Up for sale is my little 1.3 SPI genesis mk3 polo. Would take swaps/PX with a diesel car of some description for my dad, saloons/mid/big sized cars preferred such as sierra, granada, escort, mondeo that sort of size, either of those cars would be perfect but of course other cars are considered as long as they are derv and at least have some MOT, tax not essential but again preferred.
MOT : October 2010
Tax : August 2010(only £120 for a full year)
Mileage : 101,000
Year : 1993
History : Lots of old receipts, service history, MOTs etc with the car
Service : Recently serviced, oil, filters, thermostat, dizzy cap & rotor arm, it runs great, such a healthy engine surprisingly returns 50mpg as I'm using it to go backwards and forwards to Cambridge every day so far.
Mechanical:
Its a 1.3 single point injection with a 5 speed! box which is great for cruising as a lot of these polos only come with 4 speeders, drives great backwards and forwards to Cambridge every day sits comfortably on the m11 and a14 at 70 when traffic allows
A week only costs me about £40 and I'm doing near on 80 miles a day. It could do with a wheel bearing on the passenger side front I believe it is as its got a bit of a hum to it. Easy cheap job to do and all the front suspension has been off recently when i fitted the lowering springs so you wont have any problems with seized bolts etc as i copper slipped everything that went back on. Engine doesnt use any oil or water. Rear section of exhaust was replaced when i bought the car early this year. Also has had a BRAND NEW battery fitted so that will be fine for years.
Running gear:
All seems in good condition to me no obvious problems drives fine, as mentioned before could do with a wheel bearing and maybe the tracking if it bothers you as it pulls a tad to the left since lowering which is normal doesn't scrub tyres out or anything. Its on little 13x5.5 steels with satin black hub caps, tyres are all in good condition plenty of life left in them. Brakes are great they surprised me really they can really pull you up when you need them to. Handbrake is good 3 clicks and its on solid holds me up in those painful slip road ques every morning![]()
Bodywork:
Well as you can see from the pictures it is in fantastic condition and i think most people would agree with that there is no rot on the car at all, the sills are all great and straight no rust there. There are only a few minor problems with the bodywork and that is on the bootlid midway of it just below the screen on the left hand side corner there is a small dent and under the rear light driver side there is a dent but it is between 2 lines so could very very easily be pulled out and painted with cans and you would never even know its there i was waiting for nice summer weather to do it but its not quite here yet is it? haha All the glass is original and etched with the reg, no chips or cracks in the windscreen
Ugly rubstrips removed it looks so much better without them, mk2 golf chrome door handle inserts, recent new numberplates. Currently dewipered on the rear but i still have all the workings of that which will go with the car if you wish to refit in the future.
Electrics:
They all work and are in great condition had no problems with these at all. Will come with the original removable cassette/radio(has normal ISO leads so can easily add a CD player etc if that's your thing, speakers are pretty good for what they are.
Interior
This is absolutely mint, no problems here at all, seats are mint, as are the door cards etc no wear or rips on the seats at all they look almost new and with a quick steam clean they probably would look new
Thats pretty much all ive got to say about it its just an honest little car which would make a fantastic base for a project, good first car(cheap insurance and tax) or just a cheap little run around.
Car located in march cambridgeshire PE15 postcode.
