Thinking of buying this.. whats do yous think

[Brummy]

There is only 1 8v Cupra I'd pay 2k for and its for sale at the moment

Otherwise they are over priced.
Get a valver anyway - if you want a gti might as well do it properly

no way is that worth £2,000.

103k on the clock, faded plastics, doesnt look that tidy and the front number plates are leaking and cracked...

Much tidier examples you can get for that price

i am only 19.. so a 16v gti out of question you see... and a corby 16v out of question too..

 

[OllieL]

When I was looking for quotes, insurance for a valver wasnt much more than an 8v, especially if you can find one that was registered as a cupra sport!
Something to think about

Ollie

 

[AlpineWhite]

It doesn't make that 8v any less overpriced!

Is insurance for a 16v really £800 more expensive?

 

[martin_hill_198]

said wont insure me till 21... i got a qoute for 2k for a 16v and a 8v 700 fully comp euro cover etc

It was £98 more expensive for me

Ollie

 

[martin_hill_198]

what sud i pay tops for a gti 8v then as i really like the copper/orange or black ones

 

[AlpineWhite]

Depends on the car itself....

I'd say the well-known black one might be worth 2k to the right person as it's one of the tidiest out there.

You could probably buy a decent one for around the 1k mark though. If mine fetches anything in the region of 1k, i'd be a very happy bunny.

 

[OllieL]

I'd pay 2k for it. Paid that for mine, although its a valver with tiger stripes etc and I got 2 sets of wheels

I'm hoping to have a poke around it when i'm up in Glasgow on Saturday.
Am undecided if it would be better to buy that and spend the 3k budget I have for paint on a 1.8T conversion
What you think of that Ant?

Ollie

 

[AlpineWhite]

Tough choice! I think there's a good chance i'd be driving back from sunny glasgow in a different car to the one i arrived in How much are 1.8t conversions costing nowadays?

 

[CraigW]

If I had the 2K I would definetely take the black one off Dave's hands. Its such a nice car with only 59k on it aswell.

But guess what, I dont have the 2K . Looks like the 1.4 for alittle longer.

That is a tough choice Ollie. Depends what car you were going to put the 1.8T engine in. Im guessing it would be Dave's car.?

 

[KIWI16V]

No way. Overpriced mate. It has'nt even got half leather seats for that money. Pay no more than 1300 for it. If not then walk away.

 

[OllieL]

8v's didn't have leather seats as standard dude. But as already said its over priced

the one ollie linked has more than 1/2 leather though

 

[BrownCupra]

I think buying a car like that of that age you have got to expect that at some point someone has thrashed the living sh$t out of it!

You dont buy a GTI to plod about it do you?

 

[truCido]

You say your only 19 and they wont insure you on a 2.0 16v gti......find another insurance company. I had my Ibiza Cupra 1.8T remapped, lowered etc etc when I was 19 and it was under £1500 fully comp. Find a decent insurance company and you'll be fine
