After months of searching we have just purchased a little white 1999, Mk2 Ibiza Cupra GTI 2.0 16V for my
daughter as her first car. She paid half, Mum & Dad I paid the rest... $3,000. 140,000kms with a good service history.
After looking at a LOT of cars (Hyundai's, Mitsub's, Toyota's, etc, etc) she fell in love with the little Cupra. I must admit it's a bit faster than what I wanted her to get in as her first car...but it also has a lot more safety features and handles 10 times better.
Car has Koni coil overs on each corner, K&N filters, interior is mint and all the other standard stuff.
Probs:
Need to find a front left fog light surround...you know that little piece of plastic?
Can't work out fuel gauge yet...seems to have a mind of it's own
Lights behind fan and heater switch on centre console not working ?? Have to find the bulb that lights these up
Got some paint missing on skirts and 2 x dents... All will be repaired and resprayed this weekend in 2K
....All little things
Although it is a pretty rare car here in Oz I am hoping the VW similarities and hopefully things like this forum should mean finding parts when we need them isn't too difficult.
Biggest problem she will have is probably trying to stop Dad driving it
