2001 Seat Leon Cupra 1.8 20v turbo, 12 months MOT, 6-speed

Hi all,

Not Rover I'm afraid, but I'm trying to clear some space at my house!

The full ebay ad is here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seat-Leon-Cup ... 558579460?, but details briefly are:

I bought this from someone from the Autosh*te forum back in April, with plans for it to replace my Vitesse.

However, it suffered one significant issue - it's too low for my driveway. I put the lowered suspension back to standard (lowering springs will go with the car, so if that's your thing...) but no joy. The car itself is fine, it's the Cupra front splitter which is low. It won't be bothered by speed humps or anything, it's just my driveway has a VERY steep ramp up to my house.

I sorted a knackered CV boot, the suspension, and a non opening boot. It's also had oil, air and pollen filters, and plugs from me as well as some re-fitted body kit.

It's an absurdly good car. 6-speed box, fully working air con, powered mirrors, absolute STACK of history, including belts and water pump. It's also ridiculously fast, a 1.8 turbo (180 bhp) if that's your thing. It's the same car as a Golf GTi and believe me, you won't find a Golf GTi with 12 months MOT for less than £800!

Happy to do a discount for a forum member if you can collect by Friday - to be honest, it's time to clear my driveway.

Looks like a nice car for someone who likes that sort of thing Adrian! Not my cup of tea these days but perhaps when i was a young puppy i would have snapped it up. :wink: :D
Cheers,
Dave

It's a real sleeper, especially if you remove the Cupra badging.

It's an unbelievable car to be honest. It's not really my cup of tea either - it made me realise that although I like fast cars, I most importantly like either fast luxury cars (soon to bring news of my new ZT...), or 'fun' cars which feel fast (like my old Mk1 MR2).

The Leon is bananas, but it's just not for me (quite apart from the very real issue of my driveway!)

As a case in point re: prices (from my other 'for sale' thread), I've not actually managed to sell this yet.

I've got someone coming today to have a look, but only at my absolute lowest price of £600.

£600 for such a ridiculously good car, including 12 months MOT, is loopy - but that's where we are it seems.
