J plate G40 For Sale - Pearl Grey Metalic
« on: March 14, 2012, 05:29:21 pm »
FOR SALE - POLO G40 - £1,200ono - Spares/Repair

I am selling my beloved G40 that I have owned since 2006. I bought this car as my daily driver which up until the last year has been spot on but now is needing more time than I am able to give it. This is a reluctant sale as I would love to keep it as a 2nd car and restore her back to showroom condition but time and funds do not allow this.

Basic Info
Jreg Polo G40
Pearl Metalic Grey
Sunroof
167,874 miles
2 owners since new
MOT - expires 11/04/12
Tax - Sorn

Completely standard except for: Tinted side repeaters, tinted rear lights, clear front indicators, no radio( all wiring still intact if needed), hands free kit fitted, silicone boost pipes, magnacore HT leads, grooved black diamond discs and ferodo brake pads, goodridge braided hoses front and rear.

Items That Come With The Car

Pile of receipts inc proof of Supercharger service by Jabbasport 14/05/08 (Standard stage 2 service done at roughly 155,000miles)
Service booked stamped by a VW dealer up until 12/06
MOT's from 2000 - 2012. Last 2 MOT's were failures first time. 1 due to rear brake pipe bursting and 1 due to brake cable snapping. These were repaired and the car re-tested. Current MOT had no advisories.
Original purchase receipt from VW
2 Sets of keys
Tax disc's since 2006 and current sorn letter which expires 31/05/12
G40 spec and equipment sheet
Dealers car brochure  

Good Points
Wheels were refurbed in 2007 and current tyres are in good condition
Supercharger serviced in 2008
New rear handbrake cables
All new rear copper brake pipes
Serviced every 5,000 miles since 2006 using mobile 1 oil
New back box on exhaust
New battery
Body work in reasonable condition for age
Rare colour and rare optional extra of sunroof
Interior in good condition
AS CLOSE TO STANDARD AS YOUR LIKELY TO FIND!!

Bad Points
Running problem - car will start intermittently and will then cut out after which she will be difficult to start again
Driver side wing is a genuine 2nd hand VW replacement for the original which had rusted
Passanger side wing rusting (replacement supplied)
Both wings and bonnet need spraying
Bodywork has some dings and scratches on most panels (as to be expected of a car this age)
Very small areas of surface rust
Small rust hole inside the battery tray as is common
Slight play in steering rack (replacement supplied)
Would benefit from new suspension bushes as all suspension is original
Some chips in the windscreen
Rear seat's fading at the top and starting to split

Any questions please don't hesitate to ask. More detailed pictures of anything can be supplied if needed. Car is based in Horsham, West Sussex and would need trailering away. now £1,200 - no swaps

I have gone to start her this morning and she is only turning over but not firing up so I believe she should be considered to be a non runner. Because of this I am reducing the price to £1,500ono. As above any questions please don't hesitate to ask and all sensible offers will be considered!

i'm confused, the original price was £1200, and now that you've confirmed it as a non-runner you've reduced it to £1500??

i have had a fair amount of interest now but no one has yet to actually give me a definate day or time to come and see it. so i am now at the stage where it really needs to go asap. therefore i will be putting the car on ebay this sunday evening 15th of april unless somebody contacts me with a definate time and day to come and look at the car with a genuine view to buy.
cheers.
