Mechanic mate of mine has a cosmetically scruffy but mechanically perfect, FSH, 60k mile 16v Polo on a 'P' plate which he's offered to me for plenty cheapness. He bought it for his girlfriend and spent plenty of time making sure it's spot on other than needing a few scuffs and scrapes on the body sorting out. 4 new good tyres on it, new brake pads, all the irritating little bits sorted like central locking on the fuel flap etc. Drives better than the one I had as a demo when I worked for VW, properly nice and precise with no slop / rattles / issues. Original VW radio cassette etc and previously owned by a middle aged housewife with plenty of cash but no parking ability..
Needs a gouge taking out of one rear 1/4 and the bumpers painting, and will need an exhaust back box pretty soon but it's a properly amusing little thing. In that rather nice bright metallic blue they did 'em in, tilt/slide roof, elecky windows, PAS, rear headrests and all the little bits that make a small car feel less poverty spec.
Talk me out of it. I don't really need it, but I remember the demo one I had being a laugh to own and I've not had a screamy little buzz bomb for a while.
