The Cupra (Black) Lease thread
Discussion
Gambler81 said:
Currently trying to weigh up whether to choose a company car where everything bar fuel is included or to take the cash allowance for a personal lease.
I'm trying to work out total cost and have included 2 years insurance and 2 services.
Over 20k miles how many tyres, brake pads etc should I budget for?
Thanks
I've looked into this many times, company car usually wins out unless your doing low business miles.I'm trying to work out total cost and have included 2 years insurance and 2 services.

10k for a set of fronts on a Cupra will be max, my current FR did 12 with my wife driving most of them.
Convinience of company car too, anything goes wrong it's hassle free, including crashing them.
My Tax on an A5 is about 240 A month, fuel another 150 so for 400 a month I am fully covered including fuel for a £35k car, granted it's never mine but nether will my cupra!!

455 cars in 7 weeks is heehaw. The Nissan line in Sunderland has a qashqai rolling off the line every 62 seconds and no matter how anybody wants to think of their Cupra, the fact is it's a mass produced car. Ok, they won't be doing 1 car every minute due to time for siestas and tapas breaks and what not but still, a line that probably runs 24/7 will churn that out no bother.
However, to throw a little spanner in the works. I read on the seat forum that they were having issues and production was running a 3-4 week set back. Could be b

Agreed, I work in Automotive logistics, visit Halewood and JLR Birmingham quite often, they certainly roll of pretty fast, also get driven quite hard round the compounds for anyone who worry's about the running in However, to throw a little spanner in the works.

Awesome and yes don't forget to post lots of pictures!!
I said earlier on in this thread that I've not seen even 1 Cupra on the road; however, all that changed yesterday! I saw my first Cupra although I wasn't sure if it was a 280 or 290 - it definitely wasn't a Cupra black. Are the wheels different on a normal 280 compared to the 290? If not, then I'm not sure how to tell them apart, except for the small 280/280 badge.
But anyway, it looked awesome and the Mrs approved as well, although she did say I can use her car and she can use the Cupra. :-(
Thanks, C.

Happy days, as creator of this thread SEAT should have delivered mine first

Yeah FR is just below the Cupra trim.
Off the top of my head, smaller alloys (I think 17"), different exhaust, no front parking sensors, no nav. There's probably many more that I've forgotten.
The new FR spec has taken a drop from the previous. All be it, I'm driving an FR+ mark 2, the toys and kit it has in it is miles above the current FR spec. I'm interested to see how the LEDs of the cupra match up against the xenon's in the FR+; as they're the best headlights I've ever had.Off the top of my head, smaller alloys (I think 17"), different exhaust, no front parking sensors, no nav.

Is anyone else getting conflicting info??
I was told built week 37 by Seat UK so w/c 12/9/16 then the dealer said it had been moved forward to week 36 w/c 5.9.16 and to expect maybe by end of September but more likely 1st week of October, tried to get hold of them for a week now to no avail so spoke to Seat CS just and they said its status 30 and still awaiting a ship in Barcelona port?
How can it wait in Barcelona for 3 weeks, seems crazy to me, I'm going to look into the dealers that have stock and just lose my £200 deposit if they can get one quicker, I need to get of my car ASAP to release some money, another potential month is too long.

Looks great. If you could get some interior close ups too then that would be great.
