Afternoon

Currently own a 52 plate 03, Leon Cupra R, Remapped to around 270bhp. Fuel is crippling me, and I have decided that im going to sell as ive got to the point in my life where I want to start saving for once.

First of all, does anyone know how much the car is worth?

Onvi yellow, 56k, just been serviced and tax'd and MOT'd, new front brake discks and pads costing over £200.

Second question,

I want something cheap, that doesn't look shit, and is quite nippy but nothing that is going to drain my fuel bill...

Don't want to do this but hate being skint every month

cheers guys

Oh no, it seems as if you have categorized the A3 as none boring. JR will track you down!

I hated it when I had to pay 1/6th of the value of the car on what I class as a non-consumable part (immobilizer)
