Buying The Worst Jetta GLI on Gods Green Earth
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มี.ค. 2024
- This MK6 GLI was Bought for $3,000. This car was supposed to be a steal with 95,000 miles and a clean title, but as you'll see, there's more to this story than meets the eye.
We uncover the truth behind this ruined GLI that didn't quite match the reality of the for sale post.
No, there will not be any more videos on this car, we have to keep our sanity.

When big Altima energy meets German Engineering.
I hear some bearded individual has an Mk7.5R powertrain ready to be swapped into this thing.
That poor power train.
I came here to say the same thing. I see an AWD Golf R Swapped Jetta! Pleaaaase!!!
Absolutely fucking not 😂
@@WolfsburgSlim Golf R AWD doesn't bolt right up to the Jetta, that was only for MkV. For this one to work they would need a bunch of parts from Audi TT.
@@ThousandBlade For a full AWD swap, the manual MK6R 2012-2013 pretty much bolts over to the mk6 Gen3 jetta (if you keep the Jetta's engine). For a DSG car it's best to swap over from an audi A3 2008-2013. This plus an IS38 swap is pretty much the setup that Charles Devine was running when he was showcased on this channel.
I'm impressed that a EA888 Gen 2 with zero maintenance lasted over 200k without blowing up.
gen 3
@@PomeloMk8gen 2. Gen 3 came out in 2015 and Paul said this car is a 2014 so it would be gen 2
Not to mention that it was most likely tuned
@@Afraz_9n3the engine cover is from a Gen3, I think it’s a Gen3 because it has the facelift MK6.5 GLI
the preface lift MK6 GLI def has the Gen2 engine cover
@@Yaboybash fair enough. Idk enough about these mk6 jettas because we didn't get past the mk5 in the UK so I can't say for sure what gen the engine is. All I know is that if it is a 14 plate it should be gen 2 but it's entirely possible judging by how much the seller lied about that he got the year wrong and it is in fact a 15 plate
I would of called that seller out for lying and walked away from it
That doesn’t make for good content. “We bought this super cheap car and didn’t have to do anything. Look at it! Aaaaand that’s the episode”
@@EvilSe7en Really starting to hate this format, too easy, too repetitive there's just no heart in it.
"We bought a cheap Land Rover from Birmingham" that's like 4 videos right there, why not buy something cool for once? Doesn't even have to be a total wreckage to be interesting...
Paul built different
@@CarbonPanther I don't know. I like to see how incompetent most car owners are. Videos like this are why I hate buying used cars (unless I plan to completely redo them anyway).
@@CarbonPantherwhat’s too “easy”? They’re buying random janky cars to fix to show to everyday people that YOU CAN TOO do small repairs or show the reality of buying cheap cars with multiple issues
Only 148221 miles off. That's pretty close. I can't believe you bought this! 😅
He'll probably make double the money from the views on this video 😂
Air filter had me dead
Needs to go into a museum
Might aswell run a teeshirt asn air filter it will be better than that
Such high quality it even keeps that nasty ol' thing "air" from entering.
Please tell me you didn't pay the 3k asking price after he lied and wasted your time, the mileage and title lies are wild let alone just hiding damage in photos. What a scumbag
Second that.
mans woulda got $500 and a mcchicken
Typical "ran when parked" FB Marketplace malfeseance.
R.I.P 200k Air Filter 🥲🥴🤣😂🤣😂
Dear god that poor Jetta
As a GLI owner.... this is sad :(
Agreed!!
As a former GLI owner, this is pure abuse 😢
The bit where Charles will come to your house an install the Shop DAP shirt lmaooo Paul is so funny. I just love how both of you come to my house and install all the things I buy. I save a fortune when it comes to labor.
Red Flag #1: Undisclosed Damage.
#2: Miles double what they had claimed.
#3: NOOOT a Clean Title in Hand.
Would have walked. Screw that guy that that lied like that.
