Mk1 cupra r

That’s been for sale for a while too I think.
It’s pretty unique with that sort of mileage so depends on what you’re willing to pay for it.
Me personally I wouldn’t be bothered paying that much for a Cupra R but most would say it’s too much.
If it’s what you want go for it.

Yeah, I saw it had been up a few times. If I had enough to give a reasonable offer, I would. But I didn't want to insult him. I'm thinking of saving up a bit more for a few months, and hopefully it's still for sale. But you never know, I might find one in my price range before then

 

[jlv81]

I bought it ?

Wow what a great first car, I would have loved to have one of these as mine now and as the first.

Enjoy the motor and start a build thread so we can all see what you have.

 

[jlv81]

Yeah, I'm well happy. It's in great condition. I doubt I'll do much to it. It's getting delivered on Sunday

 

[Nathan penney]

Amazing. Well done fella.
Welcome to the world of Cupra R ownership.

 

[jlv81]

Cheers, I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of the.best examples in the uk. I'm definitely going to look after it

Some pics if her

 

[Nathan penney]

Looks amazing.
Bet you can’t wait to get behind the wheel.

 

[jlv81]

She looks brand new inside, and so clean underneath. Yeah, I've got my theory in a few weeks. Then book my practical for as soon as possible. I'll just have to run her for a while each weekend. She's got a cover on to keep of the rain etc. Needs an mot in a couof months, so I'll have to get insured as a learner and get a mate in the car. And then go out in her each weekend with L plates on ???

Meant to ask, what age are you if you don’t mind me asking?
I did an insurance quote for my lad on mine but as if it was his car and his insurance policy at 17 and cheapest price was £17,000 for the first year.
He’s only 13 so we’ve a while to go yet.
Surprisingly he can get an MGZR 1.4 insured for less than a VW up or anything else 1.0 for £2400 a year with a black box.
Insurance baffles me sometimes.

I'm 43, bit I used to live in London. So never needed a car. So.never done my test. The insurance for me is £1800 or £155 pm

That explains it.
My lad was very excited when I told him how much you’d been quoted, then disappointed when I did that quote for him. Lol
That explains it then.
Good luck with your tests etc.

??? When I do pass, I'll have to find some seat car meets to show her off. Do you think I should keep her standard? @Nathan penney

100%!
Personal choice obviously but I’m all about standard.
Especially with the low mileage, but as I say it’s personal choice.

 

[jlv81]

That's what I thought ss well

Does anyone know what are good replacement speakers? I don't want to change the head unit, but the speakers are **** after level 19. So just some that can handle the standard unit power
