£20 of fuel and a mini valet, and you still massively overspent 😂😂😂
I can never understand why the mini-valet is done first before finding out what condition the car is in .
Also get a cheap fuel can full of cheap supermarket fuel
Me the same re mini valet . Seems to be a “ Matt thing” .
@@keithharrison3678you don't want to be spending any time in a car as filthy as that and neither does your trusty mechanic. Well worth spending a few quid cleaning the car up to keep things sweet. If your mechanic has to work around the mess or clean some himself I'm sure it'll be more than £20 in labour charge.
😂😂😂
Who's a " lucky boy " , then ..
Say no more ....
That grin upon finding out it was going back hahahaha. I burst out laughing. You make great videos Matt.
😬
Very funny video Matt you’re the ‘Good Samaritan’ of the car industry. When you turned the engine off at the Traffic Lights I said ‘No………’ I always thought the Polo’s were ok your comments have told me otherwise..
You deserved your luck on this one….
Matt pulling that piece of trim off causing all the dirt to fly everywhere was comedy gold. 🤣
HE DID IT, he finally did some *I've massively overspent* merch🥳
Brilliant!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I'm going to have to buy a hoodie and maybe a car air freshener.
Sumitomo is a really big Japanese brand, they own Dunlop and are very respected in the tyre game especially HGV market and tough terrains in Africa and Asia you'll often find them.
They are also well known for rubber products like belts and conveyors.
They bought the global branding rights and sportswear rights from Sports Direct in the UK but they only "half" own Dunlop tyres, when Sumitomo & Goodyear split up they each took the rights to make Dunlop branded tyres in their own patches. Goodyear got America & Europe, Sumitomo got all of Asia. In the UK, Sumitomo's main brand is Falken and the Dunlops are made by Goodyear.
@@tomball84 interesting as Apollo also owned the brand for a few markets and later sold it to sumitomo for Asia and Africa. Almost all Dunlop's available in our markets only state engineered in Japan made wherever.
Sumitomo are also suppliers of brake systems, and other components to the likes of Yamaha.
@@tomball84 Goodyear got America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand for the Dunlop brand. Sumitomo is very well known in Aus and is a good mid-range tyre, good for about 100k klm.
Thought I knew the name! Thanks
Matt: ‘What am I doing with my life?’ … Us: ‘What are we doing, watching Matt wondering what he’s doing with his life?’
Dodged a bullet with that one. When you asked 'what should I do with this one' the thought that went through my mind was 'set fire to it'.
LOL I thought he was going to say someone piled into the back and wrote it off 😂
I haven’t watched the video yet but I’m guessing he massively overspent
For once you are wrong haha
Matt’s gotta keep us on our toes!
Still think 40£ is this case is massively overspent....
Whens the WELL WERE HERE merchandising coming out 😂
He absolutely still lost money, £20 a feul vallet and mechanic labour cost
I always have hope that one of these videos the previous owner is watching and just has to sit and watch Matt rinse them on how disgusting they are
Probably severe depression tbh. Depression causes people to do far worse, unthinkable things. A scruffy car was probably the least of the owners worries 🤧
Haha! I was laughing when you explained your luck story! Good on ya mate! You got saved from a lemon!
Gotta love Matt. The eternal optimist. Keep up the good work.
I'm sure those blokes at the car wash have a picture of you in the back with dart holes in it haha.
Lucky escape my knowledge of obscure tyre brands is expanded every time I watch your channel 😂
I recently bought a 2013 Polo 1.6 TDI Highline (still a 6R) and I must say: I’m impressed! It drives really well and is very comfortable. It gets 3,8 L/100 km (mixed driving), which is pretty good. We serviced it (oil and new timing belt) when we bought it. It has, otherwise, a pretty full service book, where, as far as I can tell, nothing has gone wrong. It has no rust (even driving in salty, wet Denmark). It has done 234.000 km, which is quite a lot, but it has absolutely no rattles or squeaks - it doesn’t even creak in the plastic when going over bumps. Maybe it’s because I’m coming from a 2005 Yaris, but the Polo seems so much better. It rides better, steers better, is more quiet and has good amount of mod cons. My perception may change, especially if something goes wrong with it, but right now I’m delighted.
Really enjoyed this one Matt. Cheered me up no end. Was so pleased this worked in your favour!!!!❤
These videos are just so compelling! It has the classic 3 scenes: story plot, drama and resolution 😅. Love it
Glad you like them!
