Hi all, this is my first post here on the SeatCupra.Net forums, I have looked around and found that not many (if any) existing threads cover the information I'm looking for. So I hope this thread won't nullify itself as soon as I publish this.
I've recently picked up a 2004 Leon Cupra R with a whopping 203,500 Miles.
The reason the mileage didn't instantly turn me away was because of the absolutely immaculate service history. This car has had 1 Owner from new & been serviced regularly at SEAT for the first 7 years, and then moving on to a garage for the remaining 6 years of it's ownership. It is due a Cambelt & Water Pump, as well as a general check over just to make sure everything is still running as it should.
I'm asking on here if anyone knows how sturdy these BAM engines are? Will it be capable of withstanding another few years of abuse, of course with proper maintenance & servicing? As much as I do love this car (I upgraded from a 1.6 MK2 Clio) I do get quite paranoid about the fact that this car has almost covered as many miles as it takes to reach the Moon, literally.
I appreciate any advice & tips given, and of course if this is in the wrong section then please go ahead & move it to the corresponding area.
