Leon FR, 10k budget (Deposit left)

[zeffania]

Well, I tentatively advertised my car and a couple of hours later, a friend wants it

Best get properly looking for an FR then

181bhp, tech pack and under 10k. Doable, but 11k would be better for a mileage as I would prefer one on 30k, not 60k but SWMBO has set the figure.

Any links, anyone got one for sale in the Hampshire area please?

Mine has just under 30k miles and I want £11k for it. I haven’t advertised it yet.

Gorgeous motor, but sadly I need a 5 door for the kids seats, wife has firmly said no to 3 doors

 

[Ckpearce91]

You can make some haha

 

[zeffania]

I just need to persuade her on 3 doors

can't see you getting a 184 for 10K unless its mega miles or cat D.

Gonna be tight, but we shall see. My wife is adamant she will find one

My 5dr 1.8 TSI FR (62 plate / 34k miles) finishes end of Oct / beginning of Nov. Apologies if this is no use but it’s going to BCA for auction. The local dealer would have bought it but VWFS wanted around £9,800 for it which the dealer thought was too high.

I need a diesel really, my commute is 60 miles a day

Try and get one that's not had the emissions fix. Mines lost a lot of torque.

I thought the mk3’s didn’t need the emissions fix as they were all euro 6 cars?

I've noticed that the 1.8's tend to be more expensive to buy used than the 184's

Early ones are Euro 5+

Thanks for the heads up re emissions, what a ball ache. Best remember to ask the seller before I make the trip to view it

Think I might have to re-think my priorities and possibly plump for the 148 model instead. Still an improvement on my current pd105 with a remap and I can always had a few ponies at a later date

There are some 184PS 5 doors out there for 10k.

You obviously need to be willing to travel.

 

[niallain]

Just noticed your 30k miles requirement, I think you'll struggle to find a 184PS for 10k and 30k miles.

Real shame you need 5 doors

Tell me about it. I must admit on the test drive, it was a royal pain getting my lads seat in the back.

I've left a VM with a seller of a 148 model. Less than 30k on the clock. It's a shame I can't stretch to 12, but my wife is worried when we come to remortgage and ask for more to extend

Why not go for the Ecotsi petrol? Good on consumption and won't get taxed to the hilt if the government really does want to make Diesel pollution the next Armageddon...... on top of that you will probably be able to hit your targets in relation to price and mileage and it's cheaper to run.
