look on autotrader website and input the info you have on here, thatll tell you everthing you need to know.

id say around £8k ish give or take would be about right in the current climate

 

[G10CHY]

Thats why im asking the question as i have seen the above one for £5,995 and wasnt sure if that was too cheap!

 

[james walker]

well id say it was a bargain, post a link to that one and well have a look mate

 

[scarface]

about £7.5-8k depending on condition. £6k seems quite low

 

[G10CHY]

Whats the main things on a LCR to check for? Think I will go and have a look tomorrow.

Im just bit worried about how genuine the mileage is and why its so cheap.

The next closest black one has 37,000miles and is £7k with FSH.

 

[james walker]

thing is with the financial climate, people just cant afford to run performance cars now... so it could be well genuine, is it a private sale?

if you do a full check on it, hpi etc, check the service manual for mileage on last services etc then youll see the genuiness of the mileage.

try post a link to the site its frommate

 

[G10CHY]

No its from a Garage as i am also looking to PX my Clio 172 also.

Won't harm in paying for a HPi check suppose.

Thanks for your help James.

if its a garagre then they should verify the mileage, also you should always get a vehicle check done on it, for 20quid its piece of mind, also aa qill do a multi point vehicle check, ask the garage if they mind this being done, thatll tell you a thousand things if they say they do mind.

check for water in the footwell, leaky door seals.
usual white in the oil filler.
check the shocks.
set off in 2nd and see if it stalls easily.

go on autotrader and look at buying a used car it tells you loads to look for.

garage should offer you a warranty also on this and send it out motd and serviced for a year.

 

[scarface]

from a garage? thats a bargain then...but this car sounds familiar, isnt this the one someone was on about earlier in week not being a genuine cupra r? just a facelift model!?

 

[G10CHY]

It's a genuine Cupra R as i have just done a HPI check on it.

it is cheap and maybe a bargain. Might not be as good a condition as whoever says it is, you never can fully tell from a pic but i don't want to put a downer on things. Might be ok and just to do with current climate etc

 

[G10CHY]

Fingers crossed its a bargain. Will have a proper gd look round the car tho!!

Will keep you updated!

The only bit that worries me is the wear on the drivers seat. Mine had done similar mileage when I sold it and from what I remember the seats hadn't worn at all.

 

[Dyscontinued]

My TDi has done over 120,000 miles and the seats are in perfect nick. Only way you can tell is the stone chips really!

Understand what you mean. The wear on the pic is a slight fade on the right side bolster but i suppose it also depends how the previous owner got in and out of the car. Maybe he/she was lazy and slided out rather than lifting off the seat first?!

and
may have been a fatty...........

id say go look at it, also seeing as youve done the hpi check prior to go see it id scrutinise it and look to buy as youll only have to pay for another when you look at another car.

ask the garage about the aa check seriously youll see if its genuinly good.
