Thinking of buying a rr evoke. What are your thoughts? We have a freelander which has been great but ready to update. They are around 27k in nz dollars where I live?
One of my life's big regrets. I traded in my beautiful dark green Passat saloon TDi for an e Class way back in 2012. It was a 1999, 130k full service, immaculate inside and out, and well loved. I thought they would sell it on but it was never taxed again, and I assume went off to be scrapped. Also the timing belt had just been done on it It was such a waste and had another 100k in her. If I had known I would have kept it😥😥
hahahha "that dog is bald, because all of its hairs is now in this car" :-D
So weird I bought a £600 golf Estate 07 all I wanted it for was storage and tip run car for a few week, woman who I bought it off had it since new only getting rid because she wanted something bigger. Full vw service history the car drove like a brand new vw. . New clutch flywheel, anything jt needed it got, ive never bought a car when someone keeps every bill including tyres it was like a bible thick; genuinely expected it to be awful, noises, things broke/not working. The opposite air con everything worked I evan went down to Cheshire from the Lakes in it to prove to the wife how good this car is. She was blown away how a £600 if looked after was like new, we’ve ended up keeping it just mot’d it it passed nothing at all. Were happy with the 50mpg it does everywhere compared to our X3M which does less than half.
That was a steal.
A bought a vento many years ago excellent went to France many times in it faultless
It's always refreshing to hear these lucky stories, I'm yet to stumble upon such an example myself!
The skill here is realising what you've got in a car like that, and keeping it.
O
Love the cheap car turn arounds. Regular guys can relate to them more than Lambo"s and Ferrari"s. Nice work Matt. Content great as usual.👍👍
Agree entirely. I am always more likely to buy a car like this than a new electric/sports one, so I relate to these videos.
@@Sam-gw5pl I reckon 99% of people do aswell 😂 don't get me wrong would love a lambo but £600 cars are where my bank says its at
@@jordanplatt3916 Peasantry
@@jakereevesward4562 you're dancing right I've had my fair share of shitboxes and more expensive money pits 😫😂
@@jordanplatt3916 Me too to be fair 😉.
Candian B6 Passat estate owner here. I've owned two, the first being a rusty 2006 beater base model, purchased for $2500 as a temporary vehicle to help with moving. My wife and I were so impressed with that car and what it could do, I sought out a newer and less abused example. We ended up with a High line spec, loaded, one owner 2009 2.0TSI model with only 60,000KM. Its been a great car, perfect for road trips (the 70l fuel tank gives it long legs) gets great gas mileage and can haul just about anything... fast.
I'm enjoying these "bargain hunt" videos. It's a dark art deciding how much life is left in a car but if this one starts, runs and doesn't smell of dog it's got to be with a grand👍
Fabulous. The self-deprecation is what makes these cheap car videos interesting. Keep them coming.
Thanks!
@@HighPeakAutos it’s what I used to find so interesting about old top gear looking at vectras and mondeos - the real world real car reviews
@@gakggakg That's why high peak and Jayemm should produce their own show . Don't watch TG anymore and Grand Tour isn't really a car show anymore. Fifth gear doesn't go into the car as much as they should and how many people take their quashqai round a track....although...
@@stuarthunter7559 And HubNut maybe?
I'm a massive fan of big barges like the Mondeo, Insignia and these things. For hauling stuff around they are pretty hard to beat and represent great value!
I have an Insignia, but my last had a major engine fault after two weeks, got it with 134,000 on the clock
now trying for a refund.
@@zarrow50did you get your refund?
Yes, minus usage so didn't do too bad@@Jk-oz5qn
You need to go on Citizens advice and follow their instructions if you ever need to do it. @@Jk-oz5qn
I can smell that from here!
We have Passats as pool cars at work and despite the abuse and battering they get, they still drive well.
Great content as usual.
