2600..or near offer? 1 lady owner?? its immaculate in the picture. called her and it was sold (obviously)- i really want to upgrade my 6n2 1.4 mpi..

I got mine for the same price as above...but with only 16,000 miles. Previous owner was a priest. It is the 1.4s 16v 75Bhp model. No alloys tho or A/C

[mr_pachinko]

damn! and there i was thinking i got a good deal on a 1.4 match X reg with 50,000 on the clock for £2900..
then again you got some dealers still selling mk4's with 50k plus on the clock for £3500- so i wasn't xactly ripped off

My dad recently bought a damaged repairable 6N2 1.4 16v on a Y plate from the local scrap yard, it was not that bad to look at (put it this way I've seen much more knackered cars on the road). It was a cat. 4 write off, if I recall correctly this meant it had body damage only, and was the lowest damage they would write it off for. But anyway he bought it for £1495 had all the work done and sold it for just over £3000 for a tidy profit. Wish I'd had it now

I got a 2000(W) 1.4 16v Lupo sport (100bhp) for £2000
and a 2001(X) 1.4 16v Lupo S for £1500

but they were both high milers.

still cheap though!

HAHAHAHAHA

hate to be the bearer of bad news mr_pachinko BUT..... (you're going to hate me for this)

... I'm the ONE who bought that car! I called her as soon as it appeared and bought it the next day (was a Thursday).

It wasnt so much of a bargain though as I had to pay £2900 for it as someone else offered £2800 for it and it came down to a bit of a bidding battle. But the car was in very good nick and had all the VW service history and paperwork, air con and was in overall good nick aside from a few deep scratches (nothing that Chipsaway cant sirt out). One of the tyres needed replacing too.

haha! you fu$%er!

i knew the person who bought it would be on this forum eventually. oh well, you got a good deal thats for sure. It looked a good motor- £2600 was a stupid price for it, £2900 is still cheap!
hope it gives you a good run mate
