They seem to fetch more than the Polo's, but then they also went up to something like an 03 plate.

Was actually 05 or even 55

Yeah if you're looking at a late car you can be talking upto Â£8-9K.
Downsides I reckoned beyond the cost side was size, manual aircon (both of which are hardly a big deal I guess), and fuel range - around 230 Miles (according to EVO) which could be annoying (although I'd like to see figures from an owner).

for 8k i'd buy a standard one and rob the bumpers n stuff of the GTI

i wouldn't get insured on one anyway i don't think (well not for under3k lol)

Wouldn't really need to. Maybe a bit of smoothing if thats your thing.

It's got me looking on Autotrader now, even though I don't have the money

19 for sale nationally on there, starting at Â£4995 for a 2001 with 72k on the clocks. Hmmm...

it was just an example of the niceness of them though

they are small i think putting 6x9 on the parcel shelf would be hard the shelf is sooo small

i like 'em! i wouldn't mind one at all (yes i am comfortable beiong straight!). there are pretty rare tho and 'i think' there were only about 1000 brought into the uk? Club Lupo have a register don't they?

you talking about GTI's there?

i've seen 2 in real life lol
they both was silver and looked the shizzle.

a lad at college has just bought a lupo and it looks like a GTI, but isn't even though he tells people it is.

yeah i also am in the process of trying to MAKE my gf buy a lupo 16v just so i can mod it!

and if anyone says "its too girly" then why the F**k are they on a polo site its not exactly macho bullsh*t! - if were all honest we chose a polo cos were not affraid to show our feminine side, thought golfs were too obvious (handy down or just cant afford a golf!!!

) i say f**k it ive seen some heavy lupos, and if you can force your gf into buying 1 just for your own selfish pleasure i dont see anything wrong with it.
