I over paid for mine from a dealership to get a good example. They've got another two (black & silver) but there 3-4k which is what I paid over a year ago.

Good luck

I paid 4k just a couple of weeks ago, with 3 months warranty.

Looked at about 9 myself, like you say - they were all dogs and described as "immaculate". Not sure what the general view on immaculate is ...

shame really that they are so dear for a good one. This polo is the hardest car I've ever bought - by a long shot.

I think it is over priced but thats what good ones are going for. Which isn't a bad thing as I want to upgrade soon.

It is more then I really wanted to spend, but having looked at so many and doing about 600 miles to look at them is expensive as well.

The one I found has 39k miles, road tax and 3 months warranty. Got the airco recharged prior to delivery, oil service, now a new exhaust and going in next week for the sticking starter motor and rough stationary running after cambelt change.

It is hard to find one which is not scratched to death or has dents everywhere. The cars shown on this forum are obviously the exception ...

Not scratched to death then? :D

That stereo is different from mine, my CD is above the radio. Did not know they did different combo's.

pvr - I'll let you know how many scratches it has later when i view it!!!!

Yeah i've seen a few combo's of CD player/radio position. It seems more logical to have the CD under the radio to me. Dunno why - it just does!

Sorted!!! :)

Got it.

Really nice. Perfect bodywork, perfect interior (apart from the handles) and runs perfect!!

Full history, full MOT tax till february.

One thing though. The CD in the dash, is it just a single CD? I thought it was a changer of some sort. Seems a bit pointless to me having an extra thing for a single CD!