Think about the possibilities for youtube content and for only a 3k investment. Its paid for itself for sure. Plus its hilarious, its a situation no one wants to face and its being done for us at no expense to you or me. Kudos. As for how such a thing came to be so crapped out, well that's a story for another day I guess.
@@KeithHeinrich"think of the content" shouldn't be the first reaction when encountering a scammer. They'll still come out on top when they fix it and flip it, but it's still a garbage situation. Hacked up wiring, cracked chain guides, stretched chain, 200k on a garbage air filter, come on.
@@Hawk7886 And he bought it anyway. He will have made his money back easy on YT. And if it gets parted out then there's money in that as well. YTubers always looking for an angle for the next content - not that there's anything wrong with that. Their buying criteria is a lot different to most folks for a reason.
Paul’s deadpan delivery is perfect. This video delivered all the way until the end.
Before covid and alternate reality $3k would buy a decent car. That car would have been 500 bucks!
True
@13:51 😂 Love that you narrowed it down to just one or the other!
hope you left him a bad review for lying on the sale.
Wow what fantastic content this will be… thanks for putting your sanity on the line for us viewers!
that's one trash seller
He did sell the car tho, probably made money too
Yeah but the price was right...
he still trash@@stefandegraaf5675
@@Robis_Grigorisnot even close. That was a $1500 car if we’re being realistic here
@@kickthots2824500$ car pre pandemic
Yeah I would told dude to kick rocks if I showed up to that… but I love that you can take these on or at least save someone else from making the mistake of buying this! Thanks Paul!
A mechanic that is quite humble has a mint R powertrain waiting for a swap, might wanna look into it
I love your videos bro I hope you continue uploading more like this
I need chaos in my life, so I'm hopelessly hooked on watching your videos. Paul is amazing host, and hilarious. And has forgotten more about cars than I know. I used to drive Skoda Superb with 1.8t, but switched to Aero Saab. But my girlfriend still drives Vw Polo which I maintain and fix everything myself.
I love how your camera man doubles as your sidekick, he’s like your Andy Richter!
Thanks for taking one for the team and buying this for amazing content instead of blasting the stupid owner :D. Amazing how people think lying will always work. I know we need idiots like that in the world, but damn. Ordering a shirt right meow to Charles can help me put it on, thanks!!
I laughed when you said it had 240k miles not 90k🤣🤣
Another great video of Paul just saying everything from everyone's unfiltered frustrated car brain.
People just odnt care avout their cars, i work in a tire shop, guy came in with a new VW passat, 23k miles. Only wanted to replace one tire and rotate it to the opposite side.
23k miles
Damage to passenger side fender, suspension fucked cause tires were cupping and serverly uneven, rims acratched, rim getting new tire slightly bent. Other tires 4/32nds of tread remaining.
Inside, clean as iff just off the lot. Outside, even without the fender damage, dirty AF.
with that type of owner, I'd be curious if he's even done an oil change or two. VERY sad!! It's the "throw-away culture" just like a smartphone mentality.
As soon as I saw that it was a listing from Salisbury I knew it was gonna be a basket case. I'm shocked it doesn't have any bullet holes in it.
This is my therapy 👍🏻 thank you
Great video pure joy and laughter watching
Great video, you guys are funny!
Some real Big Altima Energy emanating from this GLI, dude. Incredible…
This is the funniest video you guys have put out yet. I literally laughed out loud.
"What we've found is that it probably either needs a starter or an engine."
I like how you are advertising a spark plug socket on your site that is on backorder lol
wow, i am impressed you accepted it for other than for parts (what was left)
I would love a video on the easiest way to rebuild this motor after jumping time. There are dozens of cheap cars with this exact issue kicking around here.
I had no idea you had your own channel! I really want to see you build a fast car! I honestly want to see one of you german guys build a turbo 5cylinder jetta with the dual clutch transmission. Personlly i think that would be an amazing engine and transmission to swap into a toyota mr2.
Mid engine, cool 5 cylinder and turbo noises, and dual clutch for full racecar.
