    You lot keep asking for some cheaper ‘bargain cars’ so I’ve got more bargain cars coming to the channel over the next few weeks. Also more 20 > 70 mph dragy times coming as well. Enjoy 👍

    I’ve got a 3.2V6 that I bought new and has 76,000 miles. The DSG packed up just before the 3 year warranty ran out but no probs since. You should have tried the ‘launch control’ and blown the other 1.8 away. The other big advantage with the 3.2 is that it complies with the London Mayor ULEZ, which few cars this old do.

    • @christopherpardell4418
      @christopherpardell4418 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Doing the launch control is probably what did in your DSG. Mine in the US didn’t come with that feature, and the DSG has been bulletproof for 130k miles.

    Just came across this channel, great video. I bought the wife (haha use myself too!) exactly the same, silver 04 plate 3.2 TT DSG 8 years ago at 115k miles, now done 152k miles, regular maintenance, and only issue we've had is fuel pump went after sitting. Great cars, great performance, still love it and hope to keep long term, but we'll see!

    Hi Calvin. You know I've owned some lovely cars in the last couple of years, V6 naturally aspirated, V8's supercharged, Jag, M2, VAG turbo's. Even had a Maserati with ZF auto for a short while. But I have to say the Mk2 TT TFSI 2.0 auto Quattro I've just bought is just a cracking little thing. I love it. Black Edition S-Line. Pretty quick, just over 5 secs. Lovely little tail that raises. Low ride, 19" black alloys no gap in the rear arch. Reminds me a lot of the 3.2 Cayman. I think its all the car you could ever want.

A lot of higher milage cars are open motorway miles anway..especially in top end cars..travelling businessman etc..sometimes. Maintainance and how they've been treated is crutial... Give me a higher milage car that's been respected with regular oil changes..filter changes etc...with regular fluid level checks..over a lower milage whip that's had a hard life anyday.. Some people freak over higher milage...it shows it's been appreciated.

    Great honest channel - loved the M3 vs AMG comparison & found it very helpful 👍🏻
    I have a question...
    If a person buys a CAT write off & insures/declares it as one & then has an accident at some point in the future & wishes to claim
    Would the insurance company pay out for repairs?
    Would they write it off (again) if damage was bad ?
    Or would they just pay out the original scrap value?
    Would the different CAT categories make a difference in this ?
    What would happen if the car is stolen ?
    I’ve never bought one myself as it all seems too complicated...
    Maybe you could do a vlog on this one day as you don’t seem to be bothered about buying them
    I reckon lots of people would like some honest enlightenment on this subject👍🏻
    All the best Calvin & good luck with the business bruv - subscribed
