Looking at a Seat Ibiza tomorrow, it's a 1.4 on an S plate, bloke wants around £700 for it. It has 72k on it.

This a fair price? Anybody know much about them? I know that it's basically just a rebadged Polo so should be fairly solid and reliable, just wondering if anybody knew much about them?

 

we had a 1.9 d in the family for 6 years, no bother at all had 115k on the clock when we sold it in spring this year on a p plate for £900

good cars in my book, not a performace car at all but for everyday reliable runner there sound

 

x plate cupra - nothing but problems ... why didnt I keep my fiesta

 

£700 is well cheap for one of them assuming it's the newer version?

trouble with the turbos is the engine bay is very crampt and hot which makes vacuum pipes/wires break.

 

James, it was the older version that I think ran from 1994 upto about 2000ish.

Anyway have abandoned going to see this Ibiza today, my sister (who lives at the other end of the country) phoned me up today to say she has just got a Pug 206 picking it up next week. She has R reg Seat Cordoba 1.4, which is essentially the same car as the Ibiza anyway, garage have said they'll give her £850 part ex, so i'm going to honour that and buy it off her Least I know it's been looked after/regulary serviced etc

Coincidence or what
