Have you had a look to see what they are going for, that's probably the best way.

03's are the very very very first ones, you'll be lucky to find a good one.

I think the exact opposite. You pay under the odds for them and I'm not sure why.

One at 2k will be absolutely shit, 6k is far too much for one of that age.

You could get a decent one a few years old for 6k.

Hard to find with xenon's as well, xenon's are

Loved mine, would have another one if it wasn't for the fact I wouldn't find one in as good nick again.

Only car I've ever been disappointed to see driving away.

Stage 1 remap and a cupra tdi air intake takes these from 130bhp to 185bhp. 0-60 is about 6.6/6.7.

I loved mine... (Ibiza FR)

Was coming up to 3 years old and I was changing jobs, at the time it was a good idea, they don't seem to have dropped much more since then though, should have kept it.

Right had a little browse at ibizas. Which I am quite pleased as I really wanted one A few years ago. But could some one tell me the difference between fr's and just the tdi sports? Apart from age (fr's seem to be 04 onwards) and slight styling can't see alot!

Yeah...

Suspension is different in the FR, I think?

Other than that, styling.

That alright. No matter what the first thing I will be doing is getting new suspension and having it set up correctly
