nice car that, bit pricey...

what do people think then for a 04 or 54 plated cupra r in yellow about 25-30k miles....should go for about £12k i reckon.....thats my goal....as i say its gonna be July i get it really or august......

i might hang about for sat nav too as thats about the only option i believe... (car the recaros)

I think that sounds a fair enough price... a little cheaper might be possible by that time of year too. You're right in saying that SatNav and Recaros are the only options, but I wouldn't say either are a deal breaker.

If you want SatNav there are plenty of aftermarket options.

Wouldnt worry about having to have that if I were you.

Keep the "rubbishy Rover"!!!
If you get the Cupra R you will need to add these to your wedding present list:
Revo remap, short shifter, koni fsd's, front mounted intercooler, front and rear anti roll bars, ds2500 pads, dogbone mount, goodyear F1 tyres, S3 upper strut brace, silicone hoses, plus any other items you will get talked into getting if you keep surfing this site!!!
Then you will need money for fuel to go to:
Trackdays, rolling road days, club meets, Nurburgring, and just driving around!!!
THE FEELING - PRICELESS...... FOR EVERYTHING ELSE THERE'S M*STERCRD

Fack it, get the LCR, you know you wanna!!! Ha..
TDI's are alright if you wanna save money. But for me, I just can't get past the tractor noise.. Respect them, but not for me... I'm a petrol head i'm afraid..

Well then theres a REALLY REALLY spot on TDI for sale on here!!!!!

Man if iwas seriously going to get an ovni diesel i would get that, 05 and 16k miles for £12k bargain!

Ive also noticed the cupra r prices have risen slightly, alot going for under £10k about 8 months ago but prices seem to have risen slightly and stabalised.....

interesting....
