For Sale: 98 FTO GPX Manual Genuine Leather SOLD

Postby paulkenny » Fri Feb 28, 2014 6:15 pm

Hi,

Unfortunately the time has come to part with my FTO ...I'll miss it but it has to go. My lovely baby daughter has just been born so it is time to get sensible.

I imported the car myself in August 2005 and it has been well looked after since since then with all servicing done by Paul Nolan.

The car is also taxed through till the end of April but it it needs an NCT. It failed on emissions due to a hole in the exhaust mid section which will cost £70STG from Camskill.

I am looking to sell this quick at €500

Some photos I have of it are below

Cheers,
Paul

Is the car still for sale? I've had 2 interested people. The first lost interest by the time I got your number and the second person wanted to view today. Said he text you the the other day and I tried calling you and left a voicemail to call me back. If you're putting the sale off, let me know, because I look like a tool when I'm recommending the car and you're not contactable, or responding to calls/texts. I offered to buy it myself when you said you were selling it, but it took a couple of months for you to get back to me. I'll leave it with you to get in touch with the person who was interested. Good luck with the sale.

A family event at the weekend took precedence over my sale I'm afraid. Sorry for the lack of reply and apologies for any embarrassment caused. I have just responded to the the text message. The car is still for sale and I am asking €950. Thanks for your help. Paul

Cool. Cheers for getting back to me and you're welcome for the help. Mick told me earlier you had got back to him.

Yeah, I think so too. I guess the running costs in regards to tax, insurance and fuel just mean the market for cars like ours is really small. I wonder would it fare any better in the UK used car market. I gave it a clean and took it for a little spin last weekend ....its running perfect and still brought a smile to my face ..I can't believe its worth so little. If I had the space to store it for my mid life crisis I would!!! :)

Just spotted it on Adverts there too. The market really is tiny. I would buy to fix, nct and sell, but I don't think it would shift anytime soon.

Just dropped the price as I need this gone :-( ...hopefully there is enough room in the price now for someone with more space/time/ability than I to get it NCT'd and shift it for a profit

That's a serious bargain, if right was right it'd be snapped up for four times that.

Sold ...I think your right Bernard that it was a good bargain. I guess this must be the bottom of the market.

:D

Now to decide what to do with it. She needs some minor TLC, which I am happy to give. Would love to keep it, but most likely she will be getting passed onto my brother. Didn't want it going to someone who might rally it and destroy it.

It's being sold to my older brother, who I had in mind for it from the start. He has wanted a manual mivec since I got mine back in 2011. He has had a GS, my 94 GR and then traded that for a 99 GX Aero, none of which he got on the road, due to personal circumstances, but the GPX is a keeper. I'll post progress of it in a new thread, though it doesn't need much it seems.
