Dubby

Location: Essex Price: 1875.00 GBP Date added to Classifieds: 24th Jan 2012 Description: Model: 6n2 1.6 16v GTI Year/Reg: It's a 2000 'X' plate. Previously registered as 'L2 DUB', incase this helps you do any checks on it's history/status. Mileage: Just a tad under 67k. MOT: Due to expire in April, I expect that it will have no issues passing. Tax: Currently SORNed Good points: -Low mileage and only two owners (officially three owners; when I first bought it my mum was the keeper). -The gearbox was fully reconditioned at 32k. The pedal box was also replaced under recall. I have the relevant paperwork for this. -Full history - some main dealer and more recently by independent garages. -G60 steelies with plenty of tread on the tyres. -K&N filter; headlight protectors. -Pretty clean for an 11 year old car! Bad points: -The interior has some wear, as you would expect for its age. I'm a fat b'stad, so the drivers seat edge is a little frayed. There are some marks on the front seats. -Passenger window doesn't work. -The climate control works, but could do with a re-gas to be ultra cold. -There are some scratches, again, as you would expect with the age of the car. And because I'm not that good at wielding a snow shovel. Oops. The passenger side has been keyed, it's not too bad though. -It's last service/MOT threw up a track rod end that needed replacing, which was done. Since then, the steering wheel has been a little on the wonk. It's not eaten the tyres though, so probably just needs adjusting. Location: Wickford, Essex. Approximately 20 minutes from Jct29 of the M25.

You can have either/both! Price: £1875 or near offer. I think that's reasonable given its age, mileage etc. I don't wish to part-ex or swap for another car; I've already bought one.

I wear a vintage GMT Master every day! I'd like a vintage Sub eventually too.

The last time I saw one was in November! Red, broken down near the Holiday Inn, Ipswich. I was on the way to pick up my new car and thought it might be a 'sign'.....

My daily of more than 6 years (longest I've ever had a car :lol: ), a Polo GTI. I've been thinking of maybe replacing it in a year or two, but then I think I'd want to hang on to it anyway :shrug: so maybe it'll be second-car to a new 'Rocco, cross that bridge when I come to it!

Blimey. I never checked its history :camp: . So it had done what, 140k on the original charger?!!!! That's a record, surely!

I had to declare them as if they were alloys, in modification terms :cuckoo: Steeliest discrimination, imo :lol:

It already looks at home :D I hope you get more time to enjoy it than I have lately :luvlove:

Nice one, get the details up then, which one did you buy????? He bought mine 8)

Polo GTI/Mistubishi Spacestar. The Corrado comes out only very occasionally :?

Definitely report it to the police - I'm sure they would class that as failing to stop after and accident or something. AFAIK, you have 24 hours from the time of the incident to report it. Someone caused a fair bit of damage to my old golf once and drove off and left it - insurance would have written it off, it still cost me about £90 to fix it myself, new light, grille, paint etc. :( Good luck

Sorry to hear you had a close one - its' not nice at all. There really is no accounting for the way some people drive. A while ago, I was driving along, minding my own business, came to a mini roundabout and a lad skidded out in front of me, not even glancing in my direction!!!! Had I not of already slowed down a little (it's a roundabout with not much visibility until you're right on it) there would have definitely been a collision :shock: With the 'fight' part of my 'fight or flight' reflex in full swing, I followed him and gave him a very colourful peice of my mind when he stopped :lol: :lol: :lol: Him looking red faced and about to cry kind of made me feel better, I hope the experience will make him think twice next time!!!!!

Hmm, probably my mk1 - which was a 46k, totally mint and unmolested 1.5 GLS.

Just a tad over 3 years, which is a long time to have a car (for me anyway). I was thinking today, my Polo and I have had a monogamous 'daily driver' relationship for over 4 and a half years now - thats the longest ever!! :lol:

Filled up yesterday...I got 283 miles out of 3/4 of a tank...can't do the maths :lol: It was the diff that was knackered :(
