the golf and S3 hold their money very well.  however if youdont mind sacrificing on the interior a bit, you could getthe cupra for about 8-10k now.

Not a K1 though, which it would have to be! These are still holding value well.

the interior on them is diabolical i think.  much lower class than the rest of the VAg range, but i must admit, exterior wise they look ace.  and the fact that they depreciate faster than the S3 and Ed30 make them an absolute bargain.

id deeply consider one, although  k04 engine in mine would work better for me though

Engineering wise is the K1 any different? I thought it was just the BTCC body kit!

I know what your saying about the K04, the Octavia is hard to beat for practicality and the the interior buries the Leon which is a bit pants.  :smiley: sorry to the Leon owners  :ashamed:

Yeah same engine, the standard cupra looks pants next to the K1 though!

the k1 was just a ploy from UK seat dealers for money making.

they took a standard cupra, fitted a K1 body kit to it, andf then rebadged the car as a k1 and demanded a large surcharge for this.  other than that it is an identical car with a much larger price tag. 

they do look smart though, ill give it that.

me personally id go for a normal cupra. TFSI_mikes looks lovely, if anything beter than the k1
