The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.

  • 95 Vento GL Auto for sale. Decision time - pay the Reg. or sell it as is?

    Sadly it's crunch time - the rego. on my daughter's Vento Auto is due, and she has decided it's time to go - the Vento, that is. The car has served her well for 6 years since I bought it for her, with it's share of (usual) problems all being sorted out as they happened. It's tidy and reliable so would make a great car for someone wanting a smart set of wheels at a budget price. I would put it in the For Sales Section, but I don't seem to be able to post there, though I've been a member since 2006. I have posted before, but perhaps I haven't introduced myself properly. Will this do - our VW fleet includes a Mk 1 Golf 1.8 used for competition, a Mk 2 GTi 16V to keep me happy and a '09 Jetta 103TDI as a daily driver and caravan tow vehicle for holidays?

    Anyway back to the Vento - it can be had for $950 without Reg. or RWC, or $1650 with 12 mnths Reg plus RWC at cost (probably only 2 tyres and new windscreen). PM me or call on 0425 722 706 for more details and I can send some pics.
    The car is at Ferntree Gully, 30km east of Melbourne.

      OK, thanks for the heads up, Dylan8.

      FS - 1995 Vento GL. 235xxx kms, quite tidy and very original. Rego has just expired but still can be renewed. Close to RWC as mentioned above. Many recent new parts including battery, distributor & coil (it broke down on the freeway last week )
      Mid blue metallic duco (some scratches but not faded or peeling) with usual grey cloth interior. Everything works - all power windows and Central locking. Starts & runs well, but auto tends to kick down more often than it should.

      I will post some pics on Sat. once I master Photobucket.

      Other queries welcomed, and it would be great if I could get this listed in Cars for Sale. Will probably sell to best offer after a few weeks - there is no space at home.

      TIA, John

          So much to learn as a Forum Newbie.

          I'm having a crash course on Photobucket now, so photos should be available sooooon.

          Your location might be an issue though, as car is in Melb.

                        Thanks for the interest shown in the Vento. Things are moving - rego is now paid & someone looking at it tomorrow.

                        One more pic - the original alloy wheels. I can't believe they are 15's - the arches look so empty



                        Cheers,