Delighted this isn't your problem Mat, you deal with enough of them 😂 Also great content for us viewers as always.
As a car trader myself, this is the sort of interior condition I do sometimes have to deal with, it’s vile how some people keep their cars, have some self respect and some sort of hygiene, doesn’t take much to take it somewhere for a clean if you can’t bothered. The way this car is kept, the damages, and the budget tyres paint a picture of this car, I do agree how a double din unit to be bought and fitted can be far more important.
My mate and I had nicked a bloke for driving with excess alcohol one dark, rainy night. His motor was absolutely disgusting, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it smelled of pig sh1t. I had to drive it back to the nick with the windows down in the pouring rain in order not to vomit. Happy days.
I’m genuinely shocked you haven’t been banned from your local valeters after some of the skips you’ve taken there! If I worked there and I saw you turn up I’d be off on an early lunch for sure! 🤣
I think there's a good chance it started life as a hire car due to the FT prefix. I've had two Polos for a total of 7 years and actually my experience was really good - the two most reliable cars I've ever had. Perhaps I didn't realise how lucky I was!
I’m amazed how every single time when i’m watching a new video from you i discover some new tyre brands. 😂
Haha same 😂
Nice bit of luck you had there Matt I bet that actually was the best £40 you ever spent you could literally see the smile on your face 😁 great vid as usual Matt cheers 👍
i dont know what it is about your voice but its so calming and nice to listen to
Thanks
Matt I love these videos, I watch every single ‘I bought a cheap’ please keep it going 👍 🎉
Glad you like them!
@@HighPeakAutosas someone who bought a nail of a VW....
I've had my second hand 2010 polo for over 10 years and covered over 80k miles since I've owned it. The only issues have been corroded sill and rear calipers seizing. Mine has the 85hp 1.4 naturally aspirated lump with a timing belt and 5 speed manual. The drivetrain has never missed a beat and still pulls strong some 85k miles later. The key is to avoid all the timing chain engines, they're absolutely s**t
That is interesting, I have a 2011 and had the exact same problems: corroded sills and rear callipers seizing. 1.2 TDI 75hp, currently at 113k miles (only small portion of that was done by me) but still doing good. But the first thing I did when I bought it is to replace the timing chain (not a belt unfortunately). Other than that just routine maintenance
I agree I have the ibizia with the same engine with 129k on great engines
With VAG products anything with a turbo will lead to problems too, especially if you don't service it religiously or beyond (some have suggested oil changes every 5k miles). It's really not something done by a lot of people that buy used a used polo though
@@nonamewatchamacallit7828 I have the 1.4 TSI in a Golf of the same era as my first car and have done 35k miles in the last 2 years and the engine has been really reliable. However I am starting to get the slightest of timing chain noises on startup (Serviced with proper oil and filter every 8k miles). No other real issues with the rest of the car so far.
The petrol ones to be more precise, because in all their genius, VW invented the DRY timing chain,..why bother putting the chain inside to keep it lubricated and last a lifetime; you let it out, like a belt, so it lasts 5x less, costs 5x more to replace, with the added bonus that it makes 'warning noises' 🙄
Result 👍 a stroke of luck returning that banger, although I would’ve asked for the 40 quid as it was their fault in allowing it to be moved on and they now have a fuelled and cleaned car. Matt you’re too pleasant and easy going but it’s probably why you’ve been so successful 🙏
More than welcome to come and see my VW Polo match commuting car Matt. Always clean always tidy on the inside and out. 63 plate with 67k on the clock. Looked after and cared for.
Your actually up as this video will net you in more than £40. Winner Matt 💪
Ah, lucky escape Matt - well done! Having said that, I've noticed that a lot of the VWs you've bought have demonstrated very poor quality and endurance which I've never realised... As such, you've fortunately made me look elsewhere for a potential replacement replacement to my elderly BMW estate diesel, now over 200, 000 miles! Thank you!!
Matt, turns out you were spot-on regarding vaping and the Crystal Bar.
