It's time to shift on my 106 GTi, I've owned it for a couple of months and while it's a load of fun to razz to work and back in, I was in a position to get something a bit fancier and I've bought myself an Ibiza Cupra turbo thing. 200bhp and it doesn't feel anywhere near as quick or as fun as this! Anyway, I digress.
It drives fine, goes bloody well and there's nowt particularly wrong with the mechanicals, everything works as it should, including the ABS. Mileage is 100500. I will include a video of the mileage ticking over to 100,000 miles to the lucky buyer. This is the 1.6 16v, about 125/130bhp or whatever. There's about 10 months MOT on it.
I've put a new clutch and crank seal etc on it about 500 miles ago, along with a thermostat and some £22 wiper blades. Turns out the clutch I took off was brand new and the release bearing was just wedging on the guide tube causing it to not disengage properly, but I had all the bits so I put them on.
The bodywork is not amazing, it's a ten footer I would say. It could do with a good polish but cleaning cars is not my thing, it wouldn't come up perfect mind. The passenger wing is a pattern replacement and is rotten from the inside, and the drivers rear quarter has a bit of a rattlecan effort repair or something. Included are a full set of china blue panels and bumpers if you want them, but I dropped the drivers door and it's fuct.
Inside it's pretty good nick (cloth). It smells like a Peugeot, the speedo under reads 5% but it does have proper remote central locking fitted by me to replace the wanky IR system these come with. The electric windows both work, and the PAS pump seems fine and doesn't sound at all like a dremel so it's got years left in it yet.
Like all of these by now it's got a pipercross cone filter on it, and I put a brand new (£380 RRP!!!) Magnex stainless exhaust and decat on. Being magnex it's not mega loud, but you do know it's there. It does go a lot better compared to with the pattern copy OE exhaust and cat which are both included. It's not been lowered or owt, and the stock wheels are all there, as is a decent amount of tyre tread.
Bad points that spring to mind are that it could do with a new fire ring on the exhaust as it blows a bit, the rocker covers leak a bit (they all do that sir™), it probably needs a coolant flush as it's just got water in since I did the stat, and the headlights could do with aligning, they are aimed quite low. Oh and I wired the airbag light up to the check engine light cos it's on all the time otherwise. There probably are other bad bits but it's something you can quite happily jump in and go to work every morning in, like I did until yesterday.
I'm looking for £700. It's currently taxed and insured etc, I'm happy to take you for a good run about in it, you can drive it yourself if I can be sure you're insured (which is surprisingly cheap, £290 a year fully comp with aidy flux)
I'm in Bolsover, near Chesterfield, just off M1 j29a.

Ran these in the late 90's when working as a salesman at a Peugeot dealer. More fun than the 206, and possibly even the 306!
