You should also look at OBD11 as there are a number of features you can turn on that wont be enabled by Seat.
If you don't like Tech then Carista does some of the stuff and requires no understanding of car setup.
Check what make the tyres are, Michelin PS4S Is the best currently,
Ensure all the Lights (front and rear) work well as they are very expensive to replace.
Rear Brake lights have been know to have cracks and water get in them.
If you have the white edging on the front seats check for cracking
Make sure the car has been serviced well and that the Front Diff (Haldex Dif) and DSG Gearbox have had oil changes.
Have you checked with your insurance company.
I think if you look for a company that offers a modified car policy, opposed to a standard car policy with modifications, you'll find it's cheaper. Adrian Flux are usually a good bet. You get a discount for saying you're a member of this forum
I was paying around £340-500 a various points for my last car. I'm at £550 now for my current.
Good to hear! What colour and spec is it?
Same year as mine, they are the best build (but I would say that would i not).
Did you check the Gearbox and Front diff had been serviced
If it's from a SEAT dealership you can try to request that those services are carried out before you pick up the car
I wouldn't say it's a no go without the services. If you could swindle them as part of the deal, it would save a bit of money. DSG service would cost between £150-300 depending on where you, and the diff service would be between £150-200 depending where you go. Some people have sourced the parts themselves and done it for a lot less. If you have a good relationship with your local garage, you could get it at cost price parts and reduced labour.
I have two comments on this purchase.
1/ The cupra280 is a great motor you will just love it and it keeps you smiling
2/ Oil Changes are very important make sure you follow the recommended servicing intervalse.
Check out Paddy's signature there is a link to the Seat Workshop manuals that tell you what and when.
