I need some advise on buying a car. i went to my local dealers and sew this beautiful 2001 polo 1.4 for £3000 i want it but not sure if it is worth it its a se model with one owner and 80k on the clock the guys goes its got all the official VW service history its the mileage thats bothering is u peeps think its worth it.
We bought ours for £900, just for some reference.
But ours is maroon
Well mileage always matters when it comes to the value. You're already paying for the VW badge based on the fact that this car costs more than the equivalent Nissan or Mazda or Seat or whatever to start with. But yeah, if it's got a full VW service history, then I wouldn't worry too much about the mileage. Might be worth asking what it's been used for though, because 80k miles round town will wreck a car more than 80k motorway miles. I'd say it's a fair price rather than an amazing deal, but you might be able to haggle them down a bit. If you like it, and it's mechanically sound, then go for it.
Because a Pink splatted gypoed up Corsa is preferable!?
(its mine!!).

I bought it over 3 years ago, without having driven it and with 3 weeks MOT on it, and its been the absolute best car. 3 MOTs and all its needed is 1 bulb and an exhaust backbox.
Ive not been using it since it was MOT'ed in march coz ive got another car. But new car is getting on my nerves so i havent wanted to part with the much loved civic, but i cant keep it on the road here for much longer as its un-taxed, so a reluctant sale is required.
I want someone to look after it!!
Or ill keep it and you can have an Escort Convertable that keeps having fuel problems?!!!!