This is a great spec, has A/C and cruise control, there's literally nothing more you need for a good mile muncher.
but you cant put the rear windows down lol
@@leenevin8451 what kind of maniac would carry passengers?
Heated Leather seats and steering wheel wouldn’t go amiss.
@@Alexander_l322 I agree but they're luxuries. I suppose you could argue that A/C and cruise are but they make longer journies much more tolerable.
Good spec for its age yes
The cheap px videos are always my favourite, total voyage of discovery. Always learn a new tyre brand or 2! Your reactions to the state of people's cars are always a highlight. A lot of car for not a lot of money.
Top video as usual.
Had a 2010 B6 Passat, was only 1.6 tdi. Hated it, gutless. I had two insignias since and now I'm back driving a 2018 Passat b8 dsg 2.0 tdi and it's fantastic
Brilliant video as always! Love these cheap car videos! Keep up the brilliant work 🚙🚙
Keep these videos up Matt everyone loves them, it’s not all about luxury this and luxury that, it’s refreshing to see real world stuff. The subs are growing healthily too. Please never stop!
Some more volkswagen, love to see it. These videos just keep me entertained
Top man! I think these cheap PX videos are your best 👍👍
You were a brave man to do the initial test drive with the windows up🙂👍
Really looking forward to each video you make!
Great to see another banger kept on the road for another few years! I've got one of these myself on a 59 plate, 2.0 diesel r line and everything you said was spot on. Well built, comfortable, reliable and cheap to run. Lowered powered ones are a bit gutless and they're fairly boring but for the money, you can't go far wrong.
PS - Pov spec models didn't have the slide out drawer in the dash nor much else on them, easily spotted by the amber front repeaters. Better models got clear repeaters amongst other things, just to remind you that you could of done better in life 😂
Thanks for this. I'm looking for a tip runner at the moment that's still decent enough to use at the weekend for golf clubs etc.
I had one in the United States.
It had the 3.6L six and was Tornado Red.
It was a love/hate relationship.
I loved it when it was running properly and everything was functioning but after 60k miles that was seldom.
Engine and transmission were faultlessly reliable over the 200k miles I owned it but almost everything else broke often more than once.
It was replaced by a Buick Regal TourX which is a rebadged Opel/Vauxhall Insignia.
Hows the rebadged Opel doing now?
I don’t remember what went wrong with the Passat I had of this generation. I just know it wasn’t worth fixing, with what I could only sell the car for at the time. Mine was a 2.0T wagon. Loved it, and I also loved the 2012 VW I replaced it with. That had the rare V6. So rare, the service writer I had, he didn’t know it had a bigger battery than the 2.0T version. Anyway, I love Passats. On my 3rd, and wish VW would keep making them in the US, even if they don’t sell well. Guess I’ll have to pony up the money for an Arteon next. If that’s still around when I can afford one.
@@darkside924 Trouble free and just turned 65k miles.
Only issue has been a noisy rear wiper motor and that was cured with a squirt of WD-40.
Same thing with my Jetta wagon. Engine and transmission trouble free.... everything else broke.
American version of European cars are always bad
I like your honesty, no sugarcoating. Your channel is a small glimpse into the used car universe.
Love these turn around videos matt❤👍
The 1.9 tdi BXE engine is a great engine. I had one in an A3 neughbour still has a passat nowwith 450 000 a going strong. The fly wheel and hollow crank are the only weak spots. But easy to get replaced. A better car than many new cars.
Is this the one that was in the A4 TDi? If so I can’t agree, one of the most unreliable cars I’ve ever had, and I’ve had Renault and Alfa. By 50,000 it was dead.
The BXE engine actually suffers from more cases of bottom end bearing wear which causes a connecting rod to seize, snap and be ejected out of the block, than its other two 1.9 counterparts, the BLS and the BKC engines (this latter one is the bulletproof one of the three). In Passat circles (forums and blogs) it is recommended that the rod bearings in a BXE are replaced at around 100k as a preventative measure.
