Newbie checking out a deal....

[RobWar]

Hey guys!
i don't actually own a polo yet.. going looking at a 2000 VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1.6 S 4dr Saloon with 100k milage.. £650


exterior looks clean and interior (only front shots available) looks a little dirty but no damage..
too good to be true?

i was looking at toledo's or maybe even a DT bora but insurance says this is my best choice
going down with a mechanic tonight to check it out.. if everything is mechanically sound would you guys say this is a bargain??
ohh and its on steely's but with caps (can solve that though )

i normally wait until i actually own the car before i reg on forums but i really really want this car to be sound!!

car history goes
.9 petrol cinqucento
1.4 petrol brava (never actually drove, bought and sold on)
1.9TD S 306 << broke down alot and had selotape covering a big hole in the roof haha

lol is this polo a mkIV??

[benmkiv]

this looks beautiful!

sounds like a bargain too

[Bepe]

i spy some rust on the rear arch, doesnt sound to bad priced really, probably about right with that mileage, oh and its partially a mk4 and partially a mk5, the shell is a mk4 where as the dash is mk5 normally

[RobWar]

bought the car!! the rust on the rear wheel arch isn't too bad and apart from exhaust blowing a little bit (passed MOT on friday with it..) everything is good
gonna give it a service (oil looks good) and spark leads have already been changed amongst other things so just plugs and need to clean carb (i think.. mechanic said haha)
just swapped car over on insurance so gonna take it for a spin tomorrow morning too excited to sleep haha

[RobWar]

ohh managed to knock him down by £10 (he was proper not happy about that either but fuel tank was empty)
hopefully will have some better pics up for everyone to see soon

[RobWar]

So is this the area i should be asking Q's about my car?

its partially a mk4 and partially a mk5

leaves me abit :S lol
Don't worry guys! im not gonna start begging for help because the engine set on fire.. was just wondering about installing my old headunit into the polo.. or my friend has a standard T reg vw bora 6-7 cd changer and i was wondering if i could hook that up (the wiring to the cd changer from the headunit was through the car and comes out at a port at the back - isn't looking promising but if its common cable i could sort it .. lol
