Hi guys,
Heres a good one. I have stumbled across a nice little polo. What do you think its worth? Here are the specs:
Factory standard - nout changed
1.4CL Automatic
Original headunit
R Reg (so that makes it 10 years old I think)
Flash Red paintwork - in as new condition
14000 miles - and yes i did type fourteen thousand
Good tyres and whatnot.
So what do ya think
Cheers,
Alex

I think its an automatic..... would put me off instantly.
14000 is very few miles for a 10 year old car, if its genuine mileage then great, but I think I'd find myself asking why its done so few miles.
Otherwise sounds good but I think it would fetch less than a manual box car of the same standard simply because theres probably less demand for automatic.

I would say for a manual box car maybe about £1800-£2000?
Not sure if it being an automatic would make much of a difference.

i would say 2000. but as it's auto i wouldn't want it so i recon other would feel the same. maybe an older person wouldn't mind it and would be willing to pay that bit extra for its good condition.
verdict; 1800 - 2000
