    Ahh.. so I take it it's been sat? So no MOT? In which case that sounds pretty steep. For £5-600 I'd be wanting a Polo to be usable and on the road really, in reasonable condition but no show winner and needing one of two things sorting. I'd basically look at it that you can buy a mint one for ~£800, if this ones going to cost more than £3-400 to make mint, then it's not a great deal. See how much it would cost to get to a decent standard, knock that off what it'd be worth when at that standard and make the owner an offer, because that's all it's worth.

    My first car was a Coupe S which I paid £250 for, it had some rust that would have been easily repairable for someone who could weld but worked just fine mechanically and looked in reasonable shape besides a few bubbles around the bonnet. (I couldn't weld at the time so scrapped it come MOT time). It was a great fun little car, wish I'd sorted it now but ah well, I'm happy to have tried a few other options rather than just stuck with the Polo like I probably would have.

    i will still have to get the guys number then once ive had a look over with one of bodywork mates i will give him an offer of 250-400 max

    It's value will depend a lot on the interpretation of this. 'Needs some bodywork' is hugely dependent on who's deciding if it needs it or not, and a lot of 16 year olds will have hugely high expectations. A mk2 polo is at least 22 years old now, a little wear and damage is expected, whether or not it needs bodywork as in the eye of the beholder. The same goes for the engine needing a strip down to 'see if any parts need changing' is there actually anything wrong with the engine or is this just wanting to get your hands dirty? Same deal with the brakes, any issues or is it just precaution.

    If it's MOT'd and the bodywork's just what you'd expect to be inevitable on a 20+ year old car, and the engine and brakes are purely a precaution then that sounds like a decent price for a saloon. At the other end of the spectrum, if needing bodywork means the sills are rotten and there's a dirty great dent in the rear quarter panel, the engine needs stripping down because it's seized and the brakes have got rotten solid lines, cracked discs and seized calipers then it's worth scrap money at best.

    as far as i know its just few brake parts are needed and a tank but this was a few years back so more may have happened i still haven't been in contact with the owner to get the go ahead to give it a good look over

    Hi has anyone used or know anyone that has used trials cabana to order parts/bikes? I am thinking of ordering a new bike from there so if anyone knows if its a trusted site/shop is very helpful.

    Thanks Dan
