Here is my Seat Toledo 1.9 Tdi Se that was eligible for the scrappage scheme. IMO this is why the scheme was a complete farce - cars like this being sent to the crusher just so the owner could get their hands on a crappy Picanto

Have to say I have a quiet thing for these cars. I can't help but think they would look really good with the bumpers, wheels etc from a Leon Cupra transferred over - has anybody seen it done?

Looks like a good motor & I agree with you on the absurdity of the scrappage scheme. How did you come by it if it was due to be scrapped - I thought that once they were traded in, the dealers were legally obligated to destroy them and couldn't even break them for parts?

I have owned it for nearly three years - I just meant as it is 11 years old it was eligible for the scheme on account of its age. My brother in law had the Leon Cupra 150 Tdi - lovely car.

I had a 52 reg 1.9tdi se one of these and it was great, served me very well on the motorway and was a big step up from a 51 reg ford ka!

I looked for a toledo purely because it was often cheaper than the equivalent leon and strangley the parkers review was glowing, more so than the leon, which may have been because so many more leons were sold so more complaints and problems in total were reported

I bought a 04 reg fabia vrs to replace it and am looking at a 07 reg leon fr tdi to replace that next year
