Hi All,
I am new to the forum, but I have had a number of Seat Cordoba's.
Currently I have had 3 and my wife has had 1.
I only just bought the fourth and a tinkering project two weeks ago as they are so much fun to drive.
The first Cordoba was from new and it was my first new car and had to wait for it to come into the country. It lasted 5 years, was great till a jerk in a Commodore ran up the back of it without slowing down. The police and tow truck guys were so surprised who it held together, but the whole chassis was bent.
I bought my second one 1995 GLX about 6 months later and it lasted over 10 years before I traded it in as it was having a few little issues which I couldn't afford to fix, but nothing major. It got to 270K. Fantastic little car.
My wifes cordoba was a Silver 1995 GLX and it was the lemon of the lot. I t had great character, but that was from trying to put it together, stop it leaking and all other things. One mechanic told us it was a coffe make because it below it's whole transmission after an NRMA inspection.
So after a 4 year break but always keeping an eye open I have just bought another cordoba as tinkering toy project.
It is a 1996 GLX in white in pretty good condition, which I hope to improve on in future.
My wife and I are flying down to melbourne on the weekend to drive back leisurely to Syndey on the long weekend. So should be a nice roadtrip and little the cordoba open up. It had been sitting in the dealer for a while and sales guy had no idea what he was trying to sell.
Anyway I will update with some photo's when I get the chance over the next week or so.
Golf Loon I think I may need to come and drop in as I could do with someone that knows the car. Over the years I have had some stuff ups with dealers messing around with the Cordoba's and not having any idea what they are doing.
