StueyB 0 Posted July 10, 2012 Thanks Andi, advert posted below: ----------------------------------------- For Sale: 2003 VW Polo E 1.9 SDi [9N] Reflex Silver 108,000 approx (will increase as being used daily) MOT’d until Oct ’12 TAX’d until Sep ’12 FSH - folder full of paperwork 2 previous owners [close friend for majority] Cambelt & Tensioners done @ 95k by Saab Technician Just been serviced (Oil & Filter, Air Filter [K&N], Fuel Filter) New front brake pads 2k ago. Not a spot of rust and has excellent paintwork. Minor modifications include: 17’’ Lightweight OZ Alloys with 205/40/17 tyres [plenty of tread all round, home refurb'd in VHT Wrinkle Plus, aren't perfect but very hardwearing] FK Adjustable Coilover Suspension all round. Debadged all round [so no one knows it’s an SDi :)] Front and rear blackened VW badges. Car was bought roughly a year ago from a close friend to be used as my daily. I needed a reliable, economical car for making trips to and from work in Northampton [60 mile round trip]. Prior to my ownership my friend had owned the car for 4-5 years, buying it with a mere 25k on the clock. During this time, the car was meticulously maintained by my brother who is a Saab Trained Auto Technician. So when the car came up for sale it was a no-brainer. Folder full of receipts to back this up. In the time I’ve had the car it’s been absolutely faultless, never letting me down and requiring the minimal amount of maintenance, serviced as and when it required. I’d happily jump in this car tomorrow and drive it across Europe without even thinking about. Averaging between 50 & 60 mpg depending on driving conditions, a full tank [roughly £55] will get you between 400-450 miles. [470+ if you drive super eco]. Group 5 so insurance is very reasonable even if you have minimal no claims. I used 2 years no claims and insured if for a year for around £400 pa. Now the bad points which I must say are very few and far between so I’m having to be picky. Passenger wing and lower front bumper have scrape marks from prior owner’s argument with a wall. Few door dings down both sides, standard shopping car park stuff. Bonnet has started to pick up some stone chips along with lower front bumper, purely from motorway work. All could be rectified for not a lot of money to have a completely mint body and paint. Clutch is quite high but hasn’t worn further since I’ve had it in a year and 15k mileage, importantly it doesn’t slip at all. A recent diagnostic check showed no fault codes however. In summary this is a fantastic daily driver, super economical, comfy for long distance, cheap to insure, amazing reliable. I have a feeling that I’ll look back and regard this as one of the best car’s I ever owned despite it being something I didn’t see myself buying. Pics: Price: £2,400.00 with alloys & coilovers £2,100.00 with original steel wheels & suspension [will require deposit before I swap parts back as ideally I'd like to sell as is] Feel free to ask any questions below.