"It probably needs a starter or an engine" hilarious
Another awesome vid😂❤
I actually laughed out loud at some of this... Can't wait to see what you guys end up doing with the car.
If this doesn’t embody the whole of trying to buy any car on Facebook marketplace nowadays, then I don’t know what does. 😂😂😂
I just frigging bought a 24 gli and u finally do a gli
I was unaware of the Charles Install option...🤔
As a GLI owner of that same model that is NOT a 2014 GLI that is the 2016-18 yr model mk6.5 Jetta GLI I have the same model in tornado Red an absolutely beautiful car, fun to drive looks super clean and for a young driver it’s IMO one of the best cars you can get as a first car it comes fully loaded and has a baby turbo to get tho good highways speeds, plus with not to many mods it can be a better daily, depending on one’s tastes you can add a lot or a little to this car to make it your own one reason I will forever keep my GLI no matter what new cars come out as this is becoming a more rarer model to see as the years progress.
I think the front end was replaced with a 6.5 front end after the first crash
when he said the thing about buying cheap parts he is 100% right i bought an amazon oil pan for my 2013 gti and it leaked out of the drain plug welds horrendously
Tell me about it. Both my cars need parts right now and I would love to buy something cheaper than OEM, but it's just too much of a gamble. I spoke with my shop that does more complex, vital repairs I prefer not to touch and asked them "got any suggestions for aftermarket ?", they said no, unless it's regular maintenance item like filter, than OE supplier will do. I like cars and motorbikes so I can workaround this, but it's beyond annoying to spend so much effort on mondane stuff instead of driving or even cleaning my rides.
That air filter should be in a museum, holy crap
I just got a 2015 Jetta gli that doesn’t start and I’m pretty excited to work on it, looks just like yours
240k miles tbh is very good. Gives me hope for my mk7 gli
But man. That poor gli. Why do people do this to cars? Hopefully it can become special
5:05 someone's been carrying shrubberies in this trunk 😂😂😂
Shocking that FB Marketplace didn't have a legit listing! Please tell me you knew all this before showing up? I would have driven 45 min just to give that guy a face five for such a shady listing. Paul's commentary is exactly how my inner monolog runs when I'm looking at cars like this. Hilarious!!
Makes for great TH-cam content. Remember, they can write the car off as a tax deduction so there’s not much fear of losing money. In fact. If the video does well, they’ll make money on the deal
I've always wondered who is buying these horrifically misrepresented cars. If I were in that position, I'd light the seller up on the spot and not buy it.
Only a few minutes into the video so sorry if it's already been answered -- how exactly did the in person sale process go when all these things came up? The not-title, the mileage, the extensive damage?
Sooo, you got scammed and you can actually report this to the police?
Jesus. Looking forward to the next installment
Holy shit. Rest in peace 200k intake, truly a tortured soul bound for God's loving embrace.
babe wake up ShopDAP just uploaded
As a fellow 2013 mk6 GLI owner I am now enthralled in knowing how this turns out. next video please.
This was unexpectedly entertaining
That car is Meth'ed up.
Sure is
Sunday Paul Install videos. A few of my favorite things.
Wow this took a highly illegal turn for the worse! Very quickly!
The air filter memorial got me tearing up 🥲
I absolutely love these
It’s also not a 2014. The rear tails are 2015+ and front bumper is 2016+
Wow! I am sure they were getting a "Ton of Extra Power" with that "E-Z Breathe" Intake Air Filter.
The dude who had that Jetta must be from Alabama. His parents are siblings and they dropped him one to many times on his head!
It always blows my mind how a car can have such a short rough life. But your right for 3000 there is some good parts there.
Would you recommend a nicer one I want to get into a VW and am conflicted on what to get
But I much prefer this body style gli to the new one
Almost thought this was the GLI I see everyday in Mooresville, looks so similar 😂
I miss my MK6 2017 GLI 6speed. Lost her to a total loss accident after some kid rear ended. IMO they look superior to the MK7 but I know the engine is not as good.
