buying

Hi everyone, I'm new. :) I'm hopefully going to look at a Seat Ibiza 2.0l 16v at the weekend, and I was just wondering if there was anything in particular I would need to look out for, i.e. common faults, problems etc. Any help would be great!!! :clap:

Hey guys, Went to look at my second possible cupra yesterday but there was one thing is putting me off. When the owner started the engine there were 3 beeps (similar to low fuel beep!) and a red flashing light on the coolant temperature guage but both went out after 5 secs or so...

Hi everyone. At the end of month I'm going to be selling my Ibiza. When I bought it it was completely standard, still is apart from the K+N 57i kit to improve throttle response. So a few questions. 1. Would you rather buy one of these cars with the standard filter in place, or one...

Hi Chaps, Probably not really the right forums to post this, but I figure after reading around you're the most active forum I can find on SEAT so I'd be really grateful if you'd be able to offer me some advice. I'm looking to buy a car, and I've narrowed my sights down to either the Leon, or...

I am interested in buying a Sport 1.4, and was directed towards a pre-registered model on sale for £8995. There was no discount offered, and I do not know much about buying a new car, therefore does anyone have any advise for a newbie on buying, and what sort of discount is expected ? does...

Hello, A friend is offering to sell me his LCR 225. He got it new from a dealer in September 2003, drove it only 1000 km (yes, that's right, only 1000 km) nad then stored it in a covered garage until now. Last time the car was started (but not driven) was January this year. Battery is...

Hi im buying a 2000/1 mk3 ibiza cupra within the next few weeks, hopefully one with a remap to approx 200/210 bhp. Im wondering the part number or spec or even a link for a laguna dci intercooler instead of buying an expensive forge one i understand this is as good as buying a forge one can...

Sorry if this sort of thread gets posted all the time I would imagine it would (although suprisingly a search didn't return too many results). I am currently looking to replace my shed of an orion (just going round the clock on a J plate). I have found what I think is a great deal, 51...

I have been reading alot on this forum and am seriously thinking of buying a LCR, i have used the search button but didnt find anything specific. So could the Turbo experts/ LCR owners here give me some tips/advice on how to look after a Turbo car cos i've never owned a turbo car. Thanks...

Hi all I've seen 2 LCRs for sale at my local seat dealer in Teignmouth. They're both registered in Nov05. One is Platinum Grey with 4200 miles, One is Artic Grey with 3800 miles. Both are selling for £15,750. I really want one but something is bugging me in the back of my mind...

Alrighty guys, I'm looking for a used LCR just now. Apart from the usual checks for dings/general abuse what LCR-specific faults should I look out for? Ta in advance, Mark.
