When I was looking a few weeks ago, TDi Cupras/FRs with 80k-ish miles on them were around £8-8.5k. Only ones for under £8k had done over 100k miles.
6 grand for one with 90k on the clock is very good - almost too good?

Bought mine last week from a Nissan dealer with 12 months MOT, 12 months tax, 12 months Warranty and full service history for £8.5K. It had 44K on the clock. It's a 53 plate from Feb 2004.
I've got 50mpg on a good motorway run from Wigan to Manchester and I get 37ish around town.

Im buying private - going today for it.
Cant believe the mpg, I used to get 40mpg easy in my 5speed 150bhp 320d manual around town and 50 or so on a run. A mate of mine averages over 55, but does more motorway and has the six speed box.
Oh well, just see how this one goes

If I did 70mph on the motorway with no traffic around, I'd see 55 no probs. But if there's no traffic around, I'm not doing 70mph...
..If you catch my drift
I'm talking buying from trade. Plus, didn't you get your Cupra at a really good price (<£6k)? So you still made a profit selling at what was still a good price for the next buyer
Maybe there's a regional difference too - I certainly haven't seen any for much less than £8k with less than 80k miles up north (I'll have to look further south
)
Ok just bought a December 2004 54 plate FR tdi with 90k full history for £5500
Just needs tyres and tracking doing as 1 tyres was wearing away unevenly
Ive just got all tyres done for £80 fitted and balanced (part worn pilot sports) and going to get it tracking with the hunter dsp 6000 hopefully tomorrow.
Coming back I did 100miles with cruise on around 75mph, showing 60mpg

sorry to hijack again but I am looking to buy one of these but I'm struggling to find a decent one for a good price. I have around 8k to play with and it must be trade as I am part ex'ing my Mazda.
Couple of quick questions, what are the differences (if any) between the cupra and FR models? Also how long will these engines last? Seen a nice example going for £6k but had 120k on the clock which really puts me off. They are hard to find up here in the North East!

As far as i know differences are the FR has matt silver/grey wing covers, cruise control and different wheels - well thats all I can tell between the cupra and FR I've had.
These engines are pretty good and cant expect 200k+ out of them, just as long as servicing is kept up.
I bought mine from Lincoln, but was private and was priced at £7700 on the paper in the window but was advertised cheaper on ebay
