Hi all. Looking at buying a cupra for the wife today. Nothing to expensive. About £4k worth.

Whats the general opinion on these. I've always quite liked them but i dont really know much about them.

Any tips on buying one of these???

Good cars, just make sure its got a full dealer service history, oil must be changed every 10k. Coil packs are an issue so if they've been replaced all the better and with that mileage/age I'd expect proof of new cambelt/waterpump (both need doing at the same time). Apart from that if it looks tidy its a goodun.

Check the passenger footwell for dampness. Ill fitting Pollen Filters and Dorr Seals can let water in.

Also check cooling fans run slowly when A/C is switched on.
