Went car shopping yesterday....

Not for me but for Mrs 85genius, she was getting sick of her old 206 that she has owned for the last 4 years so we have been looking around for a new car for her...

Saw a really nice 59 plate polo online so drove over to have a look at it over the weekend

when we got to the garage she really liked the Polo but I spotted something else that I thought she should take a look at....

The polo was registered early 2010 and didn't have remote locking or air con and had nearly 60k on the clock

This 2.5 years younger and does have remote locking and air con and was advertised at around £450 more than the polo so seemed to me like a no brainer considering its basically the same car underneath, managed to knock £200 off the asking price and think I could have got it a bit cheaper if I didn't have an enthusiastic Mrs jumping in and telling the bloke "I'll take it" mid negotiation

She isn't bothered about the steelies as she had em on the pug but think i'm going to look out for a decent set of seat/VW alloys for her once shes got used to the car and its dimensions so I know she isnt going to kerb them straight away

Years ago I went car shopping with my then girl friend (now wife) and went to have a look at a MK1 Fiesta, while I was finding loads of rust and filler, she was in love with the interior and would have bought it on the spot :roll: We left with out it.

Good hunting, but the negotiation flop is easy done. I 'sold' my mini convertible to a woman on the phone. She turned up having driven 120 miles with her husband, he did some tire kicking and tried to negotiate, at which they erupted in to a row! It turned out she hadn't told him she had agreed to pay the asking price and basically wasn't going home without it! He grudgingly stumped up presumably in the interest of his marriage

Perfect little run about. My mother bought a new Polo a few years back and is always moaning about the lack of this and that. Sea'ts a far more sensible buy IMHO.
