Seat resale values in South Africa
SEAT had one brief official run in South Africa, imported by Volkswagen Group SA from June 2006 until the end of 2008 when poor volumes ended the experiment; in the 1990s the Ibiza platform was built locally as the VW Polo Playa instead. Shared VW parts keep the surviving cars viable.
