Ok, so time to write my advert for my Touran

We bought it from Camerons VW just over 2 years ago now. But our situation changed almost as soon as we bought it and its a little big for what we need.

So here it is:

Full VW service history upto 94,000 miles (when we bought it) History from then until now is with a local garage & I can provide a print out of everything thats been done to it - along with receipts for parts fitted too.

Mk5 GTi front brakes (312mm)

Just replaced the old coilover with new FK's not 2 weeks ago

18" VW Phateon Champion alloys with Falkens all round (fronts were new in April, I swopped them to the back and put another new pair on when the new suspension went on)

Headlight protectors fitted - along with 2008 spec tail lights (these will fail an MOT by themselves as no reflectors)

Heko wind deflectors

Debadge grill is available too - but its currently back to the original grill with a black VW badge

Performance air filter fitted to the air box and ducting all removed

Remapped by Angel Tuning upto about 140bhp (105 as std)

Pioneer Double din - Blue tooth and ipod kit fitted.

(I still have all the std parts for the car also)

You could either have it as it sits - or I can put everything back to std.

I also have a full Jap-spec setup for the front bumper strip and the rearplate too

Now for the price - this is a tough one. Its now on 115K (this will increase daily as its our main car at the moment), which is nothing for these engines as you will know. Its been a great car, just no longer required. Its recently had a lot of work done to it in, new front wishbone bushes and mounts, new radiator fan pack, new suspension, new tyres. MOT is due at the beginning of november & I see no issues with it passing lots more of them. The bodywork has a couple of scratches on the a pillar on the drivers side as a couple of winters ago the wipers acted up meaning a full new wiper linkage and 2 new motors fitted by Camerons VW. If its ever needed anything then its been done - no expense spared.

These rarely come up for sale privately (there are only 20 for sale in the UK just now) and none of them have the mods of this one - especially the Phateon rims!

So £4750ono as it sits and i'll get a new MOT put on it too

or I take all the parts off it & it goes for £4000 totally std.

The vehicle is availabel to view in Crieff from now - but wont actually be available to purchase/collect until after the 7th October (wedding in Reading to go to)

If you want to call me and ask me about the car please do so - 07904195857

Assume 1.9tdi PD105? (originally)

Any interior wear and tear? Any interior pics?

5 or 6 speed box?

Yep - its a PD105 6 speed - I can get interior pics no problem - there are a few scuffs on the plastic in the boot (previous owner had a dog and dog guards) but there are no rips or tears in the seats and we are non-smokers also.

Could just do with a Vax on the seats, just down to the kids etc

I dont have any further pics of the interior at the moment, but its easy enough to go and get some for you tomorrow morning?

Just to confirm you said it's a 6spd box? Thought all the PD105s ran a 5.

Have a guy at work who might be interested in this - might be a bit too 'tweaked' for him though

Yes its a 6 speed box. All the touran diesels are 6 speed on this age. they only lost their 6th gear with the newer 1.6 TDi

If its took weaked for him then I can put it all back to std in a weekend and take less £££ money for him no problem - I have all they original parts still. I know i'm in Scotland, but there is a train station in Perth and i'm happy to come and collect people from there?

What is the original trim level? Guessing S rather than SE as no front fogs.

AC?

Leccy windows?

Lots of questions in order to attempt to 'sell it' to SWMBO

Sure - its got a/c - and damn it works well - even the glovebox is airconditioned - keeps the cans of juice cold!. Electric windows on the front - keepfit ones in the back

Yes its an S. All the seats work - we have found it great having the seats fold flat in the boot - i've even fitted a whole Polo front end (inc subframe, engine & gearbox in there on a pallet - its huge!)

Forgot to mention its the Black Pearlescent paint too & the roof rails are std fitment

:( SWMBO likes the car but doesn't like the age and mileage.

If it sells as standard, I'll take first refusal on the mods

You wont find one the same spec for similar mony - if the age and the mileage is putting her off - it has a full service history with no expense spared. Timing belt and water pump was done at 86K & its one of the very first ones so no DPF issues. And its very cheap compared to other ones available - only reason is that i've put a deposit on a new car already. So it has to go!

I hear you chap. If it was solely my decision i'd be on the train.

With SWMBO being the main driver she wants the reassurance of lower mileage = reliabilty. I know, I know. :(

Lower mileage doesn't guarantee more reliability! You know that! Maybe on older cars. But not on a vw! They just loosen up with age

This car will be being changed back to std on the 8th October. After that date offers can be made depending on spec!

will the mods be for sale? in particular the wheels

There is no such thing as "not for sale" - depends on the £££

LOL

A very nicely modded touran

However, I think you'd do better selling the mod's seperately and listing it more or less standard on Ebay. The potential market for a simple to insure (i.e standard), practical, economical Touran is decent (the most direct competition being a zafira - which is shocking)

The potential market for a modded people carrier is much smaller unfortunately, but yours looks a very nice one

I'm guessing the phaeton alloys are 18x8 5x112? - what's the offset and do you think big brakes would fit behind them?

Cheers, and best of luck whatever you decide to do

What is the tire size?? 215/40 or 225/40?? Thx

Hasn't this been for sale for ages? Or maybe you where thinking of selling?

G

The advert is from over a year ago!

 

But mmmmmm, Phaeton Champions... 

To be fair, the ad's not been updated or locked as sold - so always worth an ask

 

Wheels do look great!
