General Time to go !!

After 3 years of owning my mjet sporting it's time to trade in !! Swooping tomorrow for a seat Leon fr tdi, to my surprise the car has decided to run like a bag of nails !! Struggling for power I almost sure it's the egr valve again which was replaced 16 months ago. Cleaned it yesterday seemed ok but after driving it today it's the same, should I tell the dealer tomorrow or just park it up exchange cars and drive away ??

Park up, make out like it runs like a dream. They'll have a budget to cover any problems anyway.

When I traded in my Astra for the Mjet I parked it up with, broken headlight motor, broken spring, broken exhaust, and a new fault was the window wipers stopped wherever they wanted on the screen, so we had to time when to wash the windows on the drive down there haha

I traded my Clio in with problems that would cost far more to fix than the car was worth.

Nice to see your trading in for a good looking car like the leon, what colour you went for?
It looks great in white, red or the bright blue.

Sounds nice, I would have got an 07 one in white if I could have afforded the insurance at the time.

Well when you're paying at least a grande more for the car than what it is worth, and the faults on the car you traded in would only cost a couple of hundred to fix. The garage is still coming out better off

Magic Johnson · Feb 3, 2011

Sometimes you win, sometimes the garage wins. The car business is not a pleasent one to work in at all.

To be fair though willey he's buying a car with much better build quality than the GP - i think lol

Just going off what i've read about the car

Just spotted this...was that intentional?

willeywilson · Feb 3, 2011

Hahahaha it wasn't intentional. Although I reserve the right to say it was

Not even a brand new cupra r?

netspyros · Feb 3, 2011

Performance is not what i am looking for, design is the answer

But if one day i will also need the performance i will definitely go for a GP Abarth.

I have had five Seats the last an old style Leon Cupra - not the best all had major problems at some time.

Mind you we still have our 03 Arosa in the family still going strong.

The new Leons could tempt me back though...... perhaps a Revo Cupra

Have fun

I'd kill myself in one of those haha. Had a shot in the current petrol fr and that was quick enough!!

The SEAT interiors are so drab it's unreal.
