Hi there,
Regretfully i'm having to put up my polo for sale I absolutely love the car but I just haven't got the time or space to maintain it properly and so id rather it went to someone who can look after it rather than rot away outside my flat.
I bought the car as my first car a few months ago and absolutely loved driving it! its a very different experience to a modern car, all of the controls have more feedback, and the car is great fun and capable of surprising speeds! I've done quite a few long trips in it, from Essex to the lake district and from Swindon to Sheffield a few times, and its always got me there and back again. The car is also surprisingly comfortable and capable at speed, I mean its nowhere near a modern car but it will quite happily sit on the motorway at 70mph all day long using very little fuel.
There have been some problems in the time ive had it, the water pump was squeaking very badly, and there was also a leak from the pump, so I replaced the cambelt, alternator belt and water pump about a month ago, the pump still squeaks at idle though so the belt tension may need to be adjusted. The engine needs some attention too, it doesn't idle well and there are a few grumbles as you would expect for a car of this age, the car still pulls and revs cleanly but it wants some love and attention to get it running sweetly.
The air filter, oil filter, radiator, part of the exhaust and the oil was changed just before I got it, I think the distributor cap was changed at the same time too. The car also comes with 5 spare tyres for the standard wheels and 4 larger modern steel wheels with 175/70 tyres on, I haven't tried them on the car but they look like they should fit.
The interior is in decent condition and is a nice place to be, it could do with a clean but the seats and interior are in very good condition given the age, there is a small tear in the drivers seat bolster and a small tear in one of the rear seats. It also comes with a JVC CD player.
I'm not sure on the mileage because I somehow managed to set the trip and I don't know how to reset it, however the car had done 27k miles when I bought it so now I believe its on about 30k.
The car comes with the original service schedule, a wodge of old paperwork and 2 sets of keys, as well as the spare wheels and tyres and has an MOT until the end of this month, I don't see why it wouldn't pass another one to be honest but I haven't got the time to organise it all. Viewing is welcome, though I am often away with work during the week, so weekends would be preferable.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have via a PM or on 07806646250 or at nfgould@Hotmail.com
