Right then people. Im going to look at a car tomorrow. Its a 97 1.0 Polo Open Air model so its got a full length panaramic sun roof with 60000 miles on the clock. Now im new to all this so what things should i look out for? Ill have my dad with me of course so he can do all the haggling Any help? Cheers Mat
One with a proper roof? I'm off to buy one tomorrow funnily enough. 1.4 CL until I can afford a TDI Bora. From the one i had that my dad now has - have a feel around the back of the rear arches as it looks like they trap crap behind the lip and it gets under the paint and works it's way to the front side of the arch. Just the usual stuff - go onto the Autotrader site and print off the buying checks and take them with you and a pen then you've something to distract you from the shiny car you want to buy. It's basic stuff but a handy reminder.
rust rust rust...rear arches in particular, but also sometimes around the sunroofs go (may well be same around open air roof) apart from that check servicing...cambelts best every 40k, but is officially 60k. thats about it really on mk4 polo's, good cars.
my misses has a open air , only thing that has gone wrong is the head gasket . does it have power steering ? if not then they are a pig
