Burny Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Year: 1998Model: Glanza VTax: 31/10/2013MOT: July 2014Mileage: 140,000 mix of kms and miles (about 95,000 miles)Description: With much regret i am selling my beloved Glanza. I have owned this car nearly 3 years and have cherished it, regularly washed and waxed with no expense spared throughout the build and tuning developments carrying out all of the work, no monkeys have ever touched this car throughout my ownership. The tax runs out at the end of October and my original plan was to break it for parts which is what most people seem to do with high spec builds, however i would love someone to take the full car off my hands and look after her just like i have, it would be a great shame to see it leave my drive in the form of various parts. The reason i am selling is because my EK9 has been sat on my drive all summer since being imported in January and i don't want to be forking out big money to insure them both next year. The Glanza was imported in 2008 and i bought it early 2011. The bottom end starting knocking in the summer of 2011 in which i had to wait a few months to book it in to Tuning Developments, they then had the car around October and i received her back in July 2012 taking almost 9 months to complete. I driven the car for 3 months only in 2012 as she was then SORN for the winter months until May of this year. The engine has only covered around 4,000 miles since being built by TD and has had very regular oil changes which i have receipts to prove. Tuning Developments also run this engine in their selves as i did not think it would be a wise idea for me to do it on a busy M6 on the way home driving at constant rev speeds. I always give the engine a good 5 minutes to warm up before i even take it off the drive let alone hitting boost, i also let her cool down regardless of the way i was driving fast or slow. The car has a Viper alarm system which has remote control start and built in turbo timer which is great for these purposes, you can literally start the car on the fob whilst finishing your breakfast! This is a very high spec Glanza which has never let me down since the build, i must also add i used this car as a daily all summer! One thing i do ask is please do not contact me if you are going to try low ball me as you may not have a nice reply. I also do not want to swap for your nans Nova, I have spent a lot of money on this car and its killing me to see it go without people taking the p***. Here goes for the spec!

This car is very very quick and will make your average evo look like he is stuck in reverse. First to see will buy! Price: £6750, yes this is an expensive Glanza but you pay for what you get. This car owes me around £15,000 in the three years i have owned it, my one bill at TD was more than the advertised price alone!
