Yeah I'm tempted, there not too much money on eBay, just got to find one in good condition. Can't believe they didn't leave a note, can't imagine doing myself.

Well mines a standard FR 09 CR 47700 and I would get offered between 7500-8000

So 2.5 years newer but higher mileage. FR+ has loads of kit such as Xenons, nav, auto lights and wipers etc. so £10k should be easy I'd imagine!
extras never ever get you more
My old cupra had BTCC kit and xenons and I got no extra money
So you have got a nice car. It does the job you need it to, looks good, goes well and is largely reliable.
Because your mileage is high, you are worried about wear and tear, so decide to buy a worse car that is probably already worn and a 2nd car (for fun) that won't be as nice as the car you started with. You loose the nice car and end up with 2 worse cars.
There is no logic mate, you will only lose out. Run the leon into the ground, or swap it for something else when you are bored with it. Just don't try to save money by swapping cars, it never works.
NEVER!
Swap cars because you want to, it will cost more.
Trade down because you need to, but stay within what you need (i.e. a 1.0 quoted at 65mpg doing mostly motorway will realistically do 30ish, better get a 1.6)
Trade up because you want to and you can!
Not necessarily trying to free up money spent on cars as such. My student loan would allow me to pay for repairs on cars, unless it blows the engine but that's unlikely provided it's been looked after.
Since I'm in uni and only part time working it would take me forever to get £5k. To pay my dad back would be a massive weight off my shoulders.
If I could keep my leon perfect I'd be happy but it's always one thing after another with it. I went to get a dent removed months back and ended up with a smashed and replaced window
I can almost guarantee I'll get a bumper respray and it will get scraped within a week! Just my bad luck

Didn't realise that's what student loans were designed for lol
It's not, but since I'll be living at home next year it's all I have to spend it on
mate it felt like id done a full workout by time i got the bugger on........sweating.

Well use some of that money to pay your dad back....
That's why I will never understand students lol
Expecting around £2.5k loan for the year, obviously I'll be paying for fuel and food so it won't stretch to far on car repayments!
I probably just need to spend the £700-£800 to get it all fixed and then enjoy my car again
Thanks for that, looking at £10.5-£11k then really. Obviously private sale would be slightly more than that (especially if I could find someone wanting the mods it has).
