I don't believe there is enough equity in the car to warrant buying it, with a view to then attempting to sell it on for a profit (and realise £600).Any profit could quickly be swallowed up in advertising costs and extensions to insurance policies etc.
The 3 cylinder 1.2 is probably the least desirable engine in the range, which would make the job of shifting the car that much harder.
In terms of the cars actual market value you could try entering the details into one of the online car buyers websites and seeing what they offer. Adding around £1K should give you an idea of a realistic private sale price.
If you are considering a VW UP! I would also have a look at the Skoda Citigo. Very similar car and slightly cheaper. Skoda dealers would I'm sure be happy to make a reasonable bid on your Polo. I've noticed one or two of them seem to retail non "Skoda's" on their used car forecourts.
