SOLD - 1999 FTO GX for sale

Postby CJ » Mon Jun 28, 2010 1:16 pm

Regrettably, we've decided to sell the GX, room needs to be made on the driveway for something more frugal which means the FTO must go.

I imported this car myself back in March '08 with 93k kms on the clock, I was surprised at how clean it was at the time and I'm happy to say that its retained its condition as can be seen from the pics below. The car is relatively standard with some minor additions, my emphasis was on keeping the car in good running order. This is a fine example of a late model facelift FTO in excellent condition, it will be difficult to find a car in such good condition for the money. Car can be viewed @ the Terenure show this weekend. Heres the low-down:

Service history:

The car has some service history from Japan, in more recent times, the following has been undertaken:

93k kms - 6 x NGK Iridium plugs, timing belt / tensioner, water pump, coolant change.
96k kms - engine oil + filter change
104k kms - engine oil + filter change, gearbox oil change (70w90)
110k kms - current mileage, oil + filter change 30th June

Engine:

1990cc 6A12 V6, ITG Maxogen induction kit.

Transmission, brakes & suspension

5 speed manual box, twin pot front calipers and disks from a GPX fitted last year, Greenstuff front pads, Expelir lowering springs

Exterior:

Passion red paintwork in good condition, Cibie front fogs, clear front indicators, rear light cluster and side indicators wrapped in red tint film, standard FTO sideskirts, standard 16" FTO alloys (refurbished last year) with Vredestein 205/50/26 tyres (less than 10k kms), 4.3k HID driving lights.

Interior:

Aluminium dial rings, Kenwood stereo, standard Momo steering whell, aftermarket Momo gear knob, seats carpets and mats all in good condition.

Equipped with alarm /immobiliser / central remote locking,

Tax: 09/10
NCT: 07/11

Price: €2900
New price: €2650

FFS, that's a serious car for the money. This will sell fast. I bought your last FTO GPX.... but I'm not in a position to buy this one.... lucky the person who is looking for an FTO at the moment!

Thanks for the comments lads. In an ideal world, I'd like to garage the car to retain its condition, however, I'd be denying someone the opportunity to own and enjoy a mint FTO ;)

I have a guy in Holland who wants to buy it. He's also buying a few other things here. If he sends you a bank giro for €4600 (€2900 for the car, €1000 for the shipping and €700 for the other things he's getting would you cash it and give the money to the other parties involved?

(People actually fall for it which is the funny part)
Currently in my collection:
'98 Toyota Starlet...
'79 Mini Clubman 1380cc ~100BHP (I hope)
'79 BMW 728

She's still for sale guys, I've had a handful of calls but so far, no sale. I would like to see this car staying in the fold so if anyone is in the market for a clean FTO, look no further....

Price drop to €2650 to generate a bit of interest, I'm willing to listen to sensible offers.

Sold! A forum member took the GX off my hands this evening, I was dismayed wtahcing it driving away. On the flip side, the new owner (who I will let reveal themselves) is as picky as I am so I know the car is in good hands. Its been quite some time since the driveway has been bereft of an FTO, what next I wonder....

Commiserations on the sale and congrats to the new owner morelike.
