its in proper good condition checked underneath it e.t.c and couldn't find any rust ! checked the engine e.t.c as you normally would everything looked fine the only problem we found was there was a little bit 2 much oil in the engine when we done the dip stick!
that can easily be sorted just bleed the engine to the correct amount of oil!
i paid 1495 though ,, tryed our best to buch the price down but he wouldn't due to all the work they had done to the car they replaced some of the wings ,, and the interior of it looks perfect condition and hasn't been smoked in !
il take some photos to show you when i pick it up on saturday!

1495 - blimey, you must have wanted that car and it must have shown - i am not trying to be clever BTW. Negotiating for stuff is a skill you will learn.
TBH around 400.00 is the max it is worth. The mileage is kind of irrelevant, it is a 12 y/o french car. pretty much base model, not a classic, not a sort ofter car as such.
I would strongly suggest that next time you do the valuation/research prior to going looking at cars - Autotrader is a good place to gauge prices although i would always allow 10% less for haggling/wiggle room
A good car to learn road craft and repairs but matey - you paid around a grand more than it is actually worth. It might be worth 1450 to you but the reality is you could have brought two of them and had change.

Please, please do not buy a warranty from the garage, on a car that age it will all be down to wear and tear and pretty much nothing will really be covered!
Save you money, and as ant points out of you have paid a deposit, walk away or try to get it back you are paying twice what it is really worth and that is being kind on price

Come on gents, dont you all remember your first car ? Keeping a wise head was impossible, as all I wanted was to get the thing and drive it.
I quite like the 106 model, and Im sure its cheap on fuel and insurance, so well done matey. Like the guys are saying above, next time, try to research the values a bit more, as you've paid a bit too much. But, hey, if you like the car and are happy, then cool.
No doubt your going to `improve it` with performance parts etc, all I can say is becareful with the mods, make sure they are safe and look in keeping with the car. Lots of young lads around my way really ruin thier cars with pointless mods, and just become targets for the police.
Anyway, well done for buying your first car, try and keep sensible and enjoy driving. When I go my first car, I could stop driving everywhere and anywhere ! :-) Still love it 20 years later :-)
Out of interest, my first car was a C reg Seat Ibiza GLX. 3 door, 1.5, electric windows, 45K, black and I loved it ! After 2 years I then upgraded to a Seat Ibiza SXI, in red.
Im now in a retro moood, and am trying to find a Seat Ibiza SXI, in red, so if you see one for sale, pm me.
