I'm looking for a second-hand car. I came across a good looking Polo 2000, gasoline (installed gas system in 2014 when imported into Bulgaria). According to the owner, the gearbox has been changed, everything is paid for and is currently being driven. It is about 300,000 km away. Would you give me an opinion from experience (or not) whether the car is worth it I know he's lucky with second-hand cars, but still, if you know where his weaknesses are, any advice is helpful. I plan to use it, both urban and extra-urban. As a matter of fact, I'm looking for a car mainly for long distance. I'm not pretentious, I'm rather looking for something small, unpretentious and relatively economical. I didn't want gas, but this one looks maintained, and I can only drive it on gasoline. Is it easy to break? Is it difficult to maintain? What can I expect from the stroller if I take it? Ideas?

I'm not the biggest car specialist, but 75 horses can be annoying off-road, especially uphill. Not that it doesn't happen, such cars are driven en masse, but for example a friend's Kiata falls to 55-60 km / h on some hills of Hemus as we are 4 people with luggage, ie on the edge of the legal minimum speed, his is 68 horses (supposedly). So, if you plan to transport more people out of town often, something over 85-90 horses is better in my opinion. Up to 101 horses is your small tax. Otherwise, the Polo is designed as a city car - it is small, short and easy to park.
