Are LCRs rarer than HEN'S TEETH?

[MUFFIN]

I'm lookin' at buyin' a CUPRA R 05/55 plate

I've just been told by a salesman at a stealers that they are rarer than hen's teeth!!
Is this true??

I'm likin' the RED, Grey and Black in that order.

Has anyone got one hidden away?

ha.................wouldn't say they are the most popular choice (thankfully) but there are some real gems out there. Browse on the for sale section here, pistonheads, autotrader, compucars (which is where I found mine). I actually got mine from a Seat dealer, proper mint condition, owned by some old boy so I know the car had never seen the redline

They are fairly rare cars i dont think anyone knows figures like the limited anniversary golfs though. Even harder when you just want one age. if ithe conditions good i would consider anything 225 onwards which i think is 2004 not like anything changed in between unlike the FR run offs

The dealer told me they were rare as well, then promptly got 2 more LCRs on the forecourt the following week!

I've called 3 seperate garages this AM to bid on 3 LCRs, all have sold, "just this morning."
nice red one on autotrader for 7.5k but MAIDSTONE is a fair punt from Lancashire..

How much would a service including cam-belt and waterpump cost for this motor??

Cheers

£400 ish

yeah theyre pretty rare, as a car, but to be honest i find the facelift 180 lc with starfishs more rare,

either that or everyone round heres bought the LCR

to be honest i think now that cupras and R's are getting a bit older it is getting hard to find a good one. It took me 4 months to find mine

The dealer I bought mine from initially used the excuse "they're very rare but highly sought after" as his reasoning for not moving on the price to start with. Funny how he was ringing me later that week to see if he could do me a deal after all tho

Since buying mine I've noticed at least 8 different ones around here (Aberdeen) so they're probably not as common as Golf GTIs or R32s, or even S3's but I wouldn't say they're rare the way good women are round here

06 are even rare but 1 will come up some were ebay and stealers are the best bet

There not rare in Loughborough (leicestershire), nearly everone around me has a LCR, not that I'm bitter.........Much.
There's alway a desent selection on Autotrader, just don't rush mate and have a good look.

I'm trying to get a dealer to carry out a cam-belt/water pump replacement on a four year old LCR.
The guy is adamant it only needs doing at 120k and that information is coming from SEAT.

Does this guy know his onions?? or NOT?

 

[rsmith]

you should try and buy one in Ireland I have only seen 2 other LCR's in the past 3 years, they are as rare as rocking horse poop which suits me just fine, I had to import mine from the good old UK.

 

[RobDon]

Sounds like a sales pitch to get more money for one. LCR's seem fairly common, I see them all the time.

 

[evismaniac]

I think they hold their money quite well.

Facelifted LC's are fairly common around Sheffield. LCR's are much rarer.
