Used Seat Ibiza For Sale

Used Seat Ibiza 2002 – Buyer’s Guide

Why buy a Used Seat Ibiza?

The Seat Ibiza is a rightfully successful small hatchback based heavily on the VW Polo. Which means an excellent chassis and engine options. Easy to use and cheap to run the Ibiza is a sensible, practical choice in this sector.

If you are looking for a small hatch in this sector the Ibiza is a cool and sensible choice. A great range of VW petrol and diesel power plants combine with incisive handling and a roomy, comfortable interior.

Which is the best used Seat Ibiza?

Go petrol with the Ibiza. The diesel power plants command a premium of around £1000 and these engines are getting to a point where reliability can be an issue.

The 1.4 petrol is more than adequate for such a small, light car. Trim wise we would recommend a SE model car as this should have an adequate spec for what is, basically, a practical purchase.

What should I aim to pay for an Seat Ibiza?

Pay in the region of £4900 for a 5 year old SE model with the 1.4 petrol engine. A similar diesel model should cost no more than £800 more.

Depreciation is l steady on these cars as they benefit from the 'small car premium.£ There is no best time to buy.

Seat Ibiza For Sale Prices & Depreciation Trend

Used Car Expert recommends that you try to buy after a big drop in depreciation and before the next one, so with the current Seat Ibiza you would aim to buy a 1 year old and sell it before it is 2 years old.

Petrol Seat Ibiza cars lose most over the first year (from new to 1 year old), so that is the best ‘nearly new’ buy in terms of car for money.

Diesel Seat Ibiza cars lose least between years 1 and 3, so this is the best buy if you want to keep the car for a while.

Petrol Seat Ibiza cars lose least between years 2 and 4, so that is the best buy on older cars.
