The FIAT MAREA & WEEKEND (1997-03) 4DR SALOON 1.9D JTD 110 ELX is a mid-sized family saloon from the late 1990s and early 2000s. It competed with the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Vectra and Peugeot 406; Weekend was the estate version. This four-door ELX offers a more traditional alternative to today’s hatchbacks and SUVs. mycarcheck.com has just one lookup for this exact model, so its figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide. That record shows an average private-sale valuation of £300, 78,000 miles recorded, around 3,000 miles a year and four previous keepers. Check each car’s condition and history carefully, as age and upkeep matter greatly. With its diesel engine and saloon layout, the Marea can suit budget-conscious commuters or small families needing useful everyday space. Its appeal is a straightforward, useful alternative to better-known family cars; expect an older-car ownership experience, and arrange a thorough inspection before buying.
