    Most VW engines under 2 litres do that sticky starter motor noise, even when relatively new. Ibizas, Polos do it too. I did over 70k in a petrol Passat 1.8 with that noise. Never failed me.

    That's a great car for £200. To get out of safe you need to leave ignition on for 30 mins iirc. When putting code in press scan not prog as the manual was wrong

    I think the design of this Leon is timeless. Still looks good. These were nice cars, had a ABT-tuned TDI and it drove excellent. For 200,- it is like free candy!

    in todays market you should do the little jobs on it and retail it at £1999, nice bit of profit for you!

    Brilliant video. You never know this Seat Leon could be a future classic once fully restored to it's former glory.

    For 200 quid you have got yourself a right bargain. Looks to have been generally well looked after.

    That noise.Window motors working so id bet window regulators broke.

    Hi joe its john from Gibraltar,this SEAT Leon shares the same bodywork and engine as the VW Golf,and been a low mileage unit with full service history,should sell well with a healthy profit. I believe its worth fixing the window regulator and rhe starter motor including touching up those scuffs on the rear wheel arches.

    I would tidy it up... surely thats a £1,995 car and will sell very quickly - offer a longer warranty for a few hundred extra. Someone will have a cracking car.
    Edit: Thats a £2,495 car in this climate with such low mileage. You need to retail this, will possibly generate repeat custom!

  • @adams7405
    @adams7405 Год назад

    That's a tank of petrol for my 540i E39,surprisingly good these early Leon"s and shows you can get a pretty decent car for the price of a meal out.

  • @c11yan
    @c11yan Год назад +1

    At 54k miles it’s worth getting involved with and playing the game at £2495 ☺️

  • @zzhughesd

    200 squids no comm. solid blue. SX or similar trim level Leon. A golf in drag. Loads of risk there !!!! Lol. May even not-loose positive 125 to the scrap man at 325. I can smell feel touch the old Leon from here. Cut my teeth on these. Fiesta 1.25 and Pug 106 independence. VaG locks only work 2/4 or 3/4 locks. Look drive well. Shame we’re in 2023. Early 2000s cars great.

    I assume 'Part Exchange' means a trade in of a car to Partially reduce the price of the car being purchased? As opposed to 'here, it's only good for parting-out'.
    What a pretty color. Love the shape of the whole design. Unlike about every car in this class that has one or two truly awful design elements.
    Bendix. Might need just a rebuild kit if available.

  • @adrianstephens5183
    @adrianstephens5183 Год назад

    Starter probably just wants lubrication on end bush and the worm spigot under the bendix

  • @garyclements2821
    @garyclements2821 Год назад

    I'd buy that, that's a car you can park anywhere and not care, my ex missus used to joke she needed a taxi to get from our car to Tesco main door as I always parked far end of the car park....and would come out to find a car either side of me who had also driven past 200 empty spaces, but that wee Seat I'd buy today and it's a Seat/VAG group car it will run forever regardless of how it looks

    £200 for a low mileage Leon with 19 SH stamps. That could be worth very good money

    I would see what it needs for a fresh MOT, If that's all good machine polish it, Do a better touch in job on the scuffs and flog it for 1K+, Ideal 1st car and it's low mileage!

  • @andrewmorton3177

    Flipping heck it's basically a rebodied VW Golf with low mileage that just needs a bit of TLC - got to be a bargain for someone who can handle a spanner and polish mop.

      Just means wrong code been put in wrong so many times. But all you do is leave ignition on for 30 mins or so and it resets it