About 8 minutes in, I'd say repair the dent. Fix the interior broken bits. Have the minor exterior scratches buffed out. Have it professionally cleaned on the inside. New floor mats. Should freshen it up quite a bit. Seems as though there'd be a good amount of profit still left in it, afterwards. But I too have no clue why this model is so desirable. Reminds me of the Jeep Wrangler here in America. Insanely popular, surprisingly expensive (both new and used), and honestly it's dog-sh.... Only good for going off-road. And even then requires thousands upon thousands of dollars for aftermarket accessories to make it a legit off-road capable vehicle. In terms of everything else, it's absolute garbage! Yet folks will happily throw their life-savings away just to own a bog standard version of one.
What a relief Matt. I was not aware that you thought the Polos to be overrated. Now I know, and I trust you, I will drop them from my consideration. Cheers
So enjoyed watching this, cheers Matt
Summed it up with your usual expert insight and breadth of knowledge when you referred to this particular car as a ‘turd’ 😂😂😂 great video Matt. You keep us coming back regularly because there’s always a bit of humour in there 👏🏻👍🏻
Haha thanks
I really wonder how many tire brands there are in the world. During these episodes, unknown brands appear on every other car.
Double coin is a new favourite of mine, tyre reviews tested them on a VW Golf and it was seen to be one of the worst tyres in modern times, it would understeer like mad and then snap oversteer badly. It couldn't handle a high speed lane change with even ESP unable to keep it stable and it had the worst stopping distance in all conditions but it did have 1 redeeming feature, it was a very quiet tyre.
Sorry Matt: You've got a smile on your face and this video has made me chuckle. Regards.😁
“Very good” should be a catch phrase of yours aswell, would look lovely on that air fresher
I never knew how bad these cars could get, it makes me realise how incredibly lucky I have been with my 2010 1.2 over the past 3 and a half years considering it had NO SERVICE HISTORY, 83,000 miles and what looked like white mould in the rear footwell when I got it. Its had some issues with the starter motor, shock absorbers, headlight levelling not working, boot catch failing, but I still think I've got off lightly. I intend to keep hold of mine until its end as it does everything I need it to, although something faster would always be nice.
The VW badge has been a let down here - high mileage again just wears any car (if not serviced out!!!
I'm 100% with you on the Polo Matt. I think people get taken in by the badge. They're unreliable and and are now rusting badly. I bought a 2010 one to sell on recently which had an history book as thick as the yellow pages, most of which were for things that had gone wrong with it. The Fiesta', I10's and mazda 2's of the same era are far better in every way.
We had a Polo like this with DSG for about 5 years, it never had any major problems - so i think it really depends on the condition. If you find a great example, it can be a really good car. Actually i liked it miles better, than my coworker's Corsa D.
I had 65 1.4 gt 50k NO PROBLEMS AT all.. perfect car.
The one in my family is a 1.2 tsi which was driven by everybody, absolutely abused and did 70k miles of pure city driving in 9 years. It literally drives like new, feels perfectly tight, never had a single issue. It's a little tank. Saying any of those cars you just mentioned is better is laughable. I10? Mazda 2? Those tin cans? Gimme a break.
P.S. if you look at the used car market, the superminis with most miles covered are all Polos..
Strange. My dad had a 2010 polo, albeit it was the better engine. 1.4 16V petrol. He paid 7k for it with 9k miles on it. Did 80k miles in it. I learnt to drive in it. Only things that went wrong that shouldn’t have- were a window regulator, a wheel bearing, and a top mount.when he traded it in, in average condition, he still got £3k for it.
I think Jimmy's telling Porky's😂
Loved this video did not expect a happy ending, what happened to that very wet blue anorak in your back window👍👍😂😂
A good chef should be able to butter a Ciabatta with a Draper screwdriver and make a nice cheese & oregano sandwich 🥪
😂
awesome video as always, if u think logically, the mk7 fiesta is just such a better car overall when compared to the polo. Put a vw badge on the fiesta and more people would take it, as i feel the polo is just desirable due to the badge. the fiesta is also cheaper to maintain, an a more enjoyable car.
I agree
Fiesta looks miles better too
People buy the badge before the car
Hi Matt, great video you must be so relieved to walk away from one. I will never understand why people don’t take care of the cars. Love the channel. Great work. Best wishes Graham. 😃😃
"I will never understand why people don’t take care of the cars." Reason, money.
I enjoy all your videos they are great and informative
Crazy how much car are cheaper in the UK than in Germany. I'm looking for a used car for 4500 euros and all I'm able to find is at best 15 plus year old beaters and these VW in a decent condition would be at around 6000 euros here. Seems a Hyundai Getz or an old Aygo is all I can afford.
