A chap came down from bristol and gave me the asking price.
To be fair he got a great buy. there wasnt a single thing which didnt work on the car and its got a brand new clutch, brakes etc etc.
Im happy because i got realistic amount for it and he got a lot for his money.

"You can sleep in a car but you can't drive a house".

thats true!
The ibiza should still be fun to drive. i plan to either get one with a stage one map or get a standard one and have it mapped, then it will be the same power to weight as the stage 1 s3 i sold.
Interior quality will be hard to live with when compared to the s3.

Good luck mate, you'll enjoy the Ibiza Cupra! Still good little cars, not as good as an S3 but you can't win all the time eh!

i want something with good mpg but was still fun to drive, they are pretty capable cars. I did say i wouldnt buy a car without leather interior but like you say, you cant have it all.
Hopefully itll be a decent stop gap whilst i do a house up, then who knows? i definatly wouldnt rule out going back to an s3....
