Hey all, putting my car up for sale now as I'd like to sell before my insurance runs out in late November.
Under 160k on the clock, MOT until 02nd May 2013 and TAXed until the end of March.
Earlier in the year it had a low mileage replacement gearbox fitted due to a failure, new clutch and the main oil seal was done too since the box was out. Previous to this the car had it's headgasket replaced, front n/s wheel bearing and a new cat all less than a year ago. I broke down in June due to a failing ignition coil, obviously replaced with a new one and has been perfect ever since over the 3000 miles done in that period! Only issue with it is that the radiator fan vibrates but functions absolutely perfectly!
As you can see the car is very smart indeed, the body is great but with a car this age there is the odd mark. There's a scratch on the bonnet covered up by a Performance VW sticker which tbh looks right imo! Small rust scab bubbling up on top of the N/S sill. Dent in the O/S front wing done by a numpty in a white van last Friday, could be pushed out with access through the headlight hole as the paint isn't damaged and neither is the crease line along the side.
The interior is a nice place to be with the electric goodies. One touch electric windows, sunroof, mirrors and heated seats all working but the passenger mirror doesn't move up or down, just left and right, very easily sorted with a replacement mirror which you can pic up for around £15, I just moved it by hand when I got the car to the required position and left it alone! Sometimes you have to press up on the driver's window switch before it goes down, very small niggle yes, but hardly the end of the world is it? Currently the headlining is out and is missing it's material as it was sagging so has been peeled off, easy to recover or to replace with one from a scrap yard. I'll ring my local scrapyard and try and get a new one asap!
Mods and changes include:
Good quality coilovers set at a sensible height!
Stainless Steel cat-back exhaust system, quite loud but suits the car in my opinion.
VR6 BBS wheels painted white with custom blue centre caps, all with fantastic tread plus a 5th in the shed.
Smoothed tailgate,
Custom black painted badging,
Aftermarket front fog lights,
Standard rear light clusters due to the smoked GTi ones being damaged and they look kac anyway!
Convertible Colour Concept gear knob,
Chrome door lock releases and alloy door pins,
plus a few other small things.
Included in the asking price is:
A brand new set of wheel arch trims,
My JVC headunit that has CD, USB port and 3.5mm aux port.
A complete Vento front end with a late style grill which is badly painted tbh. The bonnet has the odd mark around it from storage but easily touched up and the driver's headlight glass is damaged.
Black painted cam cover,
Suede door pulls,
Original gearknob.
I think that's everything so here's some pics for you
They were all taken today before you ask.
Asking £850 as per title but open to offers or swaps even so don't be shy.
Any questions just ask.
