Black Polo GTI for sale




I'm reluctantly selling my much loved Polo GTI due to cambelt failure. Was only last week considering detailing work on my polo as well! Oh well, the world must go on...

I've owned it now for 2 years now and besides the cambelt failure (hasn't snapped, but the teeth are worn causing slipping) it's in great condition. The cambelt was last replaced at 40,000.

I love the car and i've only ever used the best when it comes to servicing including Castrol EDGE Sport engine oil £42.00 for 5 litres, irridium spark plugs etc etc.

Spec:
1.6 16V 125 BHP
Y plate (2001) - latest 6N2 GTI model
83,000 miles
Full automatic climate control
Electric windows
Remote central locking
6 CD Changer in boot
MOT until Feb '11 same for road tax
2 keys provided
Full factory xenon headlamps with upgraded Kaixen HID discharge bulbs (£50 for the bulbs but well worth it)
All usual GTI extras
Upgraded grooved + drilled brake discs with Ferrodo DS brake pads all round
BMC 'style' air intake with silicone cold air feed


Good points
Tidy interior
Pretty immaculate service history with loads of receipts
New alternator fitted recently (still under warranty)

Bad points
Passenger side electric window intermittent
Cambelt failure
No stereo included however a factory model can be picked up on eBay for around £40
Due a replacement battery soon.

Ideal for...
Mechanics who can fix the engine as cheaply as possible and sell it for a tidy profit. Or as a project car. As you probably already know, Polo GTI's are rare in good condition and can fetch over £3,000 easily. Especially for the later models such as this one.

More info on cam belt failure.
Please note that the cam belt is still intact, however the teeth have worn down. The engine cut out at low speed whilst cornering leaving my house. 2nd gear, max speed of 15 mph.

New price!
No chance at £500 mate. Already had offers way over a grand! If you seen the car, you'd see why I've had some good offers.

It's worth more than twice that from breaking alone! Headlights easily go for £150... Just to add, I'm not breaking atm guys.

take his hand off then m8 because it WILL need a new cylinder head

It'll make more money in parts - sorry but true

I only paid £1500 for one two years ago without cam belt failure

If you've had an offer over a grand I'd say take it too - I'm handy with spanners and if I had still been looking for one that's pretty much my limit - need to allow £600 for rectification I reckon (not including my own time)
