EDIT/UPDATED:

2000 1.4 VW Lupo in Jazz Blue

just ticked over 110k miles

Fresh MOT as well as 6 months tax. - had a brand new cat put on for mot, and now has a brand new battery with 3 year warranty. Ready to drive away!

Paperwork is currently in the post as the V5 got lost on the way to the insurance company, but I have payed for a replacement.

Lowered on JOM coilovers, wound all the way down

4x100 13" banded steels in white - originally off a polo 6n, banded to 7j front and 7.5j rear with mk2 golf center caps

the wheels, getting them painted, tyres and suspension cost me around £600 a few months ago. Tyres have loads of tread.

For some reason, at times (depending how much weight I have in the car) the rear right tyre will scuff on the arch, never had a problem with any other corner, but because of this, the condition of the sidewall of this tyre isn't great.

I have owned the car for about 10 months, and I can genuinely say I have not had a single mechanical problem with her since having ownership.

I bought her completely standard off of a mechanic up in Kent, who was selling it on behalf of his family as it was a shared car. Being a mechanic he had regularly checked and serviced it hence there are no problems with it, and it runs great. There is a booklet filled with service history dating from 2001 up until the most recent service I payed for which was in december 2012.

I have literally put her on coilies and the bandeds, and done nothing else, so she is completely standard otherwise. She does sit really low, and you do have to watch the road as it is easy to hit manhole covers and cats-eyes if you aren't careful.. But I love it haha! the sills and splitter sit lower than you think.

The bodywork is in good nick, no rust or major dents. There is maybe 1 or 2 tiny dings around the whole car, but I can't remember where as they have never bothered me and aren't noticeable but will get back to you on that and a few stone chips on the front bumper, but again nothing major, I'm just being picky.

Interior is good, a few marks on one of the backs seats, and some small wear on the drivers seat bolster but again nothing serious, purely cosmetic.

**One thing to note: One of my housemates idiotically reversed into my car when trying to get out of the drive a few weeks ago. he caught his front wing on my drivers side rear quarter panel, and as it was such a freezing cold morning, the panel split, rather than dented. So there is a harsh ridge running parallel to the ground just there.. (will attach a photo below) It was really annoying because overall, the bodywork is really good compared to a lot of lupos I've seen around apart from this annoying thing. Its not really that noticeable considering how I have just described it, but none the less it's an imperfection. please see photos to see for yourself..

Because of this, I am taking off a massive £500 from the original price that I wanted to sell it for as he is going to reimburse me for the damage he caused. This is the amount I have been quoted for a repair of this type, although you may be able to get it done cheaper, or in fact do it yourself.

Overall it has been well looked after and is a great little fun car with no real problems. I always get compliments about her, and get some amazing looks when driving around, so I think my asking price of £1300 is reasonable baring in mind the damaged quarter panel.

I have been honest about everything, so what I have told you is what you will get!

Don't hesitate to PM me regarding the car, or drop me a text if it's easier

As long as you're insured to, you will be able to drive it away the same day if you want to come and have a look.

So I've been quoted around £400-600 to get the rear quarter pannel repaired and painted, so willing to sell for £1300 how it is ONO?? Any interest??

Photos of damaged rear quarter panel

MOT got delayed as it was too low to get on the rollers, but it's now had a brand new cat for the MOT and will have a full years from tomorrow, as well as 6 months tax! Only advisories being too low, although it was raised up and had the original steels on for the test.

12 months mot, 6 tax, brand new cat and I just bought a new battery for her so she's all ready for a new home BUMP!

Possible PX with some wide 14 or 15" alloys/banded steels for my miata??
