looking for a seat ibiza for my step daughter, the car she has found is 5 door, the logbook says 5, but when I put the reg into comparethemarket, it says it is a 3 door

Any ideas why this would be, obviously don't want to get her a duff car, the garage has done the HP check etc and has the certificate

But I am naturally suspicious lol

thanks

    Have you counted the doors?


    If there are 5, and the "logbook" says 5 then no worries in what CTM says it is!

    Perhaps try another comparison site to see if it thinks the same. Don't know if they all use the same database or not.

    Do doors number 4 and 5 open? Or they just painted on...? I assume this is what you're worried about?

    If you're meaning the rear passenger doors then I'd call them doors 3 and 4 ... but that's another discussion. :)

    Seems to be a comparethemarket issue, did a check on a fiesta 2 days ago and it showed up as a 3 door. But it was a 5 door.

    All the other comparison sites showed it properly.
