Polo 1.4s spares or repair
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2013 1:36 pm
Guys I hope this doesn't break any forum rules, but I couldn't see anything about minimum post to place a forsale thread.
Basically I'm selling my GFs polo, it recently suffered from the dreaded gearbox issues, now I've done a gearbox on my nieces polo, but that was because it was a newer car than this, and I just can't justify the time of effort to fix the mrs one as its only like a 1k car when fixed. Anyway here's more details about it.
CAR IS LOCATED NEAR DUNMOW ESSEX
Polo 1.4s 8v manual
2001 W reg
Silver
5 door
111,000
Elec mirrors
Elec sunroof
Manual windows
Tax march 2013
Mot August 2013
I will state now that she still drives but for how long I don't know, the gearbox makes a grinding noise when accelerating or lifting off, but is a lot noisier in 5th gear.
Before these issues she ran faultless and has good tyres, brakes and suspension. She also just had a brand new bumper spare yes and fitted due to a car bumping into the back of her (don't ask why they bothered fixing it) lol
To be honest I've no idea on its current value but I do know what some crappy scrapers have offered and it ranged from a joke £80 to £200 which I think is far to low.
So I'm happy for people's honest opinions and offers. I will get some pics up in a bit, and if anyone wants anything specific then let me know
Many thanks
Greg
