My new Cupra Derv

[leeds_182]

The 940 went and I will miss it BUT she was a thirsty beast! My intention initially was to daily the 340 BUT it breaks down every day so I needed something a little more economical for work.

I was looking at fabia vrs but finding a nice one was a bit of a challenge.

This then popped up near me. It was strong money but a lot of the bigger jobs have been done and it looked quite tidy. The car is totally standard too bar a panel filter.

Anyway, did a deal tonight and drove it home. Pretty quick for what it is and should do me on my commute for a few months.

No plans to mod at the moment......well maybe a remap.....coilovers.....spacers.....decat.....but nothing major.

Nice, I like these a lot.

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Smart these. Don't see many at all.

 

[DaveDreads]

So what engine does it have and what bhp is it?

PD160 engine. 160bhp and 245 ft lb.

 

[DaveDreads]

That should be fun.

 

[Mr Plums]

Are the black side strips standard?

Needs lows mate.

 

[_Tom]

Fan of that :up:

 

[Matthew]

Don't usually like SEATs but this looks nice mate.

 

[Scrooge]

I believe so.

I like these. Looked at them ages ago and pretty certain @Daniel said I would have it for shy under ten minutes lol.

That comment applies to any car you own though?? Lol

 

[imprezaworks]

You say that. Rb-December 2015/today's date.

Have thought about changing it since Jan 2016 tbf

 

[Djw John]

6 weeks.

Have you really?? Tbf, the only clio I'd hang on to (apart from my mk1) is a nice RB.
Cooksports, Turinis and an exhaust and leave it alone. I think they're lush.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yep. Have looked at selling it, and did have it advertised on here for a day. Had four pm's too lol. But woke up and saw my error of my ways. It's been a great car and rb is a colour I allways wanted.

It's not my 'special' car. It's my commuter.

The 340 is my special car. Special in so many ways....

Have you owned all the cars ever built yet Jim?
Can't be that far off now.

I was thinking that when looking through my insta the other day!

 

[Crybert]

That looks really nice. Brakes look good too. When you come to sell it can I have first dibs?!

 

[_Tom]

One thing, do always make sure it has the VAG specific oil in. If they don't, they like to eat the cam.

Yeah, cheers for that. The previous owner spent a lot on preventative stuff last year on that.

Speak to you next week.

 

[Herr Flick]

Whats the mileage? What sort of money was it? (obvs don't tell me if it's a secret)

Pm'd you because it's a secret.

 

[Crybert]

Depends on mileage. I'll guess it's on 80k ish and cost him between 3 and 4 grand

Noooooo, 133k but less than 3 and 4 grand.

 

[Crybert]

Oh man it doesn't look like it's on that mileage at all! Great condition

 

[leeds_182]

No, it's got some stone chips to the front but they have been touched up well. Other than a small dent to the passenger side which will probably pull out , it's in great condition.

 

[Crybert]

Cloth interior has held up really well too. Usually those type of seats are covered in stains

Give it a week on the school run and it'll be wiped out.

 

[leeds_182]

Went to show @craigyt - he had to get stuck in!

No more annoying rattle and found some wiring for a sub etc!

 

[Crybert]

What's your opinion on it then?

 

[_Tom]

Hope you kept the JL. 😂 You'll have that thing rattling again in no time.

 

[craigyt]

Awsome car, deceptively quick and on standard suspension very very good in the bends

 

[leeds_182]

I'm really liking it at the moment. Honeymoon period and all that but I've done 100 miles in it today hooning around and the fuel needle has not moved! In the 940 I'd be back for another tank of super at those miles.

As a fun daily it's making good sense at the moment.
