Torred's 2001 Seat Leon 1.4S

[Cloughjo]

Yeah no bad at all, depends if i sell my leon first.
costly and its some commitment to take it out on finance at like 30k
oh man, gone are the days of a cheap round'a'round.
Audi a4 is the most probable option

You can get an Exeo alot less than 30k

No updates to report.

Ive been so busy with work, having only started a week ago. Im on 54.5 hours a week and I just dont have any time to do anything at the moment.

Finally got it through MOT though, failed last friday on lower ball joint, front caliper missing a bolt, hand brake not holding properly, headlights aimed too high, and the middle rear seat belt was jammed. All of its sorted now and being re-tested tomorrow.

I wont be driving it as much now due to having a company car, which saddens me a bit, I love this Leon. That said, im now driving a brand new Mazda 3 1.6 Sport every day for free, so it isnt that bad, saves mileage on my Leon. I will still drive it once a week or so just to keep it going.

 

[Torred1771]

I must say while its nice driving around in a new shiny company car, I miss driving my old Leon! I just cant afford to run both at the same time!

 

[Torred1771]

Took the Leon out for a drive today, first time im about 3 weeks! I must say I miss her quite a bit! Only done 177 miles since it passed its MOT a month ago!

 

[Torred1771]

Sad to say, but she is now for sale.

Dude before anyone gets in I think you've made the right choice!

 

[cupra-barn]

Oh dear. Sad to hear tht matey

 

[Torred1771]

Its not that sad Cupra, Ive got a brand new Mazda 3 Sport to drive around in lol. The Leon just isnt getting driven, its far worse letting it sit around rotting than selling it.

 

[Frozt]

Keep going!

 

[Torred1771]

What do u mean?

 

[Whitechapel]

I think he means dont sell it

 

[Torred1771]

Oh, well I dont really want to but to be honest, the amound its going to be driven with having a company car and living less than half a mile from work, its not worth having. The monthly insurance alone will cover my council tax bill!

 

[Torred1771]

Well, the bidding only reached 920quid.......SOOO Im going to keep it!

 

[53 Leon SX]

Did you not put it up on gumtree or something? as you are keeping it now what are you going to do with it?

 

[Torred1771]

It is on gumtree, been on gumtree for about 2 weeks now, the only interest I had in it was a chav lad wanting to know if id "SWAP" it for his 1998 Citroen Saxo!

The plan is now for my partner to sell his P-reg Ibiza and take over the Leon, and I will continue with a company car.

Lol, I can see why you turned that "deal".

 

[Torred1771]

Lol, I can see why you turned that "deal".

I literally told him to get lost lol

 

[Torred1771]

Well, i parted with my beloved 17" Cupra alloy wheels. My fella is going to be taking over the Leon and getting rid of his Ibiza since I now have a company car. I got a standard set of 15" Leon SE wheels on now, I dont like it as much but hey, they were only £60 so if he kerbs them I wont be too heartbroken. Will post a pic as soon as I can!
