is it me or does that seem a little pricey for 6 years old and 100k+ ?
I think you'd prefer the 1.9TDI for that money.

ive had the ones you guys are on about,want the facelift model now.......personally i think 4250 for a 55 plate is ok.

Polo 2004 (54-plate) 1.4tdi
53,000 miles
5-door hatchback
Sport model with foggies, 16" barcelona alloys, the LCD climate control and cruise control
Picked it up for £4700...

well you can't go wrong with a diesel even with the high mileage, but i'd still try to look for something with low mileage, just for peace of mind...don't rush into it, you'll prob find something similar with lower mileage with similar price tag and you'll be glad you waited
