Ive owned this car for 6 and a half years and spent approx £12k on it in my time. I have every MOT since it was new, the mileage sits at 122k but is in superb condition, It has never had an headgasket go. The head was removed about 4 years ago to have it gasflowed etc and whilst it was off I had the engine inspected and was suprised to see how clean everything was, its been on the rolling road numerous times, if only to check it was still fueling correctly etc. Its an awsome car and has hardly ever let me down. The car was featured in a 7 page spread of Performance GTi which can be seen in the pictures below.

It does have one or 2 issues with the bodywork which you dont really notice until you start to inspect the car, simple stuff like the paint has a few cracks on the bonnet due to it being fibreglass and flexing at speed on the motorway but still looks the dogs rollocks. Easiest way of fixing this is to get a carbon fibre bonnet which I never got round to doing. By no means is this car perfect. The paint job was done about 3 and a half years ago and cost me £2200 at the time. Still looks awsome after a polish, infact it doesnt even need a polish to look awsome. Anyway, suppose your going to want to see some pictures.












send me an email if your interested to davegtt@hotmail.com

price: try me with an offer, I can only say no.

Thanks for looking.

 

awesome - love the R5GTT - owned one for 2 years and loved it - pukka example dude!

 

Thanks, loving driving it again as its been off the road for a while but it does have to go now

 

yeah i was in bits when mine went, managed to get about £4.5k for it, had a massive spec too....what kinda price do these go for now days?

 

depends really on what your looking for, I ideally want to see £3000 for this (I put offers on here because you'll always get some numpty say £3000 for a reno 5, your having a laugh blah blah so wanted to cut that out ). If you search on Autotrader for one you'll be lucky to find a dog for under 2k. Even on the owners club they all seem to be minimum 2k and they go for anything above that really.

 

sounds like a steal to me mate - all the best!

 

Mucho appriciated thanks.

 

Looks cool mate
I had a Raider some years ago - great little go-karts (although a bit flimsey!)

How come the plates are different to the burnt out picture??

 

Thanks

The text might be too small to read but the car burnt out was my first GT Turbo I owed and scrapped because of the fire (dont worry I sued the garage I bought it off ) and this is a completely different car

p.s. I have a spare copy of the magazine for the buyer to take with the car

 

Probably just my eyesight actually

Good luck Dave.

 

u can buy a brand new stage two engine for renault 5 for 800 so why would anyone pay 3k for urs

 

Nice car Dave good luck mate.

 

You need a car to go with the engine mate, might get a bit hot sat ontop of that

Cheers bat fink.

 

my mate got a good car for 300 new engine at 800 thats 1100 for car with brand new engine instead of 120 odd thousands miles on it It also produces more power than the one ur selling so i dont know how u can think urs is worth 3k

 

lol... I will sell it at whatever price I like, if nobody offers me anything for it then I aint lost nowt have I? Move along now little boy.

 

Well at least someone proved your point !

 

I think that looks stunning and is definatly worth the money, suppose 95blackwrx gets free wheels, suspension, respray, retrims etc etc etc lol

pm sent

 

Jesus stop trying to sabotage peoples threads, this is a lovely car and worth alot more than £1000 odd quid what you are suggesting

 

If only, he PM'd me an offer of £800

Cheers for the comments guys.

 

Pretty car there chap!

Whats insurance like? My GF needs a new car and I can't afford to run 2 scoobies!!

 

nice car dude, u will always get numpties when selling a motor especilly after the look at the parkers price quide lol, good luck on the sale

 

Edd, changed my insurance from my RX7 to this and its due for renewal at the end of the month so got a quote yesterday fully comp for £410 with 5yrs NCB & 6points. Power can be turned down to as low as 10psi to make it nippy but handable. Only concern with giving it a woman is no power steering an 17" wheels makes 3 point turns and car park manouvering akward. Its fine for me but unless your womans butch she might struggle

 

Agreed, i know a saying, if you got nothing good to say, say nothing! good luck with the sale mate, Its a lovely car and the right person will give you the right money!

 

Is this stil for sale??? my other half is looking for a rennie 5 at the mo i reckon she`d like this one, will speak to her a bit later and show her this thread.

 

i reckon it looks like a nice one and at least you wont have to spend a packlet on modifiying it good luck with the sale!!!

 

you're having a bubble aint ya pal......well done for trying to screw up the thread, luckily everyone else here seems to recognise the motor before them!

 

Blimey Dave !!! You will be selling the house and Becky next !!?!!(bet you will keep the doggy! )

All the best with the sale buddy, and see you Sunday

 

Never thought of that. Couldn't bare it after the grief she gave me whilst driving my old 205GTI without PS.

BTTT anyway

 

I had a 1988 GTT with one owner before me. Totally standard, original condition. I got £1,550 on ebay.

 

So if you want to talk numbers and facts:

£1000.00 for an engine of this standard (Renault do not sell new engines they are recon units and exclude Turbo and assoicated pipe work or fitting)

£1000.00 Car (ropey example)

Respray to this standard £1000

Breaks £180

Twin headlights £150

front mount intercooler £300

hoses £250

wheels & tyres £500

Misc engines bits i.e. dump valve, chrome parts, air filter,carb,clutch, Turbo £'sss

This to me is a very fair price for a very good car in terms of condition and specification, yes you can buy cheaper but then you end up spending more in the longer term putting all the problems right and just keeping the GT Turbo on the road.
