second that, but they're not that cheap for a halfway decent one.

I will soon be selling an 89 Polo saloon 1.3 with the following parts renewed as Candice was going to use it as her everday car (now all she can think about is nagging me about when the Mini will be ready whilst doing her best to avoid getting stuck in);

Front,

both shocks
both wheel bearings
both steering tie rod ends
both outer CV joints
front brake pads
front exhaust section
hard brake lines
battery

Rear;

both rear wheel bearings.


It may not be the most attractive car in the world (sort of a dull gold colour ... faded) but it's got a strong engine, cost nothing to insure and goes well enough for daily driving.

Going for £300 with 11 months or so MOT!!!

Decent Polos can be cheap but I think mine's a bargin for somebody!
