"We loved it so much."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The shock absorber, it should be replaced with new ones as per mechanics of Miller General Merchandise Car Care Center.
General comments?
We bought this 1997 Polo Classics car last year from my boss, the km. reading is only 71k miles for 10 years in possession. The body was great and the performance was still amazing, and your totally safe when you're driving. We really loved this car because it was our dream to own a volkswagen. But because we want to be practical, I'm offering it today at 160k or if there's somebody out there who wants to own a polo and willing to swap it with an FX or any SUV, we are willing to take chances. Actually, we want to sell it at 180k, but since there will be some repairs to be made, we're selling it at a more cheaper price. If you're interested, you can email me, Michelle Balisi at mbbalisi@shakeyspizza.ph or give me a call at 8390011 loc. 137 and my mobile no. is 09108949964.
For those who owns the same car and want some repairs, why not try Miller at P. Tuazon in Cubao, it's a little cheaper than Carabelle. Just play smart and you will not get played by those mechanics and it'll be much better if you first canvass for parts. Don't be scared, the prices of polo parts are not that much compared to Toyota and other brands.
