What issues are normal with the mk1 coops? Thinking of buying but not sure how well the 20vt may have aged?

coil packs
seals around some cupra doors leak
ive had mine for a month or so and ive had no problems with it

Vacume and breather pipes splitting causing leaks.

So nothing too serious then?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Not as far as I'm aware......and most things can be sorted via the knowledge from this lot

Looking at a 2004 with 98 k miles for 6500 stg reasonable nick full seat service history. To many miles or good u think?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Is that £6500? and it must be a R?

If so thats quite a lot of miles? Theres been a few threads recently on the prices and I'm pretty sure you can get lower miles for that price?

Might be worth flicking back through last few pages or doing a search

It is a Cupra R mate thanks for your advice, well he said he would do it for stg 6300 which isnt much of a discount

Theres also a few for sale on here to give you a rough idea on price.

Auto trader always gives a good guide although prices seem to vary across the country.

is a bit pricey for that mileage, not that it wouldn't do you proud you would just expect to see it a bit cheaper. Are you prepared to cross the water for one?

 

[the saint irl]

For Cupra R 6500 seems to be about right to behonest its just the mileage thats putting me offmind u thats a bit leggy they tend to be arround 70 k miles now.

Certainly , I have gone to England for a MK2 GTI b4 and it was a cracking car. The flights are cheap and the Ferry is reasonable. I just need to be confident im not buying a lemon after the 1.2 Ibiza disaster(the engine died big time saturday)

Well if yous think its pricey for mileage then i will stay clear. No one knows their cupras like cupra owners.
