1 of them is either valued quite a bit outside of what it's really worth or that civic is a dog.

Hmmm I've owned both and I gotta say I liked my Cupra better for the turbo rush but the CTR for the handling
Honda Red is a nightmare for going pink just get it detailed and then keep on top of it.
PS. No way will you keep it standard

'Only selling as i am moving in to my first house.' but he did a swap? I'd of assumed he was selling to raise funds or something.
Either way, if the Civic is straight its a good deal for you.

Make sure the CTR's 2nd gear isnt crunching and more importantly the steering rack isnt making and creaking or strange noises as both are bad for this and expensive to fix.

Seems like a fair trade. You cupra looked mint. CTR with a bit of body work TLC is about 4k
got ac? Should serve you well

yea its got air con and a 6 disk changer. its built so much better than the seat aswell. if im honest my cupra was worth 3.5k max so even if i send a few hundred getting this mint ive got a fair deal.
possible mods eventually may be a gruppe m and 40 suspension kit but not for ages yet

Sell it straight on, make a bit of cash and buy a better one?
Even so, good swap pal!

You done extremely well out of that deal as i cant see what makes your Cupra worth more than 3k imo.
He must have got a good deal on that CTR previously to lose out on what looks to be 1k between ad prices AND do the travelling down.