Great video. Love the approach. Well done mate.
Love the cheaper cars you do, anything under 10k
Also i have been watching your videos for a few years now and i do prefer when you do the walk around yourself rather then when you have a camera man do them with drone shots ect. my personal opinion.
great review and very brave to sit into it
Always enjoy these old motors videos, nice work horse this one.
Love the cheap video’s Matt thanks
Saw your video on the cheap Mk6 golf, as I love a cheap VW, ended up watching all your videos, and happy to see another old VW is back on the channel so soon!
Hello Matt, I really like these cheap car videos. Together with your comments 😂.
Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Love these videos, more like this, great content
Nice one, I like the way there’s a story told in every video.
Thanks!
Always get a laugh (or three) out of these videos Matt, and as you say 'the real worlds where it's at'....well for most of us!...😜
Keep up the good work. 👍
Love these videos flipping good old stuff
Your videos are damn addictive. I can’t put my finger on why I enjoy them so much 😁
Maybe it's a sense of taking part in the ducking and diving without the risk and inconvenience. It is for me, a bit boring when he sells them on to a mate in the trade though.
Lovely touch at the end mate
Hi Matt, could you please consider doing a short video that explains your stance on most modern diesel engines and why they are best avoided. Additionally, could you also do a piece on older diesels that can readily run on old cooking oil?
really loving these type of videos
I had an ‘07 US Passat Wagon. Didn’t know there was a version so basic, it had manual shift & manual windows. Mine was the 2.0T version, w/leather & power lift gate. The power went out on the lift gate though, so that sucked. I think it had the drawers you mentioned, in the dash. I never put anything in them, cuz they were so tiny, & I thought it was some sort of black hole that’d swallow up what I put in them. Loved that car. The gauge cluster looked high end. I loved putting the key into the dash to start it. I didn’t mind the electric brake, although it was before they became more common, so you had to tell valet people how to work it then. Only got rid of the car probably due to it needing work that wasn’t worth what I could only sell the car for. Got a 2012 Passat , and drove it till it needed work that wasn’t worth the vehicle sell price at the time. On my 3rd Passat, a 2022, and wish they would keep on making them (at least in the US). Haven’t heard about overseas or Canadian Passats being shelved, but I don’t think I like them as much as the US spec anyway. Cool video! 👍
Great video Matt!
This is what we want! 😁👍
I had a 2010 R Line B6 and I regret selling it. It was the comfiest car I've ever owned and was great on fuel.
I'd have another in a heartbeat.
Being a 1.9 diesel that will go on forever as well.
Not the best engine on b6 passat, car is too heavy for it. And bxe motor usually breaks under 300k kilometers😂
I've got a 2010 b6 80k miles 2.0 tdi 125kw. Excellent car. I've put 18 inch rims drives great. 1300 ks from a tank 25% city, 75 % highway. 5.5l 100km. Very happy with it
I also sold my 2006 2.0tdi Passat couple of months ago. Just started having too much trouble with it. Doors didn't work when it was cold outside (I live in Sweden and it gets really cold), turbo went, rear brake calipers needed replacing. And then to make the last call tandem-pump started leaking. That's when I swapped it to a newer ford.
@@mattikurimus father's b6 bxe 1.9 has 570k km my 2.0tdi has 550k km and has the bkp engine so stop talking bs
I feel sorry for you if b6 is comfiest car youve ever owned
Love the part exchange videos
That's a bargain! I am constantly amazed at car prices in the UK. I have a German Sheperd and they shed hair something shocking but I have set the car up so hair is confined to the rear and is easily and regularly vacuumed up. I always think silver cars always look so much better with tinted windows. I must admit I like these cheap part exchange videos. Looking forward to seeing the "dirty Jag" you mentioned. That should be interesting. Enjoy your one hour of TV to-night!
