Interested in buying a 1995 SEAT ibiza GTI

[seatnewbie]

Hi guys,

I am interested in buying a 1995-1996 SEAT Ibiza GTI if I can find one. They seem to be a fun hatch to drive from what I've read on forums.

Is $4000 - $5500 a reasonable price or do they cost more ? What should I look out for ? SEAT doesn't exist in Australia anymore so will spare parts be a problem ? Are there any car repair/service shops specialising in SEAT cars in VIC ?

Thats the best model IMO and the most fun to drive.

Mechanically its the same as a 2L Mk3 Golf, so those parts wont be a problem.

Anything SEAT specific I will have.

$3500-$5000max I reckon.

They are great cars, get one.

parts aren't a problem, and there is heeps of help on forums like this.

If you can find one you like buy it.....

Hi guys,

Thank you for the reply and advice.

Just curious, does anyone know how many Ibiza GTI/ cupra sport were sold in Australia.

1000 Ibizas, 1.4s and 2Ls, I reckon maybe 400 GTIs and 600 1.4, but no records distinguishing them were kept

54 Cupras, they are all 1998/99 model 16vs.

Oh I didn't realise only 1000 Ibizas were sold. No wonder SEAT shut up shops in Australia.

1000 Ibizas
2000 Cordobas
and 300 Toledos.

They were badly marketed at the time and too expensive.
Much like Skoda now.........
