Seat Ibiza - Part ex - damaged vehicle - dstarling

Hello,

I'm looking to part-ex my vehicle when starting a new finance deal at Honda. I have a 2005 Seat Ibiza 1.9 TDI Sport 100 with the following issues:

103,000 miles

All 4 alloys scuffed

Engine management light on - issues with turbo

Both front brake pads scored

Large dent/scratch on passenger side doors affecting both doors

Radio knob missing

Minor cosmetic damage elsewhere.

Would a Honda dealer take this in for part-ex? It would cost too much to fix the damage to get a reasonable price elsewhere... Also, what would you think I would be looking at getting? I'm not too optimistic...

Thank you in advance.

Why not ask the Honda dealer after all its they who will say yas or no and how much.

Due to the age and condition of the car, the dealer wouldn't be looking to sell it/spend money on it, and it would go to auction anyway.
