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 not 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.

Price
Make me an offer. Sensible offers considered.

Sorry to hear you selling up, looks like a tidy GTI too.

Why not get it fixed though mate?

[rydale13]

Can't afford it mate tbh. Just started a business. If I had the money I would, but I'll have to sell up and buy something cheaper. Would love to keep it and fix up. When it's clean, it's a stunner!

So someone can grab a bargain and sell for a tidy profit if they're happy to take it on.

if you break it, ill be interested in the front foglights and xenon headlights

[rydale13]

If no one wants to buy whole car on UKP, I may decide to break. Only as a last resort!

I'll let people know if I decide to break for first dibs etc. Right now, would just like to focus on the sale of the car as a whole 1st guys.

Be a great shame to break a car in this condition, fingers crossed somebody buys it from you and gets it back on the road.
What sort of price are you looking for? Its got to be worth £1500 every day of the week even with its problem.
