time to say goodbye to the MK4? Help me pick my new ride

[ALBEEEEY]

the time has come for me to sell the MK4 
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,

Can't believe you want a cheap round around and won't consider a mk3 

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

  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

[ALBEEEEY]

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.

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.

Not looking to start an argument mate. Simple word called opinion, each to their own

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

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  which is a big positive 

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