Quick question does the front bumper of this car fit a golf mk6 gti. They should be the same platform right? My own gti had enough speedsbumps that i need a New dumper in front.
I really love your humor 😂❤
Reminds of when I drove fours hours to pick up a car and had specifically asked "Clean title in your name, in hand?" and was told "Yes". As Maury Povich was known to say "That was a lie". Another two hours at the title loan place and I had a title with lien release, but boy was I annoyed.
This hurts my heart in so many places💔. I own a jetta mk2 and always wanted one of these GLI's. it just makes me think "Why would you do that to such a beautiful machine!?" 😫
Is that Charles offer available for overseas customers as well? I'd even take him to Wolfsburg in a Clubsport.
Seeing that air filter actually caused me pain. Mechanical sympathy is really 😢
That's how my intake looked after I bought it from a volkswagon dealership. When it was time to service I was amazed. Let it soak in the k&n cleaner and washed it and it looked brand new!
The tape around the harness in all its ghetoness is how it comes from the factory...
That filter is wild!
10:39 definitely a crazy good deal to have it professionally installed 😫🥵
10:34 - best line of the video, you’re welcome
I think he’s headed your way now
haha can't wait@@Deutscheautoparts
What website could you see the pics of the wreck? I think my fit was also purchased from copart
The red discoloration is from the harness being exposed to sunlight, it more than likely sat with the hood open “under repair” for a few days or weeks
So when you went there and found no title and 243k miles did you pay the guy $500? I know this is for content, but being lied to like that would've had me walking away
john snyder (TLCT Motorworks) in Hagerstown MD has $1000-$1500 mk6 motors
love this videos
Reasons I always go manual on used Vdubs. Don’t want to run into a neglected DSG or go through the extensive checking on the condition of the DSG.
@10:30 has me laughing so much, i have watched this part like 23 times now
I can't even wrap my head around on how some people treat their cars.
For those wondering it is the CPPA gen 3 EA888. The reason it looks different is because the turbo is a mgt1752s not the same as the gti.
Evidence: I own a 2017 GLI with the same exact engine
Please explain how you can DIY your car maintenance without replacing the easy and most obvious things like oil and filters
Honestly would love to watch a rebuild series of that engine…
What surprised me in this video is the price of the ignition coil. $53 per is a great price, especially when you consider all this inflation bs.
That air filter was F U C K E D
Any car that can be abused for that long and potentially still run after some love will be impressive.
If only my MK7 didn’t rip it self apart from a defective cam at 135K miles…
Oof sorry to hear. Any warning signs for that? I've got a Mk7 with about 130k on it as well and wonder if there's any red flags I should look out for.
@@Krauser1226 🤔 I’m not sure. My car suddenly started snapping belts so I thought it was a faulty AC compressor. Oh boy was I wrong.
I bought the car after it was a bit abused from the previous owner at 90K miles. I think it was on its way out based on the shiny bits I started to see in the oil filter
@@cardiacdrummer5443 gotcha, very interesting. I've owned mine since new and have been super up on maintenance and while I drive it like it was meant to be driven, I wouldn't say it's ever been abused. Mines been good to all its belts and other bits so maybe I've got less to worry about. It's sometimes tough not being the first owner and not really knowing all the details of how someone may have (or may not have) taken care of their car.
4 min in a very entertained. I like this type of video and it’s funny so far
I have a problem with my Golf Mk5 variant where the trunk light won't turn on. When I put ground to it, it turns on, but when I close the hatch, it doesn't turn off. I don't think it's the switch on the trunk lid because I get the notification on my dash that it's open and closed. Please help.
Ever hear or see of a jetta mk6 where the break lights are on while driving then turn off when breaking???!!! if so what was the fix?
Can you swap mk6 heated seats into a mk5? Like would wiring be the same?
I feel really good about my ‘14 se 1.8 now!
I LOL when you said "absolutely effing not" hahahaha, thank you, need that chuckle :)
