Just ordered Altea 2.0TDi Sport with 17" alloys in Platinum, delivery 1st March 05.
Sorry to see the Cupra go, as a company car it's been serious fun but as i pay for my own fuel its been getting very expensive lately.

Worked out that betweeen fuel and benefit I will save at least £100 a month, so I can go out and buy that Ducati and have justification with the missus (well thats what i keep telling myself).

Also looking forward to not having every Chav in a Saxo/Corsa riding up my chuff or trying it on at the lights!

good stuff - you will not be dissappointed. I also went from a leon cupra to an Altea 2.0TDi Sport in platinum.

The engine has plenty of midrange pull so you can still suprise people...but forget the traffic light grand prix. :D

Not a lot, always difficult to tell when your trading in. Still going to try and sell the Cupra privately before March then maybe rework the deal on a cash basis.

Other thing to consider is thats is company car so wasn't really trying as hard as if it was my own cash.

Trade in £10.5K when seem to going from anywhere between £9.5 and £12k on Autotrader website.

That trade in doesn't seem too bad - i traded mine in (with leather) on an 03 plate last new years eve and got £12k for it against my current Ibiza TDI Sport. It also had high miles too - 16k over exactly 6 months so looks like you got quite a good price for it mate
