1999 Lupo 1.7 E SDi

16 March, 201115 yr

Volkswagen Lupo 1.7 E SDi finished in Soft Blue with contrasting grey/blue interior

Nearly 128,000 miles, although this will rise as I use it daily.

11 months MOT and 5 months road tax.

All previous MOT's and many service receipts.

Original VW owners manual.

Cambelt fitted November 2010.

Gearbox bearings and new clutch fitted February 2011.

I have just fitted a new battery and air filter and have thoroughly cleaned the air box, inlet manifold and air box trumpets.

I have also fitted a Gamma radio cassette unit as I planned to add some rear speakers.

I have been getting 58-62 MPG, mainly motorways, going to and from work in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. However, there are now 4 of us travelling in the Lupo and I feel it struggles a little with 4 men and only a normally aspirated engine.

There are a few points to note:

There are some stone chips and a couple of very small/light dinks on the body. It has had a new driver's side lock at some point in it's life and has a different key for this. The other key fits all the other locks and ignition.

It is missing the 2 rear plastic seat belt covers and the driver's side lower door card is black and not dark grey, so does not match the rest of the interior plastics. Also, the gear stick gaitor base surround is missing. I have bought one from another forum and hope to have it shortly.

There are no other issues with the car and everything works and performs as it should.

I am looking for £1250 or £1500 with the private plate included. The Lupo is located in Billingham, in the North East. I can pick a potential buyer up from my local train/bus station or airport.

I will swap/PX for something a little larger (big enough for 4 passengers) and a more powerful engine, whether that be a diesel or petrol. As long as it doesn't drink fuel at an alarming rate.

It is probably better to contact me on freakyeke@hotmail.com as I will be able to reply sooner.
