Getting a car

Hey,
Im thinking of purchasing a Volkswagen Polo from a friend of my dads,
1ltr,1994 and only 40k on the clock plus its in mint condition all for only 900 bucks. Is there any design faults I should know about older model polos before i rush ahead and take this bargain?

Probably the only design flaw is that this model dates back to the early 1980's so in terms of safety, it's way behind. It's got a galvanised body shell so rust won't be a problem, or if it is, it's definitely been crashed. You should probably get the timing belt and water pump done if you're not sure that they've been done recently.

You can't go wrong. With 40k on the clock, make sure it is regularly serviced and it will last another twenty years. As Alias says, these are an old, facelifted design but no worse than most. The shell is very strong but your car won't have ABS, airbags, side impact protection or any street cred... But it is the cheapest motoring you will get and you can learn everything by fixing it yourself armed with a Haynes manual and a vise-grip.
