Ibiza Cupra buying advice

[Rich_j_Williams]

hello everyone

I am new here and new to seat, I am currently looking into buying a Ibiza Cupra r, i have found one that i quite liked but i know nothing about them.

I am after something reliable and fast, i quite like the idea of tunning one or buying one already tunned.

So my question is, what are the std spec cupra r's, and how much would i expect to pay for one in a1 condition and fairly low mileage?

what are the tunning possibilites on the cupra r, i dont want to go too far as this will be a daily used car, so i want to keep reliablity as i major factor.

if anyone has one that fits the bill please post up,

i currently drive a corsa turbo that i converted myself but i want something a bit newer and smoother etc

thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum Rich. This topic has been covered quite a few times Cupra Vs Cupra R etc etc. Have a search through some old threads and refine your search to this section and you should dig up quite a bit.

happy hunting

You need to get you post count higher. Above 10. Its a measure thats been put in place by admin.

no-one can reply in for sales to prevent spamming up threads. you have to contact them with the details they provide i.e email or telephone. you also wont be able to pm them until you have your user status upgraded (by having 10 post)

oh right, thanks for your help lads

is there any cars that people would reccomend? is the ibiza still reliablke when tuned or will it require lots of maintenance

they are as reliable tuned as they are standard. its the same things that fail all the time. take some time to read the thread entitled "whats gone wrong with your ibiza" or something like that in this mk3 ibiza section.

Thats Daz's car iv been in it since me and him are mates and live local. Its a real beast and me and daz are always competing for a laugh. (notice it says underneath his username "still quicker than Carls" (me))

it goes like stink and is in great condition for the year. the price is a bargain when you consider the extras your getting. however i urge you not to buy it as i dont want daz to sell it
