To buy or not to buy used leon fr tdi

[bundy1981]

Afternoon,

I currently have a 10 reg mk5 ibiza 1.4 sc sport, however after having a mk 4 ibiza fr 1.9 tdi i'm struggling with the lack of oomph on the 1.4, I went o the dealers today and they have a 10 plate leon fr for £16k on this link http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201115384582232/sort/locasc/usedcars/model/leon/make/seat/postcode/sr46ul/quicksearch/true/page/1/radius/10?logcode=p

I was wondering if this is a good price or if not what should i be aiming for and what type of economy people are getting out of their leon tdi fr ?

Cheers

Hi I bought a Leon fr cr tdi 170 two weeks ago. It's a 59 reg with just under 5k miles and in perfect condition. Admittedly it's 6 months older than the one in the advert but I paid £14700. This wasn't from a seat dealer but from a car supermarket and it's a uk version, the only difference is the one you've seen has Bluetooth and mine doesn't.

I got a 10 plate white FR, 7000 miles £15500 from mail dealer a month ago. The price that the car in your link is nothing special as such, just standard retail price for an FR. Nearly new FRs are holding their money due to the I think 4 month wait for new FRs to be built at the factory.

if you get a new FR CR then get it Revo'd - best thing for a long time I've done !

Yeah about right price .....i paid 16.5k for an orange FR with DSG and 6k miles 10 plate! so thats about right price i reckon!

I got offered £14750 for my 10 FR TDi for June when we pick up an FR TSi from a dealer.

Economy wise average in winter is 45 and in summer 47 so quite good really as matches my previous Efficient Dynamics 118d which had less power at 143bhp and stop/start ect.
