I will say I did find it hard to find one with the right mileage at the right price, but I did find one in the end. It took me about 3 months to find the correct one. keep looking and one will turn up.
anyone know anything on this leon cupra?

That could be one of the best decisions you ever make!
As people have said, its too cheap, and been for sale for a long time, and no paperwork, it does sound like a dodgy car!
Take your time and make sure you find the right one
That's a members car off here I remember the exhaust

Yeah, Brad was a good guy actually. That car has had a lot of work done though. His HPFP basically broke off and trashed the original engine iirc. He didn't put the another HPFP on and ran the car @ Stage 2 - then flogged it.
I don't recall him having that ridiculous exhaust on though.

do you know him or ever spoke to him? i want to have a look at it but its miles away so not sure if its worth the effort if its a dog!
guys honestly I would give it a miss its cheap for a reason
hmm i know, the guy who owns it now said it runs perfectly and welcomes an inspection/diagnostic check but just seems cheap. he said hes selling it cheap because some of the paperwork was lost etc. i do like the car but i want to see what else is on the market before i jump in, or maybe find out more on it.
You might be okay with no paperwork, but will the next owner after you? Very difficult to sell on.
No don't know him just seen the car parked round the corner from my house and recognise the location of the photos
thats just it not sure if it will be easy to sell on, does have paperwork for some things and log book/replacement book from seat. i have done some investigation and have found out the car was fixed under extended warranty but did not have a full engine replacement, it underwent a n engine repair so i assume cams etc. suprised brad didnt pass this onto the current owner. i assume they would have done a full check to see if everything was in order.
Mate, I don't know how many times people are going to tell you the same thing. Things were suspicious before we knew the history of the car - now we know, we know it's had extensive engine repairs.
You seem to be trying to convince yourself to go for it
Yeah i have to agree! You asked peoples opinion and they nearly all said avoid it, yet you seem to be telling yourself its okay! Its had big engine repairs, why? It may go wrong again too.
Stop looking at it and find a genuine, all paperwork car. There are plenty out there to choose from! And if they're too expensive, save up until you can afford it the £1000 extra on a decent car is far less than the potential £7000 wasted on a car that has a dodgy history.

Totally agree. Seems like your looking for justification from forum members to buy the car.
Personally, I think you should be looking to spend between 9-10k on a 07-08 car (dependent on mileage).

ok guys thanks alot, just trying to weight the pros/cons, seems like the cons outweigh the pros!
Tell you what give SEAT UK a call and give them the reg they will tell you of any history or work it has had done also get the mot certificate number and check it on the mot history website you will then get more info on the car also drive it for a while even get on the motorway with it lol oh and offer him 6200 cash for a quick sale as its been up for a few weeks now.

think im going to take the advice and leave it mate seems like alot of hassle for what its worth. called around today to get more info, even people at revo and some of the traders on here. revo cant find where it was tuned, and the traders havent got back to me. like some of the others have said if its not selling now then i wont be able to shift the car when the time comes, or find it hard.
