Thinking Of Selling Mk3 Cupra

[slippy]

Evening all

Bought wor lass this for Christmas and she loves everything about it bar the suspension/ride so I bought and fitted the H&R Cup kit and admittedly the ride is better and handling is tranformed, not that's is high on her list of priorities but for what she is using it for it's to focused so thinking of flogging it for something a bit more lady friendly unless any of you chaps can recommend a kit that will soften it

Thanks in advance

Seat sport kit. I ran it for a year or so and it was really good, softer than standard, lowered it by only 15mm but handled well.
Or KW coilovers wich i run now and even with the car droped loads it still has a perfect ride.

How much softer though mate

 

[Craig!]

All Cupra & Sport suspension is going t be firm and crashy, why not fit the 1.4 suspension and get some different springs to match the weight of the front of the car?

 

[slippy]

Could be an option but I don't want to kill the look and handling, bit of a catch 22 really

Could a Silver CUpra for sale shortly if anyone is interested

how much would you flog it for ?
could always p/x for my 1.4 ??

Sorry but i don't know how to measure softness I'm sure some one on here who has the kit could take you for a spin if you offer some beer tokens.

1.4 nee chance mate sorry

I paid 5k and have put on the H&R kit, Badger 5's hubcentric spacers and a Forge DV007 however I am fully aware you don't get your money back mods so not sure what to put it up at if I do sell it

mileage, cambelt changed, service history?

m0rk sold his very tidy Y reg yellow Mk3 cupra a few weeks ago for £4250 if I remember rightly.

All of the above I don't want this to turn into an advert or I'll probably get told off

As for m0rks car I have seen a few on Autotrader etc for more and some go for less so not really relevant but thanks for your input

 

[slippy]

Just re read that and I might have come across a bit 'up yours' ish so apologies if it did

did say i would give you some cash aswell as my 1.4

 

[slippy]

You'd have to give your right arm whilst you were on mate

She'd chop my chod off if I sold her Cupra and replaced it with a 1.4

 

[si-mate]

No worries mate. Don't forget though a car is only worth what someone will pay for it.

 

[slippy]

Your right mate, I would say somewhere between 4.5k-5k seems to be the going rate but have not really looked into properly yet

 

[slippy]

Think I have narrowed it down to either a new shape Celica, Clio 172/182 or a Golf GTI

 

[slippy]

Right, there will be an advert appearing shortly for one pampered Silver MK3 Ibiza Cupra so if anyone wants first shout drop me a PM or give me a buzz 079200 28206

Cheers


****ing boilers eh who'd have them

you're right

it was priced to sell - with haggling 'not an option' and was sold the same day...

no point messing about for 500 quid or so and wasting however many days cleaning over & over, waiting in for people to not turn up, fuel costs for test drives etc ect - so I took the exec decision to sell for what it's worth - and to be honest, it's all they are worth IMO
