Finger in the air price says that’s about right money wise (all being well with the car), and considering how mentally priced similar cars are at the moment. I take it that it is ULEZ (2005 for petrol is within the cutoff I think, but deffo checking to be sure). I’d want to test drive it if it’s just been sat for 2 years though. Does “basically just been sat” mean literally not been moved at all, or driven once a month or so. I’d potentially be concerned if it hadn’t moved at all.
Can’t help on the mechanic front unfortunately !

Thanks for the reply mate, appreciate it.
Yup, ULEZ compliant, wouldn't be considering it without. I don't know specifics of recent use but certainly doesn't sound like used much/at all in past 6 months, and relatively little for the 18 preceding that.
Reassuring to hear that the price doesn't sound way off.
If anyone does have any mechanic recommendations much appreciated!

Hello car thread. I am not really very/at all car savvy, so I hope you'll tolerate my noob questions here. I am thinking about buying a car - it was actually offered up via a mate of a forumer in the 'how to buy a car' thread. £1.5k for a 1.4 VW polo auto, 4dr, 2005, 80k miles. His wife has owned for the last 10 years, apparently doesn't have the full service history, but has been basically off the road in an underground car-park for last 2+ years and hardly driven at all. Ideally, I want to buy a small auto for my gf to learn on with the hope of selling it on in 12-18 months for not too much less than we paid and upgrading to something with more space for eventual dog/baby etc. I think I have two questions (and understanding that buying old cars is a lottery etc, might get lucky, might get a dog)
Thank you.
