Cheap, old VW Polo

marc.faulkner

Hiya,

I'd appreciate some advice regarding a car which I have been offered by a colleague. I currently drive an Alfa Romeo 156, however it's crippling me with repair bills so has to go ASAP!

I have very little cash to pay for a car at the moment, but living in a rural area now I rely on it to get me about.

The car's details are as follows - how much do you reckon it may be worth?

1992 September registered Volkswagon Polo
3 door hatchback
Petrol
1.1L
26,000 miles on the clock
One old lady (in her eighties) owner since new - genuinely!
Careful driver - apart from parking too close to a post which has put the driver off from driving!
Full service history
No MOT - but has never failed
No Tax - disc cashed in
Needs new wing mirror on passenger side
Slight dent in passenger wing
Low cost to tax
Low cost to run

Cheers,

lilac_lady

How much does it cost? If ok, buy NOW!

That's just it, I've been asked to "make an offer" for it - as the lady hasn't a clue what it is worth!

It is worth approx £250.

A friend has a low mileage 1990 Polo still going strong.

Some welding has been done to the sills though.

Overall, they are tough little cars

My wife's Polo is from 1994.It's a superb little car. No frills - no electric windows etc. but great economy, cheap insurance and tax.
Go for it !!

as long as it will pass an MOT, chassis rust could be a killer
