Best place to source a 1.4 MkVI polo?

Post by phiemale »

Hey guys, :)
I posted before about what mods to do to my car, and all the answers were brilliant, definitely gave me some food for thought...
next problem now,
Where can I actually GET a car from :P I've had a look on auto-trader but I was just wondering if you guys know anywhere better to get
it from?
I want a 1.4 preferably, as I will be doing a bit of motorway driving and would just like that extra power over the 1.2, annnddd I REALLLLY love the metallic blue but I guess I can not have a blue one...:P

my budget is around £2,500 for the car

Any help would be appreciated :)

Aye, autotrader and pistonheads are both pretty good. Local classifieds also sometimes turn up good deals.

Suppose you could try car auctions or places like eBay as well - I know of people who have gotten great deals off them but it seems to be a bit of a risk unless you know someone who's really good with the spanners. Always go and check a car out before you buy and be prepared to haggle/walk away if necessary, there's plenty of cars out there.

Hope this helps :D

Cool thanks guys :) This will be my first car so I am a bit new to this! I know I need to check mileage, MOT, tax, service history etc, but is there any questions you would ask when buying a car?

I found a few potential cars, I'm stuck between that place of not wanting to rush in to buying a car, and really really wanting to get driving! It's tough!
Auto trader seems to have a few, Piston heads had one or two that were snapped up in a day or too unfortunately :(

ahh well, I'll keep on hunting every day! It's just making me more passionate about the car lol!
