Cant Decide...??!

haha well thing is as my bro steeve said you could get a 1.4tdi spend loads on it and still have less than a standard 1.9tdi whereas if you for for a 1.9tdi atleast you can make it real fast. i know it sounds like i'm just trying to make you spend more money now but see what the difference is from 110bhp to 130bhp because i think they have diferent internals and i know they have a smaller turbo which means that will cost you shitloads of money if you really want to tune this car up might be worth trying to strech to the 130 in the first place see what the difference s on insurence and price of the car try doing just the 130sport not the fr because i'm sure that fr badge ads alot onto the price of the car and the insurence, btu really what you need to do mate is go into seat get your pen and paper out and write this


1.9 100bhp car price per month: Insurence per month: Total per month:

1.9 130bhp car price per month: Insurence per month: Total per month:

1.9 130FR car price per month: Insurence per month: Total per month:


then post the figures on here see how much extra it is going to cost you from being hmm this car is ok or GOD DAM IT I LOVE MY CAR!!!!!! you will be suprised mate then think if i do get the sport i will prob wanna buy the fr bumpers anyway lol


p.s sorry for such a long reply lol

 

[mikey_t]

no worries! wise words! the fr does add on the insurance loads! its only a little bit more over a year int that much really! as for payments etc, ill have a word with them.... i think ima go for the 1.9 100bhp as its got the power.... but still room for improvement and wont take my bank to the cleaners! lol

little things adding to it should make it a bit more fun!
just looked at the spec....its only £500 more for the 1.9 compared to the 1.4.... wot a con the 1.4 is!

its all the same apart from the 1.4 is slower and rubbisher! lol

and its a reference sport, which is dull anyway compared to the sport and fr etc etc!

 

[Mikey_H]

yea do what i sadi mate work out what its going to cost for each car and if you can afford the fr then do it as it really is a truely wicked car and has street cred aswell if not atleast go for the 1.9 engine has way more tuning options

If you dont mind me asking, how old are you and do you have NCD. I was paying 1800 for a Punto with a broker, then switched to More Than and got the FR TDI for £1000. Im 18 with 1 years NCD. Try a internet quote mate.

[Mikey_H]

i'm 19 with no ncd 3 points and 1 claim :S mine is 1700 LOL

 

[RichieRich]

mine is £500 fully comp lol 3 years ncb and experence... i just couldt quite make the payments in the Fr

 

[Mikey_H]

wish mine was £500 that would save me £1200 a year that like a new turbo lol

 

[RichieRich]

well mine is only the pd100, but it was £15 extra on my last car then £15 ontop for my strut brace lol oh and the admin fee grrrr

 

[Mikey_H]

yea i got promoted at work and i thought i will call them see if it dropped the premium and all they did was charge me £15 admin fee LOL

Has to be RED!

I've been considering buying an FS [special edition 100BHP 1.4 like the DAB] and most of the photos in the brochure for the sporty looking models are red. I know the cupra isn't but I personally think that red really sets off the car.

Wouldn't worry about scratches ... you're going to get them whatever colour and I have had silver,black,blue,vibrant green [!],white cars over the years and it still looks terrible when someone scratches it!

Good luck and make sure you post a photo!!

 

[mikey_t]

yea going for a red 1.9 tdi sport now....... so shud be all good, mines 1300 on that fully comp with 1 years ncb! how did u get 1000 for ur FR...wot a pain...

 

[Mikey_H]

well done mikey_t i promise you won't regret going for 1.9 instead of the 1.4 so when you picking it up then?? are you buying it brand new??

 

[mikey_t]

ha your persuasion worked....gotta put a little money down to secure it, but shud be in the next week or two! gotta pretty good deal on it, was told im stupid to turn it down if i do...so i didnt.... still searching for insurance though! they dont half rip you off! ah well, nice car, i dont mind! yea brand new, done about 25 miles just from people having a quick drive etc...but love it

 

[Mikey_H]

well done mate now lets get to it, what you going to do to it!!!! hehehe

 

[mikey_t]

jumping in at the deep end! well you tell me... yours seems the target too achieve! not even got it yet! ha well i wanna do the usual...but wots ur idea... nothin too expensive! lol

 

[Mikey_H]

my advice first things first get a pd160 intake and green cotton filter, get the pd160 intake from seat temselves you can prob pick the parts up on the same day as the car green cotton air filter i got from their website direct took 9 days for delivery though :S that low will prob cost you about £65 thats the start lol makes the turbo whistle a bit more and get a slight increase but give me a call when your going to do this and i will come and help you hack it apart to get better air flow.

 

[mikey_t]

sounds safe... hack it apart! nah i know wot you mean! yea any help is good help, im crap when it comes to engine stuff, dare not venture near it as i dont have a clue what to do at the moment! cant wait for it now.... its a depressing thought knowing i have to wait another week or two!

 

[unitzero]

1.9 TDI all the way!!

Well done everyone for convincing him!

 

[mikey_t]

ha yea thanks you all cost me extra money! ha nah its all good, its costing me an extra £630 over 3 years......which is nothing! result! i haggled and forced a good deal

 

[unitzero]

lol, £17.50 per month! you'll save that by driving to the pub at the weekends as you'll be loving the car and will WANT to be the designated driver!
