leon cupras

[BEOWULF]

Just been looking on eBay and auto trader also piston heads it seams that the mk1 leon cupra 2000_2002 are going for less the £4000 grand
Why? is this i payed nearly £6000 grand for mine about 18 months ago.
Don't think i am going to get much for mine now

You had me a bit worried then....

I've had mine 1 year 2002 20vt, FSH, 35k currently on the clock, paid £8,500 for it.

But i've just this very second found one on pistion heads a year older than mine with 51k at £5,500 and a 2002 with 39k for £8,500..

I've breathed a sign of releif now....

Tbh, i don't think you should take the prices on ebay very seriously, auto trader is the better option to get a true idea of value...

The ones on PH do seem to pretty cheap tho'.....

petrol's allways seem to depriciate quicker than diesels

it also dosent help that the new leons are out aswell becuase this also affects the cost of older shape cars

Scaning through auto trader the prices of 2000+ preface lift 20vt's are all over the place still.

I found this was the case last year when i was looking for one, and it hasn't changed in the last 12 months..... weird

Theres a 2002 with 68k at almost £6,500, and a 2002 47k at almost £7 thou...


christ what must mine be worth with only 35k on it...

Prices are always all over the place!
Just shop! Someone will always buy it for somethin more than its worth - if you can wait!

I`ve got an `02 pre facelift cupra , paid 9k 2.5 years ago with 29k on the clock . At the time that was a reasonable price . It`s got 54k now but if I sold it what could I get with similar performance for the money ...NOT A LOT!! . I`d probably be looking at 5.5k if I sold it now . I`m going to keep it for a couple more years .

looking to sell mine now, not sure what to ask for it, 2003 face lift, lots of mods, dvd system, 46000 on the clock with full service history. wanna sell private rather than trade in to another car ?

Actually 5.5k would buy a heck of a lot of 90's Jap Turbo, but the Cupra has the best balance of everything, VAG build quality and performance, as we all know

My 02 pre-facelift with 54k on the clock was on the market for £6k, I paid £5,800.

EXACTLY!! , I could sell a 5 yr old car with FSH & buy a 15 yr old import with no service history . I know they go like a rocket BUT I think the skyline is an awful looking car .

id have a jap import of a leon any day, Even with no service history and a dodgey dealer who says i have to start it with a screwdriver.


But at 20 insurence says no.!

btw i got my 05 Diesel Leon for just short of 7 grand at 40k miles.

The Cupra ticks all the boxes for me as it has a decent boot , baby seat fits with no probs & plenty of power when u want it . I`m not a massive fan of the jap imports as i think the majority look really tacky IMO . Although they have their faults , coil packs ,door seals etc I`d upgrade to a CupraR with no hesitation .

i am after a evo or subaru at the mo. but i need about £9000 grand i have £4000 saved. And i was hope to get about £4500 for mine but looking at prices i would be lucky to get £3500.

An ex workmate sold a golf vr6 & bought an impreza turbo . He loved it but front tyres lasted 4.5k and mpg was really low . What about service intervals , are they 6k on the evo ? . I think buying one is the easy part , maintaining one is something else .

 

[BEOWULF]

Not bothered about that. do my own servicing.
and petrol wise 33mpg to 25 mpg not much difference really.
will only do about 100 miles a week.
i have a works van to do any heavy millage.
