I bought this earlier off a Dude on flea bay, It's local so I went & viewed it prior to bidding, I had the highest bid of 254 or summit but the reserve was 350. The Dude phoned me after the auction ended & said did I want it for 350, I told him after seeing it & it ending at 254'ish I'd pay 300 quid for it, He spoke to somebody in the background & then came back & said 320 quid, I told him No 300 quid was what I would pay as it needed a stereo, He said Ok so I pick it up at 10am in the morning which will give me time to sort my insurance out.
I've bought it to do my Daughter/grandson runs in & have a 2nd motor to my Landy. This frees me up to Proper go for it in the Landy as it won't be my one & only transport so it won't matter so much if I bend/break it & I can go more extreme with the mods as road use will be just local & minimal.

So.
It's a VW Polo CL Diesel in Red on a 97/P with around 90k up it. :cool: Yes it's been lowered & blacked out & alloy wheels etc but it's a Dub Polo 1.9 with a Gen 90k up it for 300 quids. :cool:
I'll sling some derv in it & it'll make the Perfect vehicle for cruising down my Daughters for Minimal cost. I'll do a Full MPG test & see what I get & post it.
Of course it wouldn't be a thread by me without pics would it so here you go.

Went & bought it at 10am as arranged, Started sweet & drives pretty damn good as well for a lowered old banger, Pulls Really well through the gears & feels quick & responsive (Derv Quick), I like it & the driving position & the way it drives. :cool:
Took it down to Jims for a quick Turd polish & here it is after 55 minutes of attention.

Cheeky Wet shots of course. ;)

You'll have this in your rear view buzzing away like a rabid wasp.

You ain't seen me, Right !!!

Going Low. :p

Passenger wing has seen some action.


I plan on treating the brown stuff & Blowing it over a "similar" colour just for protection & then munching some miles in it, The Perfect daughter/Grandson visiting motor I reckon & like I said I can Proper Death my Landy when I go off road now. :D
 
Cheers all.
She's Legal, Insured this morning for 250 quid & taxed for 6 months for 104 quid, :(
I needed a Stereo so I went to Halfrauds & purchased a Sony 4x45w unit for 79.99, There was cheaper but I have a JVC 4x40w matched to some 140w Kenwoods in my Landy but I wanted a tad more in the Motorway muncher. Ended up getting the Sony & some 220W door speakers that kick ****, Sounds are sorted. :cool:
Took her down my mates Tyre & Exhaust place earlier in the day to give her the once over, Jacked up the front & all was well except one of the rubber tops on the near side strutt, Nowt to worry about, Jacked up the back & Both rear wheels were about falling off. :p Both wheel bearings completely shot so my mates Dad got a pair sent over & they were fitted in less than an hour.
Drives sweet now & I know I can give it death without any wheels falling off. :p
I'm not used to the limited power band yet & keep hitting the limiter. :rolleyes:
When you get it right though it pulls well & is quite quick for a Derv up to 80mph.
S'pose All in she owes me 500 quid but has nigh on 6 months tax is Legal & ready for some miles.


Note.
I don't include the stereo & speakers in the price as they Stay with me.
 
It's not bad, the indicators look rubbish.
Though tbh, i hate anyone messing around with lights, especially on vws, maybe some us specs or something but smoking them has never appealed to me.

If you debadged the rear, maybe took off the rubstrips and changed the indicators it really wouldn't look bad at all if you ask me.
And the rear windows maybe...

Not bad for £300 though.
