High-mileage LCR: Worth spending money on?
- Thread starter AntneeUK
- Start date
I do agree 100% though
im like you i have lots of things that need doing but small amounts of money to play with, to get it how i want it will take along time
but i would take your time with it and build it up when you can afford to, i wouldn't get shot of it just because of the mileage, i mean the engine is very strong in the cupra r and 100k miles is nothing as long as you keep it well serviced, and maintained it should be fine
Getting a lower mileage car just to start again would be pointless and you never know something may go wrong with it unknown issues lets face it most of cupra r's have a hard life sad but true
keep a plan of mods and then cross them off, im trying to do one thing a month to improve the car before to long things will get done
don't forget most performance companies if your planning on doing a few things can work out a reduced price i.e labour rates

Don't be put off by high mileage. There's a Toledo (booted Leon type) taxi running around here with nearly 400k on it, and that's only an 02 plate.

I'll be in Chesterfield on the 12th & 13th Feb most likely so you can test mine if i'm about
are you coming to the derby meet this wednesday? if you are ill take it for a spin if you want and you can take mine out, compare.
Jason, are you coming up to get your callipers sorted?
Liam, won't be making this one on Wednesday. Did the last two but will do the Chesterfield meet on Sunday instead

I didn't think about that actually but would be a good idea. I am coming to get drunk your town, I know some bar staff in Pacific.
My town? You're coming to Chesterfield to go out in Mansfield? If you're around though I'd love to try yours out. I'm off work all week that week
Sorry, I got confused and thought you lived in Chesterfield, then remembered our convo in the spotted thread 
. I'll be in Chesters all weekend so if you are about, you're more than welcome to try a Stage 1 LCR out.

IMO AntNeeUK I would scrap it and get an S3!! hehe!!
No, I would keep at it, as its in good nick, and you would be wasting the cash you have already spent. As a late friend of Pumapeople said, you should buy on condition, not milage! Just look at Vlad on 69,000, and he's more mint that ones I've seen on 20k. After my hi-res pic though, you should get new nuts! Oh, and new ones for the wheels too! hahaha!
Get the wheels done at Lepsons too!
