I am now the owner of..

[LiCkWiD]

... a 2003, SEAT Leon Cupra!

I pick the little beauty up on Saturday with a years tax, valet, body-work revitalisation and a years dealer warranty.. all for £5995!

This better damn well be the fastest week of my life!!!

I'll replace this pics with some I've taken myself once it's safely in my care

Nice car mate. See you paid the asking price....

 

[nibbles]

Looking good start the countdown

 

[willbatch]

Good price isnt it??

 

[LiCkWiD]

Unfortunately for me there was a fella there when I arrived, offering £200 less than asking price.

If I didn't pay full whack, I'd of lost it. So I bit the bullet. Still a good deal, IMO. The aftersales from this garage is, apparently, very good.

I'm happy.

Yeah cheap for a 20v turbo think of the poor sod who paid the full asking price when it was new! hehe. Any mods planned?

Lee is your inbox full I can't reply to your pm?

 

[LiCkWiD]

Yes mate. Revo first, Forge DV and Milltek system before long. And I'll go from there.

Gonna have some fun with this car. Cannot wait to pick it up

 

[daveyonthemove]

Still a good price. Shame you had to pay full asking price though. Always nice to walk away having got them to knock a few hundred off.

 

[Pabs]

out of interest, how many miles on the clock?

 

[RikH]

nice car mate, well done on seeing it through!

 

[LiCkWiD]

Ta RikH.

Pabs: 66,000.

I forgot to say, it has full and complete FSH included.

I'm v. pleased, seriously.

 

[Pabs]

well done matey!

Just interested in mileage as I wondered how much mine was currently worth.. and it seems its not much

 

[LiCkWiD]

It does appear to be a buyers market :< Frustrating once you're on this side of the fence.

 

[DamoR]

Pabs your not selling your car as well as all your bits that are in the for sale section are you

*** Off topic
It would appear that its not worth it AT ALL, mainly for the value it'd have to go on the market for. I wouldn't save any money by selling it and getting a different car - so i may as well keep her and run it into the ground.
But i do love the car though - and driving it's great

Back on topic ***

Thats a seriously good price! I see pre-facelifts (2001) on sale for £6995!

well done!

 

[CHR15B]

Fantastic price!

 

[LiCkWiD]

Hehe, thanks guys. I snapped her up, basically. While waiting at the garage, I haf a chat with a 18ish year old bloke/kid that did odd-jobs around the place. Including uploading new cars to their site and Autotrader.

He said he'd had the Cupra up for almost 48hrs and it'd received 12 e-mails and three requests for test-drives. Not to mention general telepone enquiries.. mileage etc.

I'm sure they all say this stuff, but I know enough about Leons now to spot a good deal when I see one.

Glad I took the step and dropped Ford as my manufacturer as choice

Saturday is gonna take forever :S

I've got one or two questions though. Forgive my ignorance, but I forgot to check whether or not it has rain-sensing wipers as standard And secondly, do rear head-rests come as standard? Sounds like a retarded question and I'm damn well sure they should do. Currently I don't have them.

Dealer recons he's going to chase them down, but he wasn't sure if they're standard or not either :S Can't say I've thought about it before. Heh.

 

[cordobabrendy]

no wipers are manual with 4 point auto wipe on the first click up, head rests are standard. next step ....REVO!

 

[LiCkWiD]

Ta So basically, for rain-sensors.. I need to put them on Auto?

And yes, 100% Revo. I was going to get it asap, like, within a week of picking it up.. and then I decided to learn the car without.. therefore appreciating the remap more once I finally get it