Yes my first car was a 2004 Golf for £400, we are very lucky
Here in Italy for the same generation used polo they want something like 3000€ but you all find them with 300.000km on the clock. Or you pay something like 5/6/7 k € for a 100.000/150.000km from 2009/10 ._. Quite expensive these...
They used to be even cheaper! Used car prices have gone up recently in the UK. I purchased over the last few years a Vauxhall Corsa for £700, a Volvo S80 for £1500, and a Vauxhall Astra/Opal G for £900.
not when you have motor skill and co ordination impairments ,( moderate -severe and have to buy automatic ,( dont qualify for mobility scheme lol ) my Toyota Corolla 3 door 1.6 vvti ( good condition) E120 80k miles , cd player , sounds system , front fog lights , electric mirrors , windows , a hell of alot more space costs £2500 had it six months , still better value than what gouge dealers were trying to flog at the time like absolute base spec 2002 yaris woth a 1 litre engine roll up windows , manual mirrors , cassette 120,00 miles and they were asking £2400 , dint ecen hace allooy wheels 😂
I remember my mothers 2010 VW Polo (same model as you’ve bought here) has such considerable rust issues that she got rid of it by 2014.
Shouldn’t rust at that age. Volkswagen would likely have covered that under the 12 year anti corrosion warranty.
Love my polos, I currently have a 2010 1.6tdi. You're right in what you're saying. When they're good, they're good, but there's so much to go wrong
Cracking video even if the car is a nail. You deserve the good luck on this one. On why Polos and the like are so popular, I think they still trade on the reputation for reliability established in the days of the Beetle.
Bro got a drugs dealers car 🤣🤣🤣
Always amazed by how "normal" new cars get rusty in the UK and how cheap cars are in general... If it wasn't for the RHD, i would start an export of veichles 🤣
Nice video as always
They only get rusty because people don't look after them. Salted roads in winter mean you need to rinse that salt off. If you fail to do that, it attacks the body.
They rust because idiots will go months even years on end without washing their cars. Sure the chasis and bodywork is nowhere near as prone to rust as in the past but if you allow dirt to build up it will absorb moisture and rot your car, you'll also get salt from the roads in winter that will rot the car.
Keep it up man😊
What a 🍋 brilliant vid as usual. Love these!
I suppose the phrase “you can’t polish a turd” would fit in perfectly here Matt 😂
Glad you got lucky
You can't even roll this one in glitter!!! 😂
I had a polo on 40k miles and it was shocking I had so many problems. German engineering my arse
the funny thing is that my co workers fiat 500 never had issues in in 7 years
Great video HPA, happy days 🤣👍
That's a shame - I was looking forward to seeing that car with body repairs, refurbished silver wheels, and new decent tyres. But I guess bringing this one back would have seen you a lot worse off than 40 quid down. Another very enjoyable vid, Matt. Thanks.
Glad it worked out - £40 down (£20 valet + £20 fuel - but isn't their a mechanic's bill for you to pay as well?) but you got an interesting vid out of it. But I do wonder who they'd sold it to and what they will think if they ever watch this vid! Their new-to-them car is obviously a heap - a complete nail. But if it's sold to them through the trade they will, I guess, have come-back to get it sorted. Happily for you, that's not your problem!
Hi Matt, I have to say, you are not the only one who doesn't understand people that doesn't take care of their cars, I don't either, I have a saying people like that who doesn't have the time of day to take care of their cars generally they don't like their cars and the car doesn't like them hence the huge shopping list to fix up their mess, when I first brought my first car, A Hyundai i20 2010 back in 2016, it was sort of a good one on the surface, then we noticed rust in the boot and air con issues, it had small issues, I sold it after three months, but now that I think about it that Polo takes the cake compared to that i20, plus it was clean, the person I sold the i20 to kept it and sold it like last year, I parked next to it ironically I was in my 2017 i20, but again it seemed on the outside at least to have been well looked after. I don't know about now though as it seems to have been sold again to another person. My point is a well looked after car will last a very long time. A Lemon would probably end up in the scrap yard and have a short life. I feel sorry for those cars.
Matt just seen your older brother playing a vet on tv, I could not believed how much alike you are.
