thats where i got mine , nowt dodgy about it, although i never bought it through ebay i went to the seller direct, all the way down to portsmouth, admittedly i woulda preffered to buy from a dealer, but these things second hand up in scotland are like hens teeth, rare wee beasties indeed, i paid £10400 for mine, 22000 on the clock, mint, 52plate fssh etc etc. drove 450 miles home as well. full recaros front and rear, proper bobby bonus, but i agree that you've got to be carefull and it is more stressful than buying through a dealer or even privately closer to home. get hpi done etc etc.

Sub 10k i think will be high milers and dog condition, Surely? I know there are a few on ebay! But thats proper dodgy!

Some Cupra R's are 4 years old now, and the car is now an old model so why the hell won't there be good examples for under 10k?! :wtf:

one of the easiest ways to spot the difference is that the 225 bhp cars the Cupra R badge at the rear is in red writting. The 210bhp car is Cupra R written in black..

Its amazing of the myths and legends that get about, especially concerning engine differences etc.

i can tell you now there is no engine internal differences between the AMK and the BAM.

as a guide from ETOS and ETKA the block and piston set for AMK :06A 103 101 J
and for the BAM : 06A 103 101 J

conrod for BAM : 027 198 401 B
conrod for AMK : 027 198 401 B

225 cupra R`s have a red band round the top centre of the steering wheel and the badge on the back saying cupra is in red writing. the gear knob may be different aswell but I`v not seen a 210 inside, only in pictures so not sure.
