Sooo after 6 and a half years of owning my Mk4 Ibiza from new I have finally taken the plunge and bought it's replacement, picked it up last weekend and decided seeing as I have the day off work today to get a few quick pictures up and do a quick RR thread as I've never done one previously.
The wife and I spent many hours scouring adverts and websites to find "the one" and I stumbled across a lovely looking speed blue LCR which was in our budget, a quick call to the dealer to ask about the car was met with very positive reviews (although I guess most dealers will talk any car up) so we decided to go and have a look, when we got to the dealers we could see the car was totally mint as described and after a test drive we decided it was coming home with us, we were that impressed, no visible stone chips, scuffs on the wheels or rips or marks on the interior trim, the only thing we found was a tiny little scuff on the drivers seat back which is barely noticeable (and having looked back at these pics the rear pipes look a little off centre but I will check that and get it sorted if that's the case).
It was a little strange seeing the back of my old car having been the only owner from new I got more attached than I realised and it was sad to see her go but as much as I loved my old Ibiza the difference between the two cars really is night and day, interior and exterior is just so much better quality wise and it's a much more comfortable car to drive and has all the options ticked barring sunroof I believe
I won't go into the details of money but it was a good price and still has dealer warranty until the end of the year which was a big bonus, so it'll give me plenty of time to weed out any little bits that need attention before I have to foot the bill myself.
Planned mods to be honest are going to be quite minimal because at the moment I love the car exactly as it is, I do have a few little inexpensive mods that I plan to do around pay day but I will update this thread as and when that happens, but I don't plan to be doing any big money mods as I don't think the car really needs it, and looks wise other than maybe going down the Sportlines route I don't think much will change.
Anyway enough waffling from me, pictures are far more interesting
