That is very cheap. Is it from a franchised dealer?

no obviously don`t want to say to much at the moment , they have it as a demonstrator
but not on any web page as yet.

i think it is not a bad price . but i would prefer some more options to be totally happy with it

Well it will still have over 2 years manufacturers warranty left if anything should go wrong with it.
And from your description I'd say there's not much missing from the spec!

Price seems about right. Depreciation was always thought to hit the 1.8 DSG hardest.

Though when I was looking to lease, the dealer said it would have a GFV of about £9k so maybe things will settle down...

That's what they claimed. Though I guess it could be less and that's what they're willing to buck the difference of. Had it not been for the cheaper 0% deal I'd have probably leased.

probably about right 8-9k if it has a nice spec

i remember selling my old mk1 cupra after 3 years for 8.8k , and they where only 15k new back in the day before discounts.

goes to show they all end up being worth the same , but you just paying 5-7k more than you did when seat`s where cheap

Most seem to, the one I ended up buying from their pool was better spec'd than the one I'd ordered (+ Sound, Alcantara, Driver Assist) and that one was the figure they quoted on so I guess we may be lucky...

Low mileage main dealer prices are still around £17-18K, they tend to have the best examples too.

I have the winter pack too - well worth it IMO. Even helps if you've done your back in!

You get them "included in the price" with leather - so the seats are effectively £850 as the LP is £1200 (or was when I spec'd). Much preferred the look of the Alcantara.