Great video. 👍
Great video matt real bread and butter cars keep em coming 👍
Dude ur channel is great I watch all videos so interesting to have ur input on any vehicles including bangers which are still great deal as some last forever
Love your work 👍
Lovely video mate
Enjoy your videos, especially when there is a clear outcome or plan for the vehicle.
Great video these are they are more in touch with what the average guy/gal wants to watch as its simply something everyone can afford 😁👍
Hi , if you have a smelly car cut some oranges up in segments with a knife make sure the juices bits are showing put on plate skin side down and shut the doors or put some instant coffee on a tin tray set on fire with two bricks underneath as not to burn anything and shut the doors . Works well even in doors in ones house if you have had a bucket of Artex plaster gone passed it,s use by date . Works on fridge containers , trailers .
Nice easy one that, another good find. It looked pretty solid in the video 👌
I love your videos and you are clearly a decent, honest trader. I'm moving to Marple Bridge soon, so you will have a new customer!
I have one of these cars identical to this a 1.9 BXE wagon , I have clocked up over 300kmls and it’s been very very reliable and durable , Common issues are coil springs rust and break and the rear break calibers seize up , ohhh and window regulators , Keep the oil changed and they will keep motoring on and last a long time , apparently the boot lid rusts on them but luckily mine hasn’t , very comfortable and rock solid interior.
hi i like all your cheap px used car content N your fun car humour matt,all the best m8.😉
Great always like to see these part ex videos
Always brilliant
Good vid…and noticed the slick editing to put your seatbelt on after driving off 😊
Great video
Bought a b6 estate 6 months ago to use as my daily and I absolutely love it a lot more than I expected to😂 currently on 160k miles still drives so nice and smooth
Hi Matt, another entertaining video when theres nowt on tv, nice little profit too, go crazy and keep ya tv on for a couple of hours lol. all the best to you. Nick.
Great to get this type of content , some of us still buy the smokers , thanks
Great for £350.
1.9PD BXE did have issues BKC is the "bulletproof" version of three 1.9 engines, available superceding the earlier B5.5 1.9 engines which were also very good.
Mileage might be coding error as a result of aftermarket head unit install. Midline is base spec with no phone kit, coin drawer etc.
Good flip.
That was quite a decent car for the price, well done with moving it on so quickly 😊.
Well done keeping the lads working at the car wash/valet
Keep us all smiling Matt😁
The Passat is a fantastic car. Especially the new versions. I absolutely love my B8 Estate. Done 146k and drives like it’s on 50k. Feels proper posh too for a VW. Glad you made this video 😁 cheers
It's just based on an extended wheelbase golf, nothing special. The only good Passat were the b5 / 5.5 which were based on the superior Audi A4 / A6 due to longitudinal engine layout. We had one but recently scrapped it.
@@Blackmamba12345 but the B6 Passat had 50% better torsional rigidity than B5. I think the MQB Platform now has the ability to be made so good it competes w MLB
@@Blackmamba12345 rubbish - the b6/b7 feel miles ahead and far more modern and dynamic to drive than b5/5.5, you really can't compare the two, in fact after owning a b6 highline for 10 years i struggle to find the same driving dynamics in any new vw, and ive driven the b8 passat and the golf 8's, the small suv's etc. The sharp steering feel just isn't there anymore... they lost something they achieved back in the day. Now the cars are so light and so have gone the steering feel, i guess so you can turn it with 1 small finger in any city occasion, but it really takes away the feeling. B5 in comparison is a heavy narrow goat with an extremely heavy nose and just plain boring to drive. (now i realise most people out there probably prefer the light controls, and if im tired, overworked or just had a stressful day - i admit i sometimes thought the car could've been a bit lighter to be ideal - but now after trying all kinds of stuff, my vote goes towards this car's dynamics and steering feel for sure)
The b6 financed many a mechanics retirement. Hell they were awful. Full of problems.
19:25 😂😂😂 you are a winner Matt! 🏆 awesome value for the money this Passat
Great buy. And vw interior looks very good for the age.
