Value of 2005 Polo 1.6 Comfortline?

[chickenbeef]

Is there anyone here that could help me with the trade and retail value of a 2005 Polo 1.6 Comfortline. It has 130 000KM with FSH at VW?

Also, are there any common issues to look out for on this model? Cambelt or chain driven?

Thanks.


PPS. Asking on behalf of someone I know.

Seems like a good price to me, I frequently see Polo's going for R65k+

Thanks, so R50k is not a bad price at all.

If im not mistaken, the polo had a face lift that year... Which one are you referring to?

The cambelt should have been changed at 120000km. If not, the engine is on borrowed time.

Pre facelift. Round lights.

Thanks.

It's a free running motor. Belt snap should not be a problem. New belt and timing = win.

The pre face lift is spot on @R50k...

Nope, you're wrong. The 1.6 8V petrol motor fitted to the 9N Polo is an interference motor.

How about the 1.4l?

Belts don't snap if changed when they should. Timing chains do snap contrary to popular believe.
