1985 Polo 1.0

[vicsmith]

This any good to anyone? If not its going on fleabay.
VW Polo 1.0, Dark Blue, showing 33k, body quite tidy, few scabs and dings here and there, test runs out 25th september, no tax, drives well once its warmed up, until that point you sometimes have to mess about with the choke a bit, sometimes not. Overall I would say the car is worth testing up at least, if not minting up or modifying, I just havent got the time etc. so if anyone wants it its £75 to anyone on here, its up at £125 at work so thats a huge £50 discount to members/lurkers of this forum! Wow! What a fantastic offer! Hurry! I might just go crazy and buy it myself!

[vicsmith]

Yeah I`ll take some pics tomorrow, its a bit dark now. If you have a look about lunchtime they`ll be on here.

[vicsmith]

Got some pics sorted.



Anyone want it just let me know....

[Lankytim]

That doesnt look too bad!

[tigran]

Where is it based? I'll have some of that action even if only to up my NCB on the cheeeeeep.

£700 a year. Depressing but comparatively cheap.

[vicsmith]

Its in the Sunshine State of Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. Worth coming just for the culture(!)

[tigran]

Let me see when I can come and nab it - I deffo want the car, do you have some details for the place selling it? Or can I use you as a contact?

It might not be till the weekend - it's a fair old trek.

[vicsmith]

You can use me as the contact, I`ll see it doesnt go anywhere till you`ve had a chance to get up here. You can phone me on 07841 990352 9am-6pm anytime except Friday, I`ll be out of contact for that day.

I call 2nd dibs!

[vicsmith]

Thats fine we`ll see what happens over the weekend.

[tigran]

Hey mate sorry but I don't think I can go ahead, as I have off road parking at uni now. Sorry to mess you about - hope qwerty can grab it.

[qwerty]

Its for the little bro will find out how much he gets paid and get in contact with you.

Any suspected probs for the mot?

[vicsmith]

No worries fella thanks for letting me know. Qwerty, theres nothing that strikes me as an MOT fail on the car, but you can never really tell, only an MOT tester really knows, I`ve had mechanics go over things with a fine toothcomb in the past and they`ve still failed so I long ago stopped using the phrase "that should curse word its test". I`ve also had the most flaky, scruffy, mileagy old rubbing rags fly through. My best advice I can give to anyone is only buy a car with no test if you are prepared to strip it for bits and weigh in the shell if it fails disastrously. Having said that I`ve found nothing nasty on this particular car but I havent had a look underneath. It does feel pretty good on the road as well. If you want it try and let me know by Wednesday, as thats when I`ll be putting on a 7 day listing on Fleabay if no-one on here wants it.
Cheers
