Gooner_Mike's Ibiza FR 20vt

[Damoegan]

Shame your looking at selling up Mike, but I can see why with your anual milage..

What sort of budget you looking at?

Passat would be a good choice with you having the little nipper.

What about a 1.4TSI mk5 Golf? The Mrs averages circa 45+mpg in her's..

its probally a wise move its getting quite exspnsive keeping a 20vt now i think i do about 9k a year and find the price of fuel etc now is a joke.

Not much of a budget TBH, about £5k at the moment. Will have to see what I can get for mine! Do you think sell as it is or take bits off Damo?

Hopefully someone will want to buy. Should be OK if they only do small mileage! I can get OK MPG but it means driving like a granny everywhere and that's not why I got the car and did the mods....

Dont think its worth taking the bits off mate unless you cant sell it on here or Pistonheads etc..

Was thinking of selling it on here as it is.

I went the opposite way and dont look back! I do more miles than that too, you just gotta drive a little bit more sensibly when commuting and save the foot down for the weekend

Looks like it! We do have a diesel Focus already, so not unfamiliar with dirty diesel!

I have done it for 3yrs now, just thinking about the next 3yrs....

Last two tanks ive had 310-330 by the fuel light coming on the big diesel vag cars normally have a 65-70 litre fuel tank compared to our 45 so should hope they do manage 6-700 miles a tank! Did used to get another 150 odd miles a tank out the old white one mind sound of the 20vt's makes up for it though!

Nice diesel leon would be a good shout, especially as you have a littleun. My mate whos a jap crap lover has just got one as he needed something good on fuel and i actually really like it

 

[Gooner_Mike]

As for the vultureness.. I'll put my wings away now lol, I'm not usually one of those!

Blimey, that's good! I can get that in the summer. Problem is a stretch of roadworks/traffic congestion that I have to go through twice a day. Really hammers the fuel economy TBH. (Hindhead tunnel works on the A3)

I sympathise with you Mike, I can see why you want/need to change. Looking on the bright side though, you seem to have enjoyed ownership of the Ibiza. You've had it a few years now, and as you say with the mileage you do and having a little'un etc, perhaps now is the right time to move on.

Personally if I were you and had a £5k budget... I'd go for an Audi A4 (B6) or A6 (C5) 1.9 TDI PD130. Maybe a 2.5 TDI V6 if you don't mind the extra cost of servicing etc that the V6 requires over the 4 pot. A4 1.9 TDI can be had as a Quattro, the A6 can't though. 600 miles can be had out of the tank of an A6 1.9 TDI if driven sensibly.

As for selling yours, I would assume you're not in a rush... I'd list it for sale as it is on here, PH and the like. If you get next to no interest then I'd consider returning it to standard.

Apologies for making a mess of this page Mike as said, I'm not usually a vulture!

Anyways, it's a shame your considering the future of the Ibiza but all good things must come to an end at some point. Definitely try to stick with VAG though although if a great deal on a BMW turns up I'm sure you'd consider it lol

Good luck with your future car whatever it might be, the Ibiza served you well I'm sure more doors and a TDi lump never hurt anyone did they?
