MK2 Polo Saloon

Got myself a little run around. An Ebay special which I got for a nice price of £350. Tis about the right going rate for an alrite MK2 but this has a low milage (82k) and is generally very tidy! Plus its the rarer saloon version

Interior is mint. Very tidy indeed. Exterior is nice and shiny but as with an 18 year old car its got some dints and a few scabby bits here and there but is generally in very nice condition! No structural rust. Just cosmetic bits and bobs.

Mechanically is spot on. Cant fault it atall. Drives nice and smooth, the ride is perfect and its sooooo quiet. Can hardly hear the engine running, even under load its a 1043cc 8v engine. Not sure on the power output but its not terribly slow. Cruised all the way home at 80mph no problem

Its just a car to last with MOT and Tax until summer time when I will have an income again (starting my new job in a few weeks) and can get the car I really want to own. Otherwise its a good car! And a bargain too!

Re: MK2 Polo Saloon

but on an 18 year old car, averaging at around 4500 miles a year, its very low milage.

Plus, I wanted a reliable run around with tax and mot. Not a panda.

Re: MK2 Polo Saloon

Sorry but Polo saloon is about the ugliest thing ever.. Much prefered the hatchback with a dual light grille.


bit harsh - looks in good condition though. It been in cryo-storage or something?

Re: MK2 Polo Saloon

woah dont besorry. I know its an ugly car heh The coupe/hatch is a much nicer looking thing but I bought it because of the service history, length of tax and mot and the price. Not for looks. its souly a run around and thats it. All i plan to spend out on it is keeping it in the condition its in. Im not modding it
