Guys

been toying of the idea for ages of swapping my car. not 100% sure what to go for. brain tells me to go eco but my heart says get a porsche your only young haha.

i have written my forsale thread but im not 100% sure what its really worth this being the key figure on if i decide to sell or not.

here is my AD forgive me if this looks like a forsale thread but truely its not!!!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok so the time has come to sell my pride and joy. Genuine reason for sale it just doesn’t get used any more. I live a 5 mins walk from work and the misses has a small city car which we do all the running around in.

So im selling my 2007 57 Reg Seat Leon Cupra 240 TFSI.

I will be 100% honest with regards to my car as id hate for some one to come miles to view and not be happy.

Purchased 25/03/11 with 30,204 Miles on the clock from Evans Hawshaw Ford Dealer in Bedford. Alex from AKS Tuning came down and gave the car a once over and insisted the car was perfect which lead to me handing over my hard earned cash.

In my ownership I have had 2 issues with my car. 1st being Clutch Slip after going to Stage 1 Remap and the 2nd the dreaded TCS light stuck on my dash for the G201 ABS pressure sensor fault. Alex at AKS tuning again supplied and fitted an uprated Sachs Clutch and a new ABS unit. Whilst the car was in I had the Subframe Shimes/Spacers fitted to stop the annoying clunking when turning.

• Infero Black (Metallic Black with Red spec’s looks almost Purple on a Sunny day pic below).
• 40,000 miles. (Will rise very slowly)
• FSH.
• Taxed until End April 2013.
• MOT until End April 2013.
• 18” Cupra Wheels.
• Fabric seats (CUPRA embroided buckets).
• Seat Car Mats
• 2 Keys.
• Bi Xenon Headlights.
• Front Fog Light.
• Cruise Control.
• PAS/ABS/TCS.
• Electric Folding and Heated Mirrors.
• Climate Control.
• Drivers, Passenger and Side Airbags.
• Factory tinted windows
• Steering wheel stereo controls

And what ever else you normally get on the Seat Leon Cupra model.

Service History

1. 12/09/09 – Seat Dealer – 9587 Miles – Service.
2. 26/08/09 – Seat Dealer – 17239 Miles – Service.
3. 13/09/10 – Seat Dealer – 26415 Miles – Service.
4. 25/03/11 – Ford Dealer – 30204 Miles – Service.
5. 01/05/11 – PERSONAL – 32,000 Miles – Cam Follower Changed.
6. 29/07/11 – Jabba Motorsport – 34385 Miles – Cambelt and Water Pump.
7. 03/04/12 – Autology Garage Norwich – 37773 Miles – Service.
8. 01/05/12 – AKS Tuning – 38014 Miles - Brake Fluid Only.

I have added the following performance modifications.

• P-Flow Airfilter fitted at 32,700 Miles.

• Eibach Sportline lowering springs fitted at 33,000 miles. Wheel alignment\tracking was carried out after fitting the new suspension printout to prove.

• Stage 1 Remap (295bhp completed by JabbaMotorSport near Peterborough who is one of the sites sponsors). Car now drives much smoother and actually has better mpg economy (36mpg if I drive sensibly) – fitted at 34,385 Miles.

• Full Blueflame Turbo Back Exhaust with a 200cell CAT, with Powerflex Yellow lower engine mount insert. fitted at 36,942 miles.

• Forge Side to Side Quick Shifter also fitted at 36,942 miles.

• Uprated Sachs Clutch fitted at 38,014 miles by AKS Tuning.


I have also done the following Cosmetic Modification.

• Carbon Vynal Side Seal Protectors with SeatCupra.net stickers.

• Vynal Tinted Rear Lights/Reflectors and Side Repeaters.

• Modified Engine Cover to allow fitting with the P-Flow Filter.

• Ghost Chrome (tinted) S Badges front and Rear also Front Grill.

• Brodit A-Pillar Mount with iPhone 4 Mount included.

• Carbon Fibre Key Cover


*** Original parts can be provided to the buyer if the buyers wishes to revert the car back to standard***
• Standard Springs
• Standard Full Turbo Back Exhaust
• Uncut Engine Cover with Air filter built in

Also ill throw in a Spare Bottom Bracket for the Down Pipe. These are prone to breaking so I got a spare from Blueflame just incase.

The car is in absolutely superb condition and drives faultlessly. With the 200cell Sport CAT you will not need to swap come MOT Time. Sport Cat was fitted for last MOT and it sailed straight through no issue. The car will be truly missed as its probably the best car I have owned.

The only bad points I can think of are the Curbed Wheels (pictures below) and the 1 very small Car Park Ding on the passenger wing (also pictured below).

Maintained regardless of cost, all receipts kept with all previous MOT's etc

Located in Norwich

Asking Price £XXXXX

8 to 9 is what i was thinking too.

is it worth spending the money to get it stripped and then sell seperately?? i mean its probably going to cost about £200 to remove it all

springs are worth what £60?? exhaust a few hundred??

seem like a chore to me lol.

I thnk you would be lucky to get £8k based on what my 2007 car was valued at back in 2010 when I traded it in and how things are in the real world right now. I think I would struggle to get £12k for mine in a private sale if sold as standard as things are right now and its a 60 plate with 20k miles and Tech Pack.

Identical car to mine and I paid 10k at the beginning of the year with 24k on it, probably worth around 8k now with 34k on it

I sold mine in may with similar spec to yours on an 07 with 30 odd k miles on it for 9k,since then i looked at coming back to a cupra and the prices were similar.Also there are not many about for sale with the clutch done which is a big plus ... and i know there are a few mk1 owners looking to change soon.. I would put it up at 9.5k. There are some standard examples for less but i looked at a few and they were all shite... if i wasnt getting my bmw tomorrow i would have made you an offer

Mate 9.5k is waaaaaaaay optimistic.
I looked a few days ago at a part ex for a 60 plate RS3 (just out of sheer interest). FOr my august 2010 Cupra R with 19k they offered me £13800 trade in. And that was there best price!
