Service history, Tax, Mot, Number of owners etc. Loads more to know if your getting a good deal or not.

Oh yeah and give us a pic of your misses and we'll tell you if she would look good in a Polo :thumb:

Oh and get the mechanic to give the car a once over too when he has finished elsewhere :D

A girl at work has one of those. Very rusty??? I have a 1996 Golf D which is a bit better somehow? Dub's of that era are robust though, so as long as there is signs of maintainence and essentially a cambelt change there should be no problem.

the central locking is probably a little plastic bar that is prone to snapping in the mechanism. it costs pence and takes minutes to fix if this is the case.
