I am being offered a Seat Toledo R reg 2.0 Sport Auto in Red.
Ex-demo then 1 owner. Genuine 50,000. Full Seat service. Immaculate. I know him personally so all kosher.
He wants £1,600 for it. It books 9-13 as these cars are rare as hens teeth and very unpopular.
Its basically a Golf Mark III in a Seat bodyshell so reliability/spares should not be an issue.
I say worth it. Comments?

If you know the history of it, are in the market for a car and you like it then buy it.
However it is not a popular car and the words sport and auto don't generally go together, expecially when it's the 2.0 8v out of the golf!
If you are looking to keep it for a while then it's not a bad proposition but if your looking to resell it and make money then forget it.

That's right and, like the Jetta, the boot is enormous - I had two Jettas and sometimes had to literally climb in to get items which had become trapped at the back of the boot.
The Octavia has the same hatchback feature (IIRC) although also shaped like a saloon.

Weel I ummmed and ahhed so he said £1,400 so I said yes so it'll do me until September when I'm going to have to sell it and my three motorbikes...

I quite fancied one one of these, they seem a nice car, and relatively cheap. I sort of gave up on the idea though when I realised a part of me just wanted one to find out how the M in law pronounced it. A woman who shops at Ieka !

I've just got rid of mine, I had a 1996 2.0 16v, same engine as the golf gti. It had all the bells and whistles.
good points
Quick
Lots of toys
huge boot
pretty reliable
fair economy
Bad points
expensive to insure
electricals are less reliable
several rust spots
no image (if you care about that stuff)
low slung (no good over sleeping policemen, especially with darts team in the car)
Firm ride and seats, a bit tiring on a long daily commute
