the time has come for me to sell the MK4 :sad:
I need the cash to save up for a T4 van to go travelling in, due to this AWESOME weather we are having, this however leaves me with a predicament . . .
I will need a cheap runaround until september time for work etc. I was thinking possibly a MK1 1litre or 1.3 as it boasts nice cheap insurance and running costs or possibly a Polo 6n as they are dirt cheap and also cheap to run
Anybody got anymore VW cheap runabouts for me to consider? (MK2?) Open to all(No MK3's) suggestions, :smiley:
-
Can't believe you want a cheap round around and won't consider a mk3 :huh:
I've seen plenty of nice clean examples go for less than £500.
I would have a polo 6n after a mk3
Cheap tax, insurance and cheap to run
-
:grin: it's because I really, really hate the look of them. Think a polo is a very big possibility at the minute
-
Mk1 is certainly not a cheap run around given age alone.
Polos are ok but do have their fair share of issues, does it have to be vw? If only for a few months I would broaden the search to other manufacturers
-
ideally I want it to stay VAG, why is it not a cheap run around? I know mpg will be bad because its old etc.
-
:grin: it's because I really, really hate the look of them. Think a polo is a very big possibility at the minute
And the mk4's a real looker after all.

Because a mk1 is a 20+ year old car and will always need parts and have issues if you are buying it cheaply. Not a practical idea for a run around.

Lupo possibly? Seat Ibiza? Skoda fabia?
Surely if a cheap mk3 came up u would be silly to turn it down? Doesn't really matter what it looks like aslong as it saves u money and after all it's vag :D
I'm driving a mk3 and same as u don't really like them, but it was free and I've saved a lot of money since selling the mk4........but it does have a vr6 engine init :grin: which is a big positive :cool:
There are some bargains out there mate, just make sure it runs well and is rust free and u should be on to a winner just ignore the looks :wink:

Get an old EJ9 Civic 1.4
Indestructible :smiley:

There are a few nice looking ones in that thread, they can look alright but I just prefer the look of mk1, mk2 etc.
Just going to keep my eye for any low mileage cheap vag's for the time being :cool:

girls car!! :grin:

£1000 could get you a lot of mk3 :wink:
-
How much u hoping to get for mk4 out of interest. Depends on what u can afford then. As if your trying to save money should only use the budget from the golf sale to buy another golf :grin: then savings/ monthly income to insure/ tax her.
Just my opinion. A much as I hate to say it, getting rid of my mk4 was the best thing I could have done. Getting £2300 with all mods was a decent price and having a spare mk3 lying around didn't have to use a penny to buy another car :wink:
-
£1000 could get you a lots of mk3 :wink:

You'd be suprised now bud for a 16v

Well well well. I have a MK3 (8v) and it is cheap reliable and decent. As a runaround it is great. For the money you can pick them up for it is a good punt.

Went for a drive in my MK4 just now though and really don't know if I can say goodbye :undecided:

Your lucky I don't report you to a mod for that kind of comment :grin: I love my car so much and wanted to sell it as a quick way to pay back money that I've borrowed. Would rather be in debt up to my ears than see it go
