I would have been spitting blood if i were travelling that far just for the ibiza........

Faults were>

Hardly able to select first gear (and if you could it would crunch in and/or pop out again)
an engine mount was knackered
lowered on standard or knackered shocks
rattling noise from the top end (i will post a video of this later!)

Apart from that it was a decent car lol.....needless to say i walked away from it

I did however swap my C reg Golf gti 8v 3 door with 146k miles for an M reg Golf gti 16v with 115k miles in liverpool, drives lovely, didn't miss a beat in the 301 miles we did in it today

If you carefully look at that picture of the golf you can actually see it slowly sinking into the ground due to its sheer weight.
