purplebargeken Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Not mine but is being sold by a serial Mk3 Golf licker who has helped me out hugely with bits for my Golf. He is a good bloke and really knows his VW's. The PooLoo (sorry SF) is a Mk3, metallic blue (dark'ish) 5 door. It has a genuwine 73,000 miles on the clock. 2 owner car. Has 2 new tyres, the other two are excellent. The interior is nice, has a CD player, PAS, electric windows. It will have a full service, cambelt and 12 months MOT. No rust but does have a scuff on the front bumper corner and some dings on the passenger door bottoms. Location: Staines. Price £395 ono.

reb Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Can't speak for the engine, but my Polo of similar vintage and identical trim was an excellent car. Felt pretty bombproof and handled the daily abuse thrown at it well.Didn't like the seats though, always felt a bit hard and the folding mechanism in the drivers seat was wearing incredibly quickly. Runner mechanism is also a bit poor. Great car though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Lacquer Peel and purplebargeken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigmund Fraud Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 The million dollar question is : how are the arches/sills/floors ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantingYoof Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 'No rust' may refer to what's visible, but I'd say a rot-free Polo with a bullet-proof engine, safe cambelt and full ticket for £395 should otherwise be described as criminally good value. purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't think they're made of metal, I think they just glue some rust together in the factory. There's a few locally I was keeping an eye on in case I decided to follow through with my silly idea of reshelling it instead of replacing it, they're all just as bad.

Lacquer Peel Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I'm not complaining at that price! I just meant the galloping rust. It'd be good if the sound mechanicals lived on but who wants a non turbo diesel these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 According to Joe the owner, it is a solid thingy all round. Sigmund Fraud and Lacquer Peel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigmund Fraud Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 According to Joe the owner, it is a solid thingy all round. In that case, it's well worth the asking price ! purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 The asking price is a bit negotiable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
