Prawny Baby Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 if you want to be technical guys, tom drives a polo 6n, and the later one is the 6n2. Otherwise known as the mk4 and mk5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I was wondering about the whole 6n 6n2 thing for a while (im too retarded to work it out...) Anyway, yea if you can find a dece. mk.4 polo 1.4 pref CL then not only are they cheap too insure but providing it is a solid example then it will be a good car, german n all that. All the same you got to remember its going to be like a 8-10+ year old car at that price no matter what you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Jones Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) I gots a Corsa and it'z fukin bangin. Same. Mines an S reg 1.0 and its actually quite rapid (ive surprised a few people who have been passengers) and economical. Ive had mine 6 years and its never let me down (touch wood)... apart from a dead battery one morning - not the car's fault! Best of luck mate Just thought Id add something about insurance. When I first started to drive I was paying about £1800 I think - for my 1.0! It went down a little after doing pass plus. Five years later and 5 years n.c.b im paying £215 fully comp. Luckily ive not had to change my car otherwise I think the whole driving game would have been more expensive. And also, don't go to a main dealer for servicing. Try and find or ask for recommendations for small garages. Drive Vauxhall (local Vaux dealer) charges something like £70 an hour for labour. Previous years have cost about £600+/- for an MOT and service. This years was a nice and modest £262 thanks to a great little garage about 15mins drive from my house.

TheCircus Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Neil do you ever really contribute to the forum properly haha When you out next?? Coming to London? I don't now who Neil is, or who you are. Furthermore, meeting with you in real-life sounds like a recipe for fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naa everybody is much nicer in real life, when they're not typing behind a computer screen as virtual defence... if that works?! But yes, YES, bring on the 1.0 club!

Greetings Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Small 1.6? It's a 1.6VTEC in a 2 seater that weighs nothing They are seriously fast for what they are! That's if you get a VTEC I have a normal 130bhp 1.6, it's still stupidly quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I was wondering about the whole 6n 6n2 thing for a while (im too retarded to work it out...) Yeah, different people call the polo Mk3/Mk4 different things. Clubpolo disagrees with Wikipedia on what the different mks are, so it's safer just to use 6n. My Polo is ace. Worth way less than a grand too now. It's R-reg, and a bit rusty, although it still runs fine. It's got 130k on it, and although it seems fine to me, it must be nearing its last journey. Dunno. But yeah, you should be able to get one for sub £1000 with less than 100000 on the clock I reckon. There's really no point going for the CL over the L or anything like that, it basically makes no difference. Get the 1.4 16v if you can find one.

Dan Campbell Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 That's if you get a VTEC I have a normal 130bhp 1.6, it's still stupidly quick. A new driver in the uk with 130bhp would get bent over by the insurance company and violated. And there'd be no lube. I say look in the local free ads and buy the cheapest thing you can find, check the basics and try to run it for a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_ Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Get the 1.4 16v if you can find one. Fair enough, depends on your age on the valver though, I got a quote as a 17 year old and got well and truley arse raped for it, about 2000 i think. They seem pretty common though and no more expensive really. Pretty nippy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Just look round you will find a decent car for cheap . I bought a Polo Coupe S 1.3 Mk2 for 250 as my first car. Spent about 300 to sort it out for M.O.T at Christmas. But now i've sold it after a year for 200. Way i look at it i've spent 350 for the car. Got my year no claims so i can insure on a better car. which i've bought my self a mk4 golf gt tdi 110 bhp for 3000 with F.S.H and piles of receipts so it's been looked after, even though its done 126k yet it still pulls. Raced a apparently 1.6 tuned focus to 120 bhp ha other day, but i think the torque took me a head . It depends what you want the car for, keeping it for a few years? as my main aim was to keep me going for a year and to build up a years no claim so i can insure/cheaper on a bigger engined car.

Will Arnold Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 peugeot 205, 86k miles, 1.4 petrol with 75bhp, white, 205 gti alloys, yours for 300 quid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hI-OOPS-CAPS Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 when i buy a car, i think of the money spent on it as written off. and the car will be used till its too expensive to repair. thats why i probably wouldnt steer away from german, or even moreso japanese cars. i havent read many posts but i see alot of numbers like 120hp and 16v im probably guessing. if you go up from the bog standard 1L or 1.2, youve got abit more to pay. tax, petrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
