106 GTi gone, new GTi in!!

[klmillard]

Right, after the guy buying my gti turned up to collect and handed over the 3.1k cash. I then spent the whole night searching for a replacement for around 3.5k or less if I could. After getting very very stressed as I could not find a replacement I started having regrets on the sale.

Then I noticed this Gti 106 for sale in the local rag. So I went and had a butchers and got it for a brucey bargin.

Now this a on 56k with full FPSH, all loaded with extras, 99 S plate and got it from a middle aged lady who has been the only owner and had it from new. It is totally standard and in very good condition. Has the alcatara and leather.

It was up for £3150 which I thought was a bargin as the owners didnt seem to know its value, so I set off with some bargining and got it for the loverly sum of £2900!!!

Only needs a 60mm drop and a change of wheels and I will be happy

what u guys think?

Nice mate, saw you post exactly on PGAC a while ago! Did you just copy and paste? lol

 

[klmillard]

This is my old one for people who dont know it

It was brilliant, mint, 52k, fsh, but the lack of leather let it down and ~I really fancied a face lift one.

 

[klmillard]

yeah, slightly edited, lol.

I got it 2 and a bit weeks ago but then they day after I went on hol and only got back a few days ago, so am now loving driving the new GTI again

 

[rory182]

great for the money, nice one

 

[GarethM]

nice dude

what car would you have got if you had not got this bargain?

not fancy a clio?

 

[klmillard]

I would love a clio, if I could I would have a clio anyday but the 172 is a little out of my reach at the moment.

I also absolutly love the valvers, they really are my main love after owning my old one for 2yrs but they are just that little bit 2 old now as my old one needed money thrown at it and now with a mortgage and saving for a wedding I just aint got the same money to throw at the valver anymore.

 

[rory182]

gotta agree mate, 106gti on a 98 S at that money is nice and modern and fast, great handling - cant argue with that.

i know how much fun my 205gti was and 106gtis pissed all over it lol.

 

[rcp]

great little car the pug 106 is.

 

[StevieP]

Did you have a blue valver with big wheels on? And a big sunstrip? I seem to remember you having a valver or something similar a while ago, who did you sell it to? Because there is a car that is identical to yours driving around my part of Leicester by some guy.

Oh and the pug is very nice by the way. The times that two pug 106 gtis were putting in at pod today makes me think that if I didnt have a 172 Id have one of those!

Such a laugh to drive these cars...had a spin in a couple when i was looking for a new un.

What exactly did they change on the face lift models and what year did that come in?

Cheers Tom

they came in on Sreg, the only differences are that the later ones have the leather interior & no side rub strips.

u can can R regs with leather and no bumpstrips

 

[Tucks]

Nice price for a s reg car there.Looks tidy in your pics.

 

[klmillard]

cheers guys - The face lift just looses the bump strips and comes with leather seats, thas happened at some point on R plate.

Something about it is a lot nice than my last one, although my last one was mint and a brilliant drive this one seems a whole lot newer car. Just need it lowered asap

I did own a blue valver with 17s and cream leather, i sold it to a lad from here back 2 yrs ago - Think he was from Kent way, but he sold it on after a few months so not sure where it is.
