It's a shame the price wasn't specified on the older ad.
Having said that I'd say the new owner won't have much interest at that price.

It's up for 2600 as of 5 hours ago, and the price it was up for two weeks ago by previous owner was around 1300 I think, maybe 1500.

What's this, 5th different owner in 6 months?

I just couldn't help showing the price difference :)

Can't people just bump up the ad instead of creating a new one?

Goz, it's a different seller! Blaine obviously sold it within the last two weeks, and current seller (Aidan) is selling it on, thinking he's gonna make a profit or something. I checked...it's the most expensive FTO for sale privately now.

I think Aidan is a little bit deluded. I wonder does he even have the logbook back yet.

Jaysus. There must be a bad smell out of that car or something. If I was reselling, I would atleast ask the previous owner to remove the ad. Also, if ever I buy a car to resell, I keep the logbook and just sign a piece of paper to give to the previous owner that I bought the car at a certain date. It looks bad when another owner is added for the sake of a buy to sell transaction. Plus, it sometimes takes over a month to get the logbook back. The previous price was 1200 as far as I can remember.

and petrol prices.

The only thing I see wrong with that FTO is the 4 speed auto.

Actually goz that's a big one.

Part of the reason iv made mine a track car. On the up side I now have anti lag, launch control & traction control.

Is that the aero series bumper? Tasty

yeah, Id say the new owner bought the car before getting a quote and realised how much it would cost to get on the road and so is selling her on, but at that price he is a dreamer, saw Fto's like that going for €800 about 2 months ago.
