Trade in my 2004 LCR???

[Mutrag]

I travel a lot of miles to work and back and have been averaging about 30mpg from the LCR. Just popped into the dealers today and been offered 12.5k for my car against an ex demo Toledo 2.0 tdi sport with 8k on the clock. I'm seriously considering it, but that boot????

What do you think?

I doubt the toledo will hold its value any better than your leon. The only better thing about it will be the lower running costs. Imagine swapping from a car that looks as good as it does to the monstrosity that is the new shaped toledo

yuk yuk
the new toledo is an ugly duck in the highest degree.
its nothing like the th old mark 2.
have you thought about an ALTEA. its sexy has good looks with the same oil burner.
buy an ALTEA or wait for the new leon.

if you must trade itin, look at the leon FR, as it a good looking car.

But if you can't hold on till the new leon 2.0tdi ( which wil knock more off your motor) then go for a golf tdi 4-motion

I would also sell the car private, surely you can get more than that for it.

i'll swap my slightly more frugal cupra (20vt flash red) for your petrol muncher

 

[scottc]

I have just sold my Cupra R and you will get alot more for it if you sell it yourself.

£13500 for a 2004 I think

I would think long and hard about changing to the Toledo, It may give you better fuel economy but your street cred has just gone up in smoke....

 

[allaction]

I would step out of the sun as it must have affected your judgement! I agree if you want something frugal look at the FR TDI as it looks the business and is economical. The Toledo is unspeakably ugly.

what dealer offered you 12.5k in px,phone number would be appreciated.cheers...

 

[UncleFester]

12.5k over a year ago don't forget ......

 

[Colonelk]

Holy thread revival batman!!

 

[willbatch]

Why not get the 'old' shape FR+ TDI looks the same, well almost and superb on fuel. If you do PX and have recaros, ill give you a lot of cash and a normal R trim lol!!!

 

[willbatch]

could this not tempt you on an 06 plate?

I would never forgive myself trading my LCR in for a toledo!! Keep the Leon and buy a cheap runabout for a few hundred quid.

^ very sensible

 

[SteveD]

Get a FR+ 150 best of both worlds

 

[DamoR]

Everytime you drive past a LCR you will get that sad, sinking feeling

Run the cheapo diesel car into the ground and save your clean polished LCR for the weekend/summer

You know it makes sense
