Trust me it wouldn't go for that cheap!
If it did you don't have to get rid of it for that!

You can put a reserve so that the car cannot sell for less then you want it to. Im more then happy to give you a hand listing it, or tom is quite good at it too. I managed to sell my old 1.4 2000 polo for £5,000. I only payed £4,000 for it a year before muhahahaa!

That cool thanks
Not really sure what it would sell for yet just trying to work it out at the mo.
What u think roughly?
I bought it with metallic paint + painted bumpers etc, fog lights and seat height adjustment.
Its now been lowered had the front votex bumper put on.
Leather Seats, door Cards and parcel Shelf.
Alcantara Roof + Pillars and Centre Console
Full Boot Install
DVD Player In dash Screen
Centrelised polo on the back
Its also Stone chip free lol got that done the other day.
I'll be keeping my alloys and putting old ones back on though.
I think thats all!!!
Oh actually my lights but I do have old ones in garage.

Volkswagen Polo (02-) Hatchback 1.2 (64bhp) E 3dr
Hatchback 3dr
2004-04
Mileage 20,000
Dealer: £6,550
Private: £5,885
Part Ex: £5,526
Trade: £5,324
Cost New: £8,590
So id say £5,900 would be a good price for it. Remember you wont get extra money for modifactions, stuff like leather seats, DVD player, ICE all just make it easier to sell. The chances are you will only get a few hundred quid extra for the lot.
Maybe £6,200 with all the ICE, leather and stuff.
This is just my opinion though!

I hadnt really. How much is it that.
I'm not that into modding (basically I know diddly squat

)
If I did I think I'd wait for warrenty to run out first anyway.

Erm, i think its £399. I didnt realise the gains where so big on the GT. Ive just decided im getting one next! 175bhp is f*****g insaine for a car the size of a polo. Especially with only chipping it!!

Tell me about it, 130bhp is quick enough.
I've been driving around a brand new 1.2 courtesy car today with 100 miles on clock while mine was in for some warrenty work. Did about 60miles in it while driving around looking for somewhere that had a PSP. Got in it and it seemed REALLY slow after driving mine. Finally got used to it and when I jumped back in mine.........OH BOY could I tell the difference. I shot off the forecourt
