Been looking for the right Leon Cupra T for a few weeks but have still yet to find the one and getting a bit sick of dealing with lying used car salesman...

I've only been looking around Yorkshire but thinking a might start going a bit further afield, I've seen this one on eBay that looks nice, the dealer reckoned it was last owned by someone from an owners club (probably bullshit) but I thought I'd post a link just in case anyone knew of it or had been to see it.

Might be going to see it some point next week but I could have probably bought a car with the money I've spend on petrol in the last 3 weeks!

If you'd posted this, this time last week, I'd have gone down and given it a look over and a test drive, as it's only a couple of miles from me in Alderley Edge and I had the week off work!

Pricewise, I got one for £100 more than that about 18 months ago, which has full black electric leather interior, less miles and newer (02) plate.

Damn it! Always a week too late :)

Do you think it's overpriced? I would expect the actual 'sale' price to be lower than that though. Only a year between 'Y' and '02' plates so I'm not too fussed about that and I actually don't want leather as I've got a child seat (and child come to think of it) that would just end up knackering leather seats.

Yeah, you'll probably be able to knock £200-£250 of it.

Just saying, 1 year newer, plus the fact it was 18 months ago, since i bought it, = 2 1/2 years difference.

Horses for courses on the seats I guess.. Leather are easy to wipe clean, yet they're hot in summer and cold in winter!

Cheers mate but just bought one. Fair bit more than £1800 but think it's worth it :)

Taking off the tints before I picked it up were part of the deal ;)

Will live with the other mods for a few days until I decide what goes and what stays. I'm an outreach worker for the local council and park my car in some pretty dodgy areas so like it to be as low profile as possible! (by that I don't mean slammed) ;)
