Advise - thinking of buying

[hedgehog-harvey]

HI Guys

I am thinking of buying this...

28,000 miles 07 reg red, full btcc kit. leon fr tdi

its up for £14200

any advice do you think it is over priced?

hmm, I got a tfsi FR 57 plate with only 5miles on the clock for the same price in september 08... the tdis were even cheaper....so unless everything has gone up a lot then I'd say not the best deal

 

[hedgehog-harvey]

didnt think it was the best deal, looks amazing though :-(

 

[crigisback]

i would say its about a grand over priced.
Is it main dealer ?
If so you have got room to haggle and get the price as low as possible!

The BTCC kit was very popular on the lower models under the FR/ Cupra. One option is to get an FR TDi without the kit if there is a better priced one then sell the FR bumpers to someone to fund the full BTCC kit. I think I just found the car you were lookig at

There is another one on the place you were looking, same colour/mileage but £11,800...

I got my car from ******* in St Albans... I live 220miles from the place but they offer the best deals.

it is a seat garage but no an offical one i think

smc in windsor think they are a francise?

had a look over it outside today, quite mint. havent had a chance to drive yet. thing is they have another 07 reg one (but 46000 miles on it) there without the btcc kit and its up for £11500!!!

£3700 less!

what would u do?

think we posted at the same time... how easy is it to buy the kit and get it fitted 100% ?

Sere motors sell the kit for £700

Then you've got painting costs on top then fitting. Some people fit themselves but I imgine the body shop painting would fit. The maybe sell the old bumpers on ebay to get some cost back.
It's just an option I suggested if you found a normal type FR but at a good price.

best of luck with finding one, they're great cars.

thanks would the kit fit a FR CR 09/59 reg?

I'd definitely say that's over priced. I've just bought an 07 black petrol FR for £10990 from a dealer and it only had 14k on the clock.

We are selling our Cupra with 29k for £12,500

i dont know what to do. i have fallen in love it. but i know its over priced

it has sunroof, winter & convenance packs, and bluetooth

 

[Wayno321]

i've the leon fr and really dont know whether to get the kit done, they both just look good in there own different ways. if i was going to get a kit i think i'd go for the k1 kit.

If you like the car and are happy to pay the price then go for it.

knock them down lol
how long has it been for sale for?
you now know the price of the body kit , so that plus car = £?????? , show them its over priced and see what happens

 

[hedgehog-harvey]

well I am happy went down there to look her the car again, got some discount. and itll be ready for collection this week after its MOT and service

just going to try and sell my Astra VXR if not Ill just PX her

Alright mate lovely car! The kit does not go on the facelift fr. You will always pay more money for the diesel variant as it is in general the more sought after model, especially in the 2nd hand market. In my opinion i think it is overpricde by about £800-1000. I'm sure you can find better deals. If you really like it though then go for it mate! Looks a great example and wil hold it's value well n the car market

 

[WeeG]

Just saw you have actually bought her. Well done mate! Cracking car!

 

[hedgehog-harvey]

i didnt pay £14200 i managed to get them down, and get a service and mot

 

[hedgehog-harvey]

cant wait to get her, just need some hid or xenons luckly i already have headlight washers.

anyone interested in an astra vxr?
