2005 Volkswagen Lupo GTI

[vinnymcdonnell]

Have a 2005 VW Lupo due in early May. Standard car except for a different head unit. Car looks to be in very good condition with only one or 2 minor marks on the lower front bumper on the underside, where it seems to have rubbed on a speed ramp or similar.

Some of the Spec;
- 154,000 Kilometers, or around 96,000 miles
- 1.6 125bhp NA engine. Same engine as the Polo GTI
- Aluminium body panels for lightness
- Titanium springs
- Center exit exhaust
- Has all floor mats still present
- 6 Speed manual
- Recaro interior
- Very good toyo proxes t1r tyres
- Xenon headlights
- AC (optional extra on Euro cars)
- End of line GTI's as it was the last year of production in 2005

The gear gaiter looked a bit grubby on the top so I ordered a replacement to have the car looking it's best again.

Looking for €5,000, these a without doubt a future classic and looking at UK prices is fairly priced given it's the last of the Lupo GTI's and is a standard car

Not really, had never planned on keeping it to be honest. Plus the fact I ended up buying a 525i there last week........that was the tipping point for her patience with me and my car problem

Nice wee thing.
Is it JDM?

Yup it's a Japanese car alright. But they are the same spec car all over the world, only exception Jap cars get AC as standard

A red one of these was imported by a lad down the road from me in the last couple of weeks too. Looks like Japan is getting sick of them.. they're super cool, good luck with the sale Vinny

Wouldn't say there sick of them, very hard owning older cars in Japan because of the very strict testing and cost involved. There is some sort of grants on new cars so just easier to replace it for a new one

Bumpy on this, have a few items picked up for it such as the towing eye covers (not cheap let me tell you!!), near gear gaiter. Deposit will secure the car.

VRT is €696 according to the Revenue site, so this clean low mileage end of line GTI Lupo will be cheaper than going to England buying before you even consider factoring in travel and other costs associated with going to England

Bump on this and put it up on Donedeal, will be here next week and a price drop on it also for a quick sale!
