A friend of mine is selling her VW Polo 1.4 estate,and has asked me if I would be interested in buying it as a economical winter runabout.

The car is year 2000 on a "W" plate and has done 63000 miles. It is white (not a police car I hope ) has 6 months tax ,and an MOT till the end of February.

It has VW service history up until a couple of years ago,with local garage sevice after that. It is in good ,but not unmarked condition and runs perfectly apart from a heavy cable clutch.

I can clean my miggy up over the winter,and therefore have her nice and ready for next summer.

Not sure which road tax band a 1.4 Polo would be in ,but I would expect it to cost less than the miggy.

My friend wants £1000 o.n.o. for her Polo .

Can forum members tell me if they think this price is about right.  

Thanks Dusty.

It'll be in the discounted "old style" tax bracket... Can't remember off te top of my head how much that is but IRO £70 for 6 months IIRCC :-/ :-/

As for the price... doesn't sound horrendous and TBH you'd probably get back the same in 6 months

And by 2000....Polos had servo brakes....although not a lot else.

It wont blow you away on the comfort, handling, features or anything else front....but it should be fairly economical

COuld buy a nice Omega for that - and they have electrically heated seats

£1000 seems a tad high to me, the key thing in her asking price is the ..."or nearest offer"
