Where and what to look for?

[dom123]

Hey all,
Currently selling my vr6 and looking at getting a cupra so far i have only found one for sale. I dont have much of a clue with these cars so i was wondering how reliable they are?what to look for when buying one?and how much to expect to pay for one?

Any help with these questions would be great guys!

[Cupra]

Hi Dom,

I guess from your post that you haven't driven a cupra yet & I certainly haven't driven a vr6 so I can't give you a comparison between the power of the two & the way I understand it there is a lot of mk3 in a cupra. The 16v abf engine is a great engine once you get it on song & it loves to rev. The car is great at highway speeds, well geared with good torque. When standard the car was a sweet handler if a little nosey, mines on coilovers & while a little harsh is on rails now. Mine has always been very sensitive to tyre pressure changes.

From a reliability point of view I use mine as a daily driver & have had little go wrong in 10 years of ownership, certainly nothing that has stopped me driving it......well apart from when I broke the dip stick

Cost, I don't know what a good one would fetch but i would think not to much, Golf Loon would have a better idea of the current state of play & he can also help with most parts as well.

Your golf would be a far more flexible car having 4 doors & the hatch with a bit more room as well, but if you're like me & don't care about how much space is behind the drivers seat then that isn't an issue.

cheers