I had the successor (B7), sold it with over 200k km on the clock, the interior still looked new (I looked after it of course). Was a great car.
Belgian Malinois are super intelligent. Judging by the interior I wonder if the dog was actually the previous owner.
Nice one matt
Nice one on the TV & Lamp joke,😄.
Great result correct!💪
it's videos like this that really make me think i would like to have a go and flip a few cars... might have to look at your website/ course first though. interesting stuff! keep them coming!
Thanks!
Started watching your videos recently , I now find it cool to see the last service was at Bostocks in macc where I live, very good garage, liking your videos 👍
I have an 09in Canada with a 2.0 gas engine. Just came back from a road 2000km in 5 days road trip. Slept in try he back every night. Love the car.
I'm after a decent Passat to throw the dog in and do the shopping in, cheers for the video Matt just shows even high mileage older ones still have a lot of life in them.
You took one for the team getting into that. Ha ha, thanks 🙏👍
Early Saturday morning and it still is a huge pleasure to watch Your videos. A little sorry about You need to sell a Passat every day to keep the TV running!
Nice one Matt - can you imagine what the owners house is like
The trim next to the Hazard Warning Lights could come with a cup holder and Mobile Phone. Like this era of Passat. VW were killing it in the mid 2000s
Cars from that era just seem to be generally better. Fords the same. Well built, reliable and good to drive.
I like the Passat estate ever since driving one back in the 80s I loved the blaupunkt radio which always sounded great.
Love these cheaper car videos, would love to see one like this , which has had the Mark full works on it , to see what price could be achieved. I’m sure a subscriber would pay top wack for a car that gets the treatment.
Excellent video, would love to see what work the trader did and the end result too to finish the car off with his expenses
Excellent !
Had an 06 2 litre PD estate, for many years was an absolutely fantastic car
Another great video
Is there anyway of getting in contact with you for some of your expert advice
Many thanks
Very good business man. Practical,clear thinker,intelligent ,not greedy
Funny video 😂 another great review 👌👍🤜
I had a B5.5
Paid 500, spent 200 on bits, ran it for a year, put 12m test on it and sold it for a grand.
That stank too
I still see it now and again, the guy has it as his main motor.
They're decent cars
I had a 2013 Toyota RAV4 4x4 in America. I sold it about a year ago and I bought it for 10K dollars and sold it for 11K dollars. The car was in a very good condition with no crashes or scratches so it got sold in 3 weeks. The color was metallic gray (color might not be Available anymore.) The only thing wrong was with the brakes. It stops very hard on every brake but it’s still fine.
Nice delivery just love your straightforwardness, imagine if poly ticians were the same, as it appens researched meanings tician actually means untruth, well it does now.
Hi Matt you love buying the bangers hey and it’s taking you back when you first started out hey 😅
Got one. In the top spec the leather is beautiful. Brilliant car. Best seats in any car for tall people. Thigh support is so long. Front and back. Amazing comfort and as you say, lovely interior. Fits in all the camping gear. Goes forever. Bought the top spec one off my dad, who used it for 5 years going to the gold club and back, super low kms.
Every time I'm tempted to look to spend $80k on a new SUV they just don't compare. 🤷♀
This is cool. I have Touran with 1.9 TDI PD BKC engine and am very satisfied with engine
Had one of these as a company car got it 07 got rid in 11 did over 150,000 miles in it se spec with heated seats,iPod link and Bluetooth phone decent spec in 2007. Moved up the company ladders since but still think it’s in my top three ever cars. Oh and rear light clusters have never been beaten in my opinion.
Nice older cars, I have 07 Peugeot 407 2.0 hdi bought for £500 was meant to be in between car but three years later it's still going strong no need for anything else
I like your videos🙂
The first New Mills service shows toothed belt changed.
You need to do a video on the Passat r36. A beast... looks good too..
