2005 Volkswagen Polo - should I fix or scrap?
I have a 2005 Volkswagen Polo 1.2 that has low compression on a cylinder, should I repair it? I have been quoted £500 and the car is worth £1500 in a working state and done about 100,000 miles.

Still worth fixing, unless someone will give you £1,000 for it as it is.
