the work done with suggested injector cleaner, and cleaning out the throttle body. This seemed to work as a short term fix, passing the MOT! There is still an issue with the carb, but its completely useable. It starts fine, and drives fine, it just doesnt seem to find the automatic choke level it should. i was informed its nothing particularly major, and its not caused me too much of an issue so far in the winter months. Aesthetically, its not a bad car at all, it does have the usually stone chips, odd dent (bonnet) and scratch that you would expect from a car of it's age. she is low! not by choice, i bought the car like that, and simply haven't bothered "highering" her up! (apologies in advance for all the extreme dubbers for using that phrase!)The important information is as follows ;1999 T Reg96000 Miles - Not much else can go wrong!MOT expires in August 2012Tax expires in January 2012Jazz BlueSlight Issue With Idling - Carb PotentiallyPrice - Now i realise that forum rules state you must have a price.. but i am open to offers!

Revo Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Trying to understand the logic here? You got offered £1200 in part ex and have now listed it at a lower price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane988 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Haha, i can completely understand where you're coming from, they offered me £1200 as a part exchange on a newer car priced at £8499That doesnt mean they valued it at £1200, its not worth that, and i didnt want their car. i'm being as honest as possible. Karma's bite on your arse hurts, so im not wishing to rip anyone off. However, if anyone out there does want to pay £1200 please do make it known!!! Hope that's clearer?
