Hi guys,
Although I’ve been lurking on the forum for quite a while, I’d like to introduce myself and my ‘07 Ibiza Cupra TDI from South Africa.
As some of you might know, Seat was only in here in South Africa from 2006 to 2008, and exited the market due to VW losing more and more market share to Seat. Needless to say, Seats aren’t very common down here, and those that have stood the test of time are either really far gone or forever cars to their owners.
I bought my Cupra from my older sister just over a year ago, and she bought the car from my tuner a year and a half before that.
