Hi guys,
My mate is selling a 1995 vw polo. It is a 1.4 litre that has done around 150k. While he has had it which is about 3years it has been fine. I went to have a look at it tonight there were a coupke of areas i wanted to ask about.
Just looking under the bonnet there are signs of oil cominf out through the join of what i think is the rocker cover. Is this very bad. It also uses a bit of water about a cup ever month or so. There is no mayo under the filler cap however.
When keeping it at mid rpm you can hear a bit of a cam noise. Doesnt seem too bad but i think it is there.
Externally the bottom of thw offside front arch is rusted but there is also a hole in the sill a bit smaller than a 5p. It seems solid though and not rusted through. The mot station did pick up on this bit they put it down as an advisory as it was not in a certain area.
Is there anything i should be majorly concerned about. He only wants 250 for it and i know its not perfect but i just want it to be a cheap run around. It does have mot until next april too.
Cheers
TOM
