posibly going to view a cupra r tomorow.help!!!

[m0rk]

less than two months MOT?

I wouldn't buy it unless it either had 12 months ticket, or was incredibly cheap

bald tyres, non original paint (more of it would be faded), no mirror all suggests someone's owned it & can't afford the maintenance.

£3200. think how much money it'll be for the MOT if it needs new brakes, a service, tax, MOT, 2xtyres, cambelt - that's a fair chunk of money there to bring it up to an acceptable standard

 

[cupramillo]

3300-3400 max really. Tax and mot your looking at 350quid, waterpump and cambelt 400quid

only thing in his favour is that its an R and its rare, but thats it. I wouldnt go over 3.5k

 

[cupramillo]

Also if he has let things like this slide, you dont know what else could be in bad condition.

 

[greg.w]

hes asking 4k

hmmmmm

 

[m0rk]

Don't bother. if your budget for a car is £5000, then that's what it will cost to get it right.

in which case, just go buy a car for £5k.

A nice example is worth traveling for imo the one i bought was nearly 2 hours away.....

2 hours... I drove 8! All be it for a bike but the same principle applies.

I personally wouldn't buy a Cupra R, just a Cupra. But if I had to give a value on it would probably be around £6500 without the bad points, with the bad points £5000-5500. (out of the recession lol) A grand less nowadays.

Say to him the costs, service (£400) + tax (£210) + MOT (£50+) + mirror (£50). All adding up to at least £710 needing spent.


Editted because my price watching skills aren't that great!

remind me to sell cars to you.

no way is a Cupra R worth that much mate.

Judging by what they are selling at they are roughly. 80k plus Cupras are selling anywhere from £3000-4500... Cupra R's are more than that which is getting into the £5k/6ks

 

[cupramillo]

no way is that r worth 6.5k, maybe pre recession but not now! And it wouldhave had to be a minter back then. 3.7k take it or leave it id say to him

Yeh looking at them now they have decreased quite alot. Been looking at the Cupra prices so much have totally missed that Cupra Rs are a hell of alot cheaper almost as cheap as Cupras!! Never used to be the case.

 

[greg.w]

hmmmmm

ive emailed a gut on here from edinburgh about a cupra

its yellow with 48k on it.coilovers and 17" porsche rims

hes asking 5500 quid

is it worth that?

 

[m0rk]

That's too little information to put a valuation on it.

But at best it's a 7 yr old car, and he wants 5.5k for what was 13k new.

At worst it's a 9yr old car....

But I don't think m(any) Mk3 Cupra's are worth more than 4.5k, except those where significant money has been spent on long term maintenance (engine rebuild etc)

 

[greg.w]

but very low milage and mods also

im hoping this guy gets back to me tonight about the 'r' then well see lol

 

[m0rk]

mods aren't worth jack.

low mileage is only "worth it" if it's been maintained by age, not mileage. Don't be blinded by mileage. I sold our Cupra with 80k on it & in better nick than many with fewer miles.

The R needs to be very very cheap

 

[greg.w]

well if he taxd and motd it id prob give him 3800 to 3900

 

[turboboy]

3.8k no more but would have to see the car!

 

[greg.w]

with all the bad points and needs mot and tax soon yeh?

 

[turboboy]

it depends on how much you want it, as its been said its worth what you want to pay, if its a good example and there is nothing major wrong with it then i dont see the problem buying it, you know your budget and its well under it,

personaly tho id have to see the car to know if its worth it so i could look under it and visualy check stuff,

 

[greg.w]

i honestly want it so much.its near perfect from what ive seen.

tbh i dont know what i should hear for under the bonnet when its started.it had a kind of hoover sucking noise when 1st started but this disapeared and the guy said its just the choke or something?

also what should a proper cupra r be boosting at?

thanks

 

[greg.w]

what should a cupra r be boosting at please?????
