all that for 5000 dollar :shock:

cause I am still looking for a new type celica (ZZT235) I also been looking at the Supercharger kit by blitz but man it was around 5000 dollar... and then it isn't even installed and setup :roll: and that was for the SC, CAI, comp, manifold... no exhaust nothing...

so if you get all that for that price... you got a nice deal

3ked seriously by a calibra with 4WD. That's one almost nobody got. I also like calibra's but when I saw what kind of people drive them in Holland it was over. I got the same feeling with the 850 csi.

Hey dudes... What do you think of this used ride?? I think it looks great (either the owner is dumb or the ride has got a secret issue...)

Seat Leon Cupra R (old model), Year 2004, April.
28,000km
210HP turbo 20vt
1800cc (1.8L) --> a bit poor but I don't care. 210HP ;)
5 doors, 18" Cupra rims, etc.


Price: 3500€ (4500US$)

:shock: A new Cupra R costs 25,000€

The bad thing is that the dude is Italian and Im in Spain.
Opinions?

My neighbour is selling Renault 5 GT Turbo for 4000€ :?

I would talk to an experienced friend, or my dad to see is that Cupra sea - worthy. The price is quite suspicious.

Well the car is made in Spain, Seat is a Spanish brand... that counts... :D

Here Audis are expensive. Damn a simple A3 that makes 105BHP costs 22k€ :roll:

Meh, to me it sounds like a rip-off. I mean, 3500€ is simply too low for a car of that class :?

I reckon that it's either stolen, or it has been seriously raced in a club racing type competion.

Unless you go to see it and inspect it in person, then I wouldn't go for it.

Edit: OR it might be a typo . . . maybe he meant 35000 :lol:

Here is another awesome deal:

Im still searching for a Spanish Seat Leon.
Look the list ranked by price. The 1st is the rip-off LOL. Well scroll down... Im liking that Yellow 180HP Leon. It's only 11.500€, a new one costs 22,165. It's serious.

I'd rather go for a elcheapo low performance ( Doesn't need to be that low.. 110/120 Bhp is okay ) car instead of buying a relatively high performance expensive car as your first.