Quite interesting hearing you talk about the timing chain on that BZG engine. I’ve had a 9N3 with the exact same engine and it’s still going strong on the original chain at 250K km. When you compare the luxury and driving feeling with the citybug, you’ll know where the premium comes from :)
Hardly luxurious, it’s a VW 😭
Those tyres are worth so many points in Scrabble
... and on your licence too!
I’ve got an 03 plate vw polo that I paid £900 for 8 years ago. Been superb never let me down apart from needing a spark plug. Love it especially the cassette player with wind down windows. She still marches on through every mot…. Awesome
Damn you got the 1.2 E model 55hp and no features reliable but boring as hell and no AC.
I have a 2012 1.6 TDI 105hp and she's been an absolute angel to me. Ive had her since 2016 and apart from usual wear and tear, I've had no problems (touch wood). I bought her with 86k km and she's now at 232k km. Maintained every year on the dot. She could do with a clean though 😂
I just had a big service done on my 7 year old Kia, just north of £500. Only issue was a bulb out. It's been properly looked after since it was new and despite the expense, I think it's worth it as it continues to run just as it did when new. Not a budget tyre in sight either! Look after a car and it will look after you.
13 year old Kia here. Likewise. Needs a service. And tyres. Anyone want a 13 year old Cee'd? Matt @highpeakautos????
Making me feel inferior
I have a 2018 1.25L Hyundai i20, owned it since early 2019 and done several trips on it from Scandinavia to Spain & Portugal (currently in Spain) + use it as my daily driver, the only thing it has needed apart from normal servicing has been a set of rear brake pads, in the aprox. 6 yrs & 110.000Km its been running its been bulletproof. i´v seen a Mk1 (2009) i20 1.25L with 388.000Km = 241.092 miles 1 owner and according to him it has never let him down, still driving it on a daily basis. People that dismiss Korean cars for the "Premium brands" are really stupid.
I don't like the dual clutch auto box in my car, but apart from that, agreed, though main dealer servicing on Korean cars seems especially expensive for reasons best known only to the dealers.
@@M.S-Music
@@RubensDad Mine is manual so no experience with automatics. Where i live Hyundai has one of the cheapest service rates! But i have always serviced my car at an independent mechanic whom i´v known for many many years, i can bring my own oil/spare parts and he charges me minimum for labor while i can be along side him seeing what is being done and we always go through the whole car together to check that everything is fine. last service oil/filter/brake fluid/brake pad change cost me 50€ for labor. Its crucial to find a trustworthy good independent mechanic, saves a lot of money and you know that the job is done well! Many dealerships have very young mechanics who are still learning things and you have no clue what is really being done to your car since you have no visibility except the invoice...
The stretched timing chain might have something to do with the old oil, though i dont know if it would ruin it that quickly.
More likely to be a cheap aftermarket chain. Should have fitted a VW part.
Great videos! Big event today: My 2013 Ford Focus 1.6TDCi turned 200,000 miles. Serviced every 12.5k and 25k (big service). Good condition inside but battle scars on the outside. I have had it from new and worth £100 on trade-in but $1,000,000 to me and still does 500 per week of trouble free cost effective motoring!
Just think of the positive whole life cycle analysis and impact when compared with an EV!
A banger as always.
Back in the day the original Polo's were solid little work horses. But this was a long time ago.......
We used to have an 08 diesel Polo. Had it 12 years, did over 100k and no issues. Regret selling it tbh! Mind you we did service it every year unlike whoever had this one...!
The only Polo I ever had, had a hole in it! 🙂
I love the glee in Matt’s voice when he was reading through the list knowing it was going back…..
Hey up as always 👌👌
Funny how the British hate puntos and pandas with their massively reliable FIRE engines that can be maintained with pocket change,but love these timing chain stretching, oil burning overrated pieces of misery
Those FIRE engines were amazing. Mum had several original Pandas.
Ford fiesta 1.25 engines are much the same
I'm kind of horrified how I'm not baffled myself. I valet cars that look exactly like that here in Ireland. Although we'd get new cars looking like that.. Honestly the stuff I've come across in cars is horrific
I had a black polo "moda" as my first car, 2010 reg! I loved it and always looked after it. I sold it in 2018 and looked it up recently still on the road with 120k!
