I am going to start saving and stop spending on my coupe. Everytime I see an LE the more I want 1 and i don't think this passion for owning a LE will disappear.
Looking for the best way i can get to having an LE. I am going to look for a garage that will take my coupe for a px on a LE. do anyone know a garage that do this?? whats my best options.

Whats the big difference apart from some body trim? Well you might ask. One of the LE boys will be along to tell you how much better they are shortly, I would imagine

Craig, I would concentrate on finding an LE you want to buy first, you don't want to have to buy a dog just because the garage is willing to take your car as a px. T2ffn, see here for some info on the differences
Ex 20VT - now something far more sensible'ish...

i know there is not a lot of differences. oh part from the seats..lol
Just that i have spent a lot of money on my coupe and i feel that i a burning my money as my coupe is on 102k. where as the LE holds the price better. I am going to buy a bigger turbo and FMIC.. shite load of other bits so i can get 300/350bhp. Think is it worth doing on a coupe thats done 102k.

Is the start button only on the LE as I've seen a coupe for sale, not advertised as an LE but it does say start button... and only has one pic, cant see any details... have asked for more. Is a full service history very important? Says it has "nearly full" history... hmmm... looks like a bargain...

Also get a start button on the plus's and they can be retro-fitted too so could be on a normal coupe too. These cars should be inspected thoroughly, its not good enough to just rely on Service History. Also depends on where the services have been carried out. Im sure others will be along shortly to add to the above

just wait for the right LE to come up, buy it, then worry about selling the 20VT! I've had 2 coupe's for 7 months now!

Yeah, do what it takes to get the LE first, then decide what to do with the old one after in your own time

Yep agreed, thats what I did - get your LE - then sell your other Coupe at your leisure, you'll get stitched if you try and do a p/x deal with a trader
