Good deal on this Leon FR?

Hi,

Spotted this Leon FR on auto trader outside Belfast. One of the issues for me is it's a 2 door, which I've never owned before but don't have kids etc so not a deal breaker but very much used to 4 door saloons, it's the only type of car I've owned.

Plus I'm not sure about the 18" alloys, they look nice alright but the ride might be firm on them and would reduce mpg.

I'm a bit conflicted about the next car, my head is saying buy a minimum hybrid or maybe full electric, 90% of my driving is urban. Diesel is pointless.

Anyways have a look at the Leon, maybe owners on here who could advise.

You will need to add VAT and VRT on top of that.
So I'd wager at least another 10k onto the price.
15k GBP is roughly 18k euro so if it were me I'd go for a new 1.5tsi with 150 for 22k here directly in the south.
My opinion anyway.

I had a look on the VRT calculator site and only the 1.2TSI is listed, there is a regular 1.4 Leon, but no 1.4TSI

Anyway I mucked about with the calculator on the 1.2TSI and VRT was approx 17%.

So if that's in the ballpark then €18k plus €3k - imported.

New 1.4 TSI 125 here is €25660 ex works, so I'd imagine they'd put an OMSP of 23k on it, so that would be €3900 VRT.

But you need to add VAT to that.

Weird, I did a check on their website and a 1.5 tsi is coming in at 22k unless I've checked incorrectly

Good deal on this Leon FR?
