Bloody hell, a 51 car wouldn't even sell for 10 grand in Euros over here in Ireland.

The seller also has some Cliff Richard tickets for sale so you know they're not the full shilling

It might just be me, but i don't think its even got leather.

Some fool will end up paying around that much for it.

I got my 5dr from a VW Dealer 1 owner all full VW service all re-calls plus alloys re-conditioned 32,000 for Â£6,500 that was 6months ago. And the car is mint looks like it rolled just out of the factory.

This guy is having a laugth.............

Too right ........... he's highly optomistic.

Got my 5dr 51 plate in sliver with 14k on it 18 months ago for Â£6750. And it's still done less miles.

I anyone wants to offer Â£10k plus for mine, I'm listerning

lol, thats way over book price for it, someone is dreaming

"Volkswagen Polo Hatchback
1.6 GTi 5d 2001/51
Insurance Group 12 (get a quote)
Average mileage: 40,000 miles
Cost New ('01) Â£ 13745
Franchised Dealer Â£ 6065
Independent Dealer Â£ 5635
Private Good Â£ 5250
Private Poor Â£ 4060
Part Exchange Â£ 4870"

car looks in good condition externally I guess, which is a good thing

"The car has been driven to work and back each day by my wife"

then why has it a short aerial and this new sticking out stainless steel exhaust? seems like it could have been raced about too maybe

no leather either, still - comes with mudflaps

this one is far better value, 17k miles: http://www.parkers.co.uk/carsforsale/de ... supplier=6

I saw that yesterday whilst looking.

The exhaust looks absolutely terrible, if you look closely it has one of those 'boy race' metal pieces somehow attached to the bumper, to protect it from the heat I assume, or as it is badly fitted?

Obviosuly I am aware it is not worth anywhere near Â£10k, but that alone would put me right off it.

i like the way he put

'we bought the car at 8am on a saturday morning, a chilly day it was. Deidre, we really must see more of each other....hows roger's prep school by the way?' ok i made the last bit up

o and its way over-priced!

not even got leather, or any other desirable options...

I'd at least expect a minter to have GTI badges on it.

mysteryboy · Post by **mysteryboy** » Tue May 16, 2006 7:25 pm

thats what ebays all about... you gotta try your luck... if it sells he's laughing!! If it doesnt Oh well he loses Â£2 and from the offers he's received he knows roughly the average price people are prepared to pay for it...
