Bems Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yeah read that. Rear spoiler bubbles up too because the foam gets saturated. Just looked it up again 975kg kerb weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Just to throw a cat amongst the pigeons. Have you looked at 306 gti6's Cracking fun cars, light weight 6 speed manual (one of the first cars ever to be sold with one)167bhp, drives like a go kart, goes like a rocket, understated but refined. I had one and loved it and would be cheaper than the Lupe to buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bems Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Trying to keep my search local'ish. I'd travel as far as Glasgow for the right car but in all honesty at this time of year & with everything else that's going on justnow I'd rather it was a car in or around Aberdeen. I know that's not doing me much good but hey I never thought the Lupo would come up for sale so close by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bems Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 So I've offered £3500 for the Lupo today. Just waiting to hear back. Offer is based on a second viewing as it was lashing it down when I first viewed it. He has other interest so I've left offer open for a little while but that's my top offer, see what happens.

comrade Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Maybe don't understand something here, but why would anyone pay £4k for a 10 year old Lupo? I mean, in what way is it better than any other old hatch that you can buy for a grand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bems Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 For me, aluminium panels, solid build quality, good residuals, xenons, six speed box, low mileage & its a VAG so plenty retro fit mods. Just a few. Not many good low mileage hatches for a grand that I can think of, none that aren't full of rot or made of tracing paper.

Bems Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 So I ended up buying the Lupo. So far so good although the wife seems to be away with the keys more ATM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdm owner Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Are those steelies ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bems Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Are those steelies ? G60's yes. On the hunt for something nicer, ideally BBS RC 321's in 16" but they're hard to come by. Probably keep the steelies as winter. Edited November 12, 2014 by Bems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
