What's the trade in value of my SEAT Ibiza?

I have a five-door SEAT Ibiza Copa 1.4 SE on a 2011 plate, with 30,000 miles on the clock. There's a couple of small scrapes on the back bumper and the car has a set of 17-inch wheels, which I added myself. I would like to know how much I would get for it as a trade in or as a private sale. Also, which car should I replace it with?

Here's what our pricefinder says: www.honestjohn.co.uk/used-prices/SEAT/Ibiza/2011/?...l

P/x £5350. If you still have the original wheels, the car will be worth more with them than with the aftermarket 17-inch alloys. You can then sell the 17-inch alloys online.

Astra 1.4 Excites are currently going cheap at £12,595, with 17-inch alloys, Bluetooth and LED DRLs. But I'd go for either a Peugeot 308 1.2 Puretech 130 or a Citroen Cactus 1.2 Puretech 110. More torque than the Focus 1.0 Ecoboost and VAG 1.2 and 50mpg. You'll be lucky to get low 40s out of the Focus. See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/ford/focus-2011
