polo 55 plate 1.4 tdi....yes or no ? should i buy?

[chirag1988]

it can be a bit noisy, but a sub-woofer can easily drown it out but its not that bad to be honest. sluggish - well it is a 1.4 after all, but for what it is i've beaten a few cars off the mark and and i haven't done anything to the standard 75bhp engine. you just have to let the engine warm up a bit first though (about 10ish mins, maybe a bit more if its cold), then it kicks a bit more. economy is great as well, 50mpg average wherever i go

Thats way too much money for a 1.4tdi even if it is a 55 plate. I got my 2002 1.9TDi sport with 65k on it for £3900 which is about right. I could understand a low mileage one being around that price but for a car with over 100k its rediculous

ok.........can you guys find me a 55 plate then for £4250 or less then.

No way is one with 110k+ worth more than £4k....

What trim is it? I think it's overpriced by at least a grand.

With regards to MPG, I did about 150 miles today in mine at 80 MPH for most of the way and averaged 53.8 MPG. They're a bit sluggish as standard, but are pretty nippy when remapped.

not buying it now.....it was a 'SPORT'

a couple of TWIST models on autotrader for 3.8k with less than 100k. I must say they seem to hold their value!

[K.I.T.T.]

I'm surprised as well. Was toying with the idea of trading up but didn't realise they held their value that well. 3.5 years and 20k miles later and I seem to have lost about a grand!
