Guys,

Looking for an ibiza cupra 1.8t...

Just scouting through ad's etc and came across this car...seller says its a cat c....but been told damage was minimal....now i know cat c is write off and to be weary of it etc but a bargain price for a cupra R if its been mended right...

just wanted to know if anyone had owned this or if they knew of the true extent of the damage??

Reg is FP02 RHX

Any help or comments welcome

I don't know the story of that car, but my Cupra was a cat C. I checked it had had a VIC report, made sure everything was aligned and all the panel gaps were right, and obviously took it for a blast to make sure it ran/drove fine. It did and I got myself a Cupra for pretty much half what people on here want for theirs. Bargain.

 

[andythom]

well thats what i was thinking mate bargain if its straight....i appraise cars for damage at work etc anyway so if i get to see it i should be able to tell....

Plus it means keeping one of the R's alive too...

dont mind the cat C thing at all if its had a good repair

mine was cat C when i bought it, fully repaired and VIC checked
had a new bumper, headlights and cross member due to a front end dink
got it for a bargain price and looks spot on

I wouldnt pay the money that the dealer wants for a cat C Car!#

also if the damage was minimal it would of been a cat D

the damage to mine was minimal, il try n stick a link or a pic up if i can find it...literally was a small crumple to the front but the fact that it had dinked the cross member too upgraded it from cat D to C even though the damage wasnt that significant

+1 think the car is more round the £1800 mark been a cat c, what damage was done to the car ?

 

[andythom]

1800 for a genuine cupra r? I'm going to contact them see what they know...they're not asking much more than tue 1800 right enough

On Autotrader at £2.5k - which is not too bad. Mileage is piling up on it, and they're not exactly "special" cars... not now anyway.

 

[andythom]

I know there not extra special....but if i had the choice it would be an R and if i can get one at that price thats been repaired to a good standard then id be happy

seems good if as ive said the repair is good....pity its a bit far from me to pop by and have a squint at it...

andythom- did you ever find out anything about this car??

 

[andythom]

Nope, nothing... Too far away from me to have a look at too....
