Looks reasonable, no milage showing though. I wouldnt buy one with a mismatched front end.

No Flapper, it's black...

spookily there was a kiwi one on here not so long back with a carbon copy of the same things wrong with it too hence me guessing the colour

I haven't seen any pics or the link but for the money you are willing to pay hold out for a good one that as all the bits there!

Air bag missing, wrong headlights and grille shouts out to be it's been in a bump! The headlights are £70 each from the dealer so it's no reason to replace it with non GTi! Might be worth looking at the wiring as the non GTi lamps as H4 whereas the GTi lamps have H1's so the loom would need altering!?

Mikeh, it's on Flebay... 140k no thanks! Been looking everywhere really!

Exactly Dave, I know . Ah well - keep looking I think. Where did you guys get your cars from? I mean, my best bet is someone off here, who've meticulously owned it, looked after it (I hope)

 

[M1KEH]

Keep waiting, one will come up. Do you want a particular colour?

 

[LMJ]

Black Magic or Bengal Yellow... Preferably with the AC/Sunroof combo! Tigerstripe, or that could be fitted after! But I'm led to believe that both colours have that upholstery?

 

[LMJ]

Oh and - here's the link. Since been in contact, and got more pics via text.

[M1KEH]

I believe they both have tigerstripe yes. AC/sunroof combo I don't understand why you would want. One or the other is most likely and I'd rather just have the AC.

 

[LMJ]

No, all I'm saying is all the AC models tended to have the sunroofs... Which doesn't make sense. That's all I meant from the AC/Sunroof combo

Not worth it for that money. If you can knock him down to about £600 is more like it for a 16v with no mot or tax and with faults.

 

[LMJ]

Mhm... it's since had an MOT. So no, let's forget about that tbh. Could keep this open as a shout out from anyone who's seen anything. Preferably under 75k too

I know the one that you mean Flapper. It was for sale in a town only 12 miles from me. Im sure someone Wales way bought it.

Used it for my last car...
To be honest with you... the main thing id be looking for on an ibiza is the state of the bodywork for rust etc...

 

[LMJ]

yeah I'm scanning pistonheads everyday mate! ... Mine's for sale on there!

 

[ibiza_95]

might aswell buy my mk1 golf tbh... ibizas are over rated anyway

 

[LMJ]

don't talk me out of it I've set my heart on one... I'm yet to own one.

What he said

 

[M1KEH]

Get roly's cordoba, it's the nicest colour you can get and is pretty much an ibiza.

 

[LMJ]

no, I don't want a Cordy... I'll wait
