which one shall i buy!!

[gazbo88]

after numerous amounts of painstaking hours researchings on the internet looking for a new car i discovered the ibiza 1.9 tdi fr and fell in love straight away! i can not wait to get one. it looks amazing in black and especially red i was wondering though as i am still a newbie and to all this i would really appriciate your knowledge. i have bout 5500k to spend which is the best Fr i can get for this money and which one comes with the fr interior you know like steering wheel and gear knob .... your advice would be very much appriciated as i just want the best for my long saved money!

I got my red fr tdi last week for 6200 on an 06 plate from a main dealer. Just so you have a bit of a gauge on how much you should be aiming to spend...

i was offered 3750 for my 54 plate fr tdi in november from a nissan dealer in part exchange, covered nearly 60k then.
needless to say i kept the car - i love it to much. still bought the nissan too

does every year have the fr interior ? the gear knob and the steering wheel ? and is the face lift model the one with the multi-functional steering wheel.. sorry bout all the questions lol

I think the 04-05? models came without the multi-functional steering wheel, mine is a May 06 model which comes with a multi-functional steering wheel. From about 56 plate onwards is the facelift model which comes with I B I Z A lettering on the bootlid with an fr badge at the back and new front and rear bumpers and the FR gearknob and seats. Not sure if there are any more significant changes but im sure someone else will fill you in
