I only bought this last saturday, but i'm pissed off and want to get rid. I swapped my mint 73k miles seat leon Cupra for a ATR with a shitbox.

I had my Cupra up for £2795 and did a straight swap so making a loss im basically taking the cost of a Rebuilt box + off the price I paid.

The car has very good history with service stamps, receipts and MOT'S

TAX - dec 2012
MOT - April 2013

The car has only done 83k miles and is running a healthly 176whp dyno'd last sunday, day after I bought it! Its completely standard, just has the resonator removed.

The only small faults, aircon clutch doesn't engage, minor scratch on lower passenger door, no stereo and rear speaker grills, front lights cloudy and drivers door seal wearing through slightly, wheels have small curbing. All very minor. But i'm listing it as I have been fecked over with buying two cars and don't like doing the same.

The rest of the bodywork is very very good and so is the interior. Not one mark except what I have listed above.

Extra's:

Has a Cobra alarm and Nokia Bluetooth phone setup.
Black diamond front pads

The issues with the gearbox are it crunches at 4krpm + for 5th and doesnt like coming out of reverse.

I really can't be arsed with putting money into it, as I have a rx8 sat on the drive and a prelude im stripping. Cars are pissing me off.

I could easily fit a 2nd hand box or take it to vtecdirect but I rather get rid, I wanted one of these for ages but this has worn me down

I'm Waiting on v5 though. Im well known on PUK and ludegeneration and I don't like ripping people off.

I can email pictures just done this too see if theres any interest.

07411088517 no offers as I will break it or.... fix it

This is what happens when you do a swap that's why people do it to get rid of cars with problems.

Your not going to get 2k for a w plate atr with a broken box, mate.

Your looking at around 1500 maximum.

Located in Ross on Wye.

Theres cars a year newer, more miles demanding over 2.5k?

This car has no rust, laquer peel, bubbles. The shell is that good.
