Re: Buying a Seat IbizaYou've always been interested in the lesser known marques, atleast that's what I've noticed. Alfa, Seat, Opel etc.
I know mainstream is boring but there is a reason everyone goes mainstream (Corolla/Civic) Anyway, I don't know anyone who owns a Seat so I think I can't say anything in this situation. Give respect, get respect.
Re: Buying a Seat Ibiza^ its just a coincidence, i found a bargain, i just dont want to miss it.. As a seat the resale value is poor & im getting it for a great price with FSH, lady driven.. My concern is how expensive parts can be, i assume i can manage interchanging VW, skoda bits on a seat.. Mainstream models have a high resale value & my budget is a college student budget...
Re: Buying a Seat IbizaRemember that if a car has poor resale, you'll be getting it cheap and selling it for cheap too.
Give me more details on the whole thing, I won't steal your sale Give respect, get respect.
Re: Buying a Seat IbizaSelling 4 AED 8K, 122K km, FSH, manual, Lady driven, agency maintained.
Digital A/C, sunroof, alloys, 1.4 engine (dont know if its the 16v model which is much more powerful). I checked the car & drove it real smooth engine & gearbox BUT! the reasons for selling it with such a price: - Crack in front windshield - 4 power windows dont work, unsure if its a blown fuse - Paint on roof has fading spots, so will need a repaint.. So im not yet confident if its a good deal
Re: Buying a Seat IbizaOk. Seat is really a VW, but made in Spain. Many of the parts are the same as other VW models (I think Ibiza shares its platform with the VW Polo, though it might look like a Golf).
The dealer is Bin Dhaher, and you can get many old VW spare parts to work on them. Having said the above, do you really want a 1.4 liter engine car with a small weak body. One unfortunate bumper hitting you on a round about can spin this car over. The price is enticing I must say. How old is the car? If you can use it for a couple of years, then even selling it for scrap is a good deal. Otherwise, if I would go for an oldie type car, I would atleast look for some 'cult' appeal..something you can play around with and pimp up without spending too much.

Re: Buying a Seat Ibiza^ its '02 model... im tempted cuz its cheap & i could keep it on the long term without having a hard time with the new registration laws & throw it away without any hesitation... Reason why im buying a small manual car is because i would like to occasionally use it in Autodrome's redline challenge, many use ibizas & they're praised for their decent handling... I already tracked an Opel Astra (Automatic, unfortunately) & my current fiat barchetta... Bottom line im not into pimping & posing on the streets i feel its kinda a waste of money, no offense for those who like to...
Re: Buying a Seat IbizaIf its for track racing go for it! Cant get anything cheaper than that in my experience. Plus its manual, so more fun on the track.
