Hi all thinking of selling my car this year as dont need it anymore. Its a 55 plate cupra r ovni yellow 45k on the clock 10 months mot 6 months tax. How much should i put it up for sale for. Private sale of course. Thanks.
 
I'd price it around around £5,250 - £6,000 seeing as its such low mileage.
The higher end if its got FSH and paintwork is not faded, has it had the cambelt done etc?
 
Not many low mileage ones. The ones on a late reg n decent mileage are around 5,500 - 6,000.
No point selling yourself short to be honest.
Someone who wants a genuine unmodded one will pay it

A black one in bham with 89k 55reg cat c damage repaired went for 3k last week.

Slightly modded ones go cheaper tbh.
 
Well looking on ebay just....you cant get a 55plate with less then 62k on the clock for less than 5k and thats yellow! If the paintwork isnt faded then a prope ovni will sell well because its still a great colour to own.


Look at this on eBay:

2006 Seat Leon 1.8 T 20V 225 CUPRA R, ONLY 62000 MILES WITH FULL SERVICE HISTORY

Agreed as well, and its yellow. People avoid yellow like the plague.


Not true at all, it's just yellow is like orange or green etc. they are more marmite colours, you tend to either like or dislike them whereas silver,black,white etc. less risky as most think at least "ok"

When i bought mine, i liked black and anthracite, didn't want silver or red and like loads of others simply couldn't make my mind up about yellow for quite a while. However ended up getting a yellow and am very happy with it [now 400 ponies track beast:D], the only other colour i would ever go for is black as it's easier to touch up following the chips picked up on track days.
 
Yeah have seen that one on ebay. Says its not modified but seems to be sporting black wheels haha. Also missing jacking covers. As ive said bonnet is faded but apart from that its pretty good.
 
Reckon you might be able to get 5k for it if its mint condition, FSH and no major problems with it, but all depends if the right person comes along and wants a yellow LCR

Is true, people avoid it because it fades and peals like mad, its common knowledge.

May statement wasn't because I think yellow as a colour is bad.

Sounds like you have spent some money! Where did you get your box rebuilt bud?
 
Place called stealth racing in southam .. always looked after my tuned cars, vince and john know their stuff! Yeah gearbox wad painfully expensive.. when u factor in I had clutch and flywheel changed at same time I was pushing 2k and this did not impress the mrs when the reason for the above was to just get rid of a whine in 3rd lol