“Vape bong” get this man on csi miami
I've got one of those (2011) with a 1.2 TDI. Really nice build quality, in a good spec (tinted back windows, parking sensors, heated front seats), but really underpowered with my engine. If you gonna go for it, do the 1.6, unless you only do city driving. Though to be fair the economy is great - I'm doing 5l/100km (50UKmpg) city (35mph), and 4-4.5l/100km (50-70 UKmpg) doing 60mph. Picked mine up for around 3.5k GBP (roughly converted from PLN) 5 years ago, and other than some rust on the back of the outer sills (same spot on both sides, but not as nearly as bad as the video), it's doing good.
Sumitomo is actually a brand I've heard of! Japanese company, but made at a plant here in Buffalo, NY!
Ah ok. Didn’t know that
@@HighPeakAutos They make Goodyear, Falken, Dunlop. But this owner chose their "bargain" tire which obviously is no surprise 😅
Yep, Sumitomo are a better budget brand. They have a decent parent company (Goodyear I think in the USA and Falken in Europe) unlike most Chinese budget tyres.
Yeah, it has one decent tyre out of four! That's not too bad, could have been zero...
Matt didnt overspend Yaay!
Great video as usual! :D
Reviews of sheds are the funniest ones. So much more satisfying than a review of a good car.
These things are retailing on Autotrader at £5k! That's horrendous. Why would anyone pay £5k for a 13 year old Polo which is so underpowered that it will get overtaken by snails, cockroaches and bedbugs. Speaking of bedbugs, the only advantage of this one is that your average self-respecting bedbug would give it one look and move onto another car.
because its German. you can buy an alfa romeo brera or a mazda RX8 with 5K
@@karimtemri1664so are many fords and others too
Brilliant vid as always mate.
You should have said " I haven't massively over spent" :)))
Talk about a Great Escape Matt... Phew.. 👍🙌
Nice to see you in the L322 ❤
Fiestas are fun to drive, Polos are as dull as dishwater regardless of variant.
Fiesta and fun dont match
@@arbiossinani5816 They do, in both senses of the word.
A dealer friend ? God knows what the ones you don’t class as friends would sell you !😂
Nice to get a win for a change, Matt!
Your videos have me in stitches sometimes
Quick question would you recommend a first time driver who does a lot of miles
petrol or diesel
Diesel, you will get more mpg, thus reducing your already expensive motoring costs.
If you don’t drive in low emission zones, diesels can be a good buy at the moment, especially if you do over about 12k a year.
Keep the key ring, great video
I had the 3dr one of these in low spec S 60bhp, which I bought new in 2010 purely as a commuting tool, for just under £10k, which then after 90k miles I gave to my daughter, she kept it a further 10k miles, it was a cracking little car. We never had the stretched chain issue, but did have the suspension and coil pack ones, but we always maintained it on time and took care of any issues before they became a problem.
Sold it a young local lad (well actually his father obviously) who was yet to pass his test, so he’d have something cheap to insure, and that was a bit more desirable than a Corsa.
His mother who contacted me initially, phoned me up the next day and said she loved the car, and fully intended to use the car herself till the son passed his test.
Still miss it a bit, and every MOT anniversary I look to see how it got on. It’s still passing advisory free at 130k miles. But this example just goes to show what happens if you neglect them.
Vape bong has been added to my vocab ✅️
The headlining looks lovely, best thing in the car.
Great video as always. You got out of jail on that one. Haven't seen the white range rover for a while did you sell it?
Sumitomo is actually the company which produces Dunlop-Branded tyres nowdays. And it is one of the Four major tyre makers in Japan, alongside with Bridgestone, Yokohama and Toyo. 6:38
My seat ibiza 1.2 has done 120k miles, and it is a great little car, its economic, cheap to repair, ive had it since i was 20, and it never left me stranded, it has been spotless.
Have thought for some time that these were overrated and you just confirmed it! You got out of it surprisingly well Matt
That keyring is probably worth more than the car lol, Paul & shark nice 👌🏻
Good result Matt😁
Any landing you walk away from is a good landing. An old phrase of pilots which seems apt for this car. By contrast, years ago bought a 2001 1L Polo, three daughters learned to drive in it, only major cost was a new clutch and sold it for very close to the purchase price. There are good ones or there. Thanks for the video.
I like the saying
Love the videos! Although you should of video'd yourself returning the car and doing the little dance as you left it... lol
