Overpriced?

Discuss.....

 

[Nick_P]

Scene tax has gone up alot, so the prices are pretty high now!

 

[MikeB]

I love these, but i think they are overpriced for what they are.

 

[Matthew]

Over £7K for a handbag with Xenons seems way overpriced to my un-trained eyes lol

 

[Addz]

As fun as a 182 but with german build quality so it wont drop to bits, i'd pay if it i was looking for a small fun hatchback tbh

 

[Daniel]

LOL @ paying 7k for a lupo. especially that old!

You can buy a decent mk5 Golf gti for £2k more!!

 

[Joeh]

I dissagree that theyre as fun as a 1*2, i loved everything about mine but my cup is so much more fun.

 

[Matthew]

This one has 90K miles on it and its still more than mint 182's are going for atm..

They are great little cars! and I think worth every penny! build quality is great and such a fun car to drive

 

[Goodj]

7k buys an FRP though....

not that they're in anyway similar

Evo did a long term report on theirfleet one and said:

The Lupo wasn't just about good looks, however. It's also blessed with an effortless gearchange, a torquey 125bhp engine, Xenon headlights (which are the best I've ever encountered on any car) and a lightweight body with aluminum doors, bonnet and front wings. All of which adds up to a car that can be punted along efficiently with little effort.
The low mass meant it could also be thrown around like a toy with little concern for the suspension getting baggy in its old age. With light steering which weights up a little once turned in, the GTI just goes where you point it, with plenty of comedy body-roll, which adds to the fun though it makes you wish the seats were a little more supportive.

Still those two examples are overpriced but they are getting difficult to get good ones.

If you want a low mileage Cat C repaired one how about this:

106 GTi tbh.

 

[Matthew]

TBH the Lupo GTI's arent that quick, and think ide rather have, as above, a 106 GTi or a VTS and have £4000 in my pocket?! lol

Each to their own though isnt it.
