    What do you expect for £600? The low price is probably because its probably a relatively high insurance group/road tax, so next to no buyers for it. Get out there and drive it!

    Mazda 323 1.6 on a 2001 plate would struggle to get £600 round here so I would say you have paid too much LMAO. Bear in mind you have paid £600 for a 10 year old car, its an average price really and you can't compare it price wise to a VW polo or ford fiesta. A 98 polo is going to more desirable than a mazda 323 especially with younger drivers so will hold its value a bit better.
    Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.

    unsaleable here
    unless someone came in and didnt do their homework first;)
    dear insurance
    dear road tax
    high maintenance costs
    high fuel costs

    as i said you should have bid £400 as it would have attained £200 only if trader cubed it
