The fact it says it has zenons and it hasn't makes me think otherwise. I say its ok to buy but don't expect nothing back after purchase.

Think you need to check the photos again as the car definitely has h/l washers which I think means it does have xenons. Likely part of the 'winter pack' as it has heated seats too. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong..

I can tell you now that car dose not have xenons, hids maybe which if that's the fact its not an option. Winter pack includes, heated seats, headlight washers (heated) xenons was another £800+ option ontop of winter pack.
 
From what I've seen on previous cars the headlight washers on this car are caps, and they put them on to cover up the holes in place for when people don't have the headlight washers.
 
Fair enough..I thought if it had the h/l washers that meant xenons too...
If it is the 'winter pack' then I think you also get heated washers for the windscreen too..but my memory's not what it used to be..!

From what Luke's saying he'd best look elsewhere anyway..

Haha yes it's good advice.

I live in Bradford unfortunately and only ever bought 1 car from an Approved Dealer here, that was my Skoda Octavia vRS. The area where the car is too really isn't nice, it's the highest uninsured area in the UK and I will leave the rest imagination...
 
Problem is I'm currently Car less awaiting an insurance pay out. I'm currently getting to work with a hire car so can't wait forever for an 07 FR to come up at a decent dealer?

If anybody can link to me a nice FR for about 7k I'd be interested?

Because my car is a write off so don't need a P/X so could even go private

Quiet at work today so had a little browse and found these: (assuming you want DSG like the original you posted and don't mind travelling for a good deal..)

This ones got higher mileage (so service history needs to be right) but only £6700, with good spec and in the best colour..;)

..or a private red one with lower mileage that looks decent, again not exactly local if you were looking around Bradford before..

...and a black one with only 25k that's currently going for £4000 with 4 days left on auction

If you can stretch to £7.5-£8k there are a lot more out there...including my old FR below that I've just noticed the dealer's put on their ebay showroom...probably after refurbing the alloys..!

Good luck...

Hello,

I'm also currently looking to get a LEON FR (had a lot of history here on SCN but nothing with Leons)

Is there any easy way to tell the spec differences. A lot of ads I have viewed just list the basic spec? Buttons on the steering wheel? Larger MFD? Does any of this point to specific extras? I read above, but there seemed to be doubt?

I searched for an original Leon brochure, but couldn't find any PDF's or anything.

Number one rule when buying a car......Do not rush
