Title: Buying Advise
Post by: sclark2604 on September 29, 2011, 12:14:00 PM
Hi all,

I Have just joined this forum and am looking at buying my 1st Polo G40 (hopefully this weekend).

Was just looking for a bit of advise on what to look for or if there is any common problems to keep an eye out for.

All advise welcome.

Many Thanks

Simon.

Hi and welcome, first place to start would be the thread below. Lots of good info in there. Have a look around the forum as lots of topics will probably have come up before.

Thanks for the link.

Having a look at a J reg on the weekend, its had a lot of engine work done (more mantained than mod) just the body lets it down, but thats the fun of doing these cars up.

Thanks Again

Simon
