For sale: MK5 (6J) SEAT Ibiza CUPRA Black 1.8T (This site owner's)

[Syphon]

The time has come to sell the beauty. SEAT/CUPRA's last-ever petrol Ibiza hot hatch. As the owner of this very website, you can be assured that I care about my cars, and this car is a testament to this.

I'm putting it up here a week or so before Auto-trader as I'd like it to go to a community member and continue to be looked after.

I have owned it since October 2020, initially as a stop-gap until the new CUPRA Leon came out, but I fell in love with the Ibiza and wasn't so in love with the new Leon when it appeared, so I have kept it for the last four years, and it has been a hoot.

You can see my reader's ride thread here, but in summary, here's what you are getting.

NB: I'd prefer to leave the tuning box fitted to sell with the car; however, if you'd like the box removed, I'm happy to do this, but the price remains the same.

Other bits

General

• The car is a blast to drive, handles like a go-kart and goes like the clappers.
• Bodywork is in excellent condition with no dents - just the usual stone chips as expected for the mileage.
• Great fun and I will be sorry to see it go but the new CUPRA Leon is calling me.
