Looking at getting a Cupra, is this expensive?

[NWhiteley]

I went looking at a Leon Cupra today, really liked the car, but i have a feeling that it is way over priced.

Its here... http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-u...cleYearOfManufacture=2007&vehicleRegLetter=07

It has Xenons, SatNav, Bluetooth and the K1 kit, so its pretty well speced, but is it worth that sort of money?

 

[m0rk]

erm yeah.. you can buy newer with 20k+ fewer miles

Well im chopping in my 09 K1 same spec and 10000 miles and the dealer is giving me 16.5k for it

I would say its at least £3500 - £4000 over priced. Why not buy a standard Cupra and fit an Aero/K1 kit on it and you will still have a car nearly £3k cheaper.....

That's heavy depreciation. What are going changing to if you don't mind me asking?

Saying that I paid £16k for my Cupra that had 8700 miles on as an ex-demo back in December '07.

The K1's seem to be in demand, could you not get a better offer?

Yeah, but how will the dealer make any money?

I am also thinking along those lines, so i will leave it a while and see if the dealer reduces the price to a more realistic level. Cheers everyone!

 

[RickyD1975]

True. The dealer will put it up for £18000 - £18500 and sell it for £17500+

I paid 14k for my 07 plate with 9000 on the clock just 2 months ago, so yes as others have pointed out it is a touch expensive.

That is real expensive for the reg, i paid just over 12k last week for a 07 standard cupra, with just over 30k on the clock, u gotta play the dealers game and tell him what you want!

FR TDi! My job has changed and im doing 2500 miles a month. The fuel costs are crippling me
Gonna be a sad day but its only a car after all

 

[InfernalBadger]

I paid that much for mine when it was essentially brand new (ex-demo that hadn't left the showroom).

Ok, it's not got satnav or xenons (I don't class the K1 kit as being worth any money ), but that's way too much imo.

white k1's carry a premium over the rest of the leon cupras but that one above is expensive.

Have a look at this:

Looks familiar??? Did it belong to someone on here?

Its thr right move and sensible thing to do. I used to do over 50 miles a day and now I only do 14 miles a day. If I still did between 15k - 20k+ miles per year I would also have bought an FRTDI.

Get it remapped and you still have fun with 200bhp.

Before I bought the Cupra I test drove a Golf GT 170 Diesel and I was very impressed with it. It was a lot nicer to drive than my old BMW 330d!

Good Luck.....

As every one pointed out it is over priced! And not worth that much! Wait for another one to pop up at a decent price. Or just try and get it down. Good luck

After much thought, i think that i will go for the new facelift Cupra, so where is the best place (i mean cheapest) to get one from, now that it looks like Irfan has gone?

Has a guide, from my local dealer (Stoke Seat) I managed to get £1000 off list anf the PX price for my car that I wanted.

After deciding that i didnt want to get another brand new car, i have had 3 in the last 3 years, i found a 58 plate K1 in white for 16k, no sat nav but it does have bluetooth, and got a decent p/x offer for my Golf, so i bought it and pick it up on Tuesday.

great i bet you cannot wait, just get a stage 1 remap and if yolu desperatly want sat nav retro fit it. Roll on next week and get those pictures up !
