Love your optimistic outlook with cheap cars . These type of videos are my favourite .keep searching hopefully you will pick a winner soon

[@baronvonjo1929]

It's so hard to have a optimistic outlook on cars priced like this in the US. A car that costs 900 dollars would be damaged or need severe repairs or be 20 years old with 200k miles. Folks of the UK are extremely lucky to have such a huge throw away car culture where cars only a few years old are worth nothing. At least nothing compared to prices charged here in the states. I just pulled up prices for MK 6 golf's here in the US. Didn't look long but they are worth about 8k and up. For similar mileage too.

[@Afraz_9n3]

​@@baronvonjo1929tbf US cars are a lot more well specced in terms of features than our cars. For example the mk6 golf in the US as far as I know all have larger engines, AC as standard, slightly nicer seats, electric windows, alloy wheels etc. and from what I've heard from my American friend German manufacturers are seen as premium there. Meanwhile in the UK you can get a mk6 golf with no front fog lights, steel wheels with hubcap, no AC a 1.2L 3 cylinder with a whopping 90hp, manual windows etc just a really basic model. We have half the stuff on our base models than yours and as a result they cost half the price it makes sense when you think about it

[@baronvonjo1929]

@@Afraz_9n3 But looking at this model it seems to have just about all of that. Same thing with many cars on the channel. Higher prices for cars in the US is the same for every car and every brand. When he shows a car we have here and describes it they all seem relatively similar. This car in particular seems to be well spec and very similar to what we would have here. Yes German cars are seen as premium. But not VW. I think that's something Europeans might struggle to wrap their head around as it seems it held in very high regards over there. Here VW tried to be more premium in the 2000s but it never worked. They have since lowered quality a lot and still are seen as the same or lower as Toyota and Honda. Even Kia and Hyundai who came to the US after them do significantly better than VW. Plus all German cars depreciate like a rock here because they have very poor reputations for long term reliability. My point is I don't think it's the increase of options or the perception of premium branding that keeps prices high. I think we have higher prices just in general. One thing to note is the used car market in the US is huge. We need are cars for basic survival here. Many jobs will not hire you if you don't have "reliable transportation" checked off. I think because so many people need used cars because they can't afford new cars it keeps prices high. It seems many folks in Europe have other options if they really didn't want cars. Many certainly do. But it's not a requirement for a lot of folks is my perception. Idk. Maybe something entirely different. Apologies for the long comment.

[@Afraz_9n3]

@@baronvonjo1929 yh no definitely the car market in the US and Europe is far more expensive than the UK. Actually in Europe prices are equivalent to the US for most cars. In the UK we see German cars as normal but also mostly reliable, mainly because we get the smaller more reliable less complicated engines that the US doesn't (although as Matt mentioned in this video sometimes the small engines like this 1.4 tsi are just as bad on reliability 😂). And so they actually command a premium over similar cars but also because they were more expensive when new. For example a 15 year old BMW 3 series is anywhere between 4 - 8k although you can get one with high miles and some issues for 1 - 3k. While a vauxhall insignia (badged as a Buick regal? In the US) is 1 - 3k and tops at 5k The used market in the UK is also pretty big most people drive used cars and also need cars because most places outside London have terrible public transport or just unreliable public transport or it's just more cost efficient to drive. But people here see cars over 100k miles as ready for the scrapyard and will not consider cars they think are "high mileage" or "bad quality". So cars over 100k miles and cars from manufacturers like the french for example are not desirable to a lot of people. This is changing but it's one of the main reasons why our cars are so cheap. Add to that UK cars don't really have a export market and a lot of cars rust or are neglected (not serviced, run on a shoestring type thing) and those are the other reasons why we have some of the cheapest cars in the world I think.

[@markmundy3435]

My old gran (God rest her) always said there is no such thing as cheap, its that price for a reason, you just get lucky sometimes with something being under priced.

[@brucewatt1032]

If you bought a decent second hand car that was great value for money, then there would be no value in watching your entertaining videos, and you probably wouldn't have such a successful and entertaining channel. I urge you to keep buying these suspect vehicles, because I really enjoy your down-to-earth commentary on these 'massively over-spent' cars and more importantly, I'm sure it helps people like me make more intelligent reviews of cars we're thinking of buying - it's a win-win for everyone! Of course, your odd, ridiculously amazing purchase every now and again, helps us all believe we might also make that 'lucky' find.

Sonder make bikes, so I suspect it has been used as a bike car, and the tow bar was used for carrying mountain bikes/gravel bikes. Not necessarily for towing. But yes, I think you made the right call. I wouldn't touch a vag car with that crap 1.4 engine 😂

Good video ! You show good or bad cars but it’s life in the used car market 😊

“I’m not Ed China” 😂. And Sonder is a gravel bike brand so, as it was car of a swimmer and gravel biker (and probably therefore a runner), that explains the sweat pong 😮

I do like the leather colour on your Rangie....

I would've just put all second hand parts and send it off. The P0016 could mean a few things and most likely a sensor or cam adjuster valve. Cause if it was the timing chain i think the valves would hit pistons in which the car would not have drove when it did. I believe those cars are interference engines

Das Auto for you - legendary VW build quality on show! Got to love these German money pits :D

What a CD to find, sounds like my kind of CD. Shame you couldn't do the work and turn it into a courtesy car. Maybe worth selling as spares and repairs, something I would have owned till the end of its life, as I couldn't afford to repair it. Great Video and content.

Oh Matt, you massive lord snooty you in your L322 with lovely green interior!! You need a top hat 🎩 and a monocle

[@kellyjbrian]

Legend, thanks man. Love the videos!

Sonder = cycling brand. The towbar may have only had a bike rack on. Still a lot on the rear shocks.

Ideal car for the DIY enthusiast. £2k in repairs and then a few years motoring. As with all car repairs, the labour costs make it unviable.

Matt I’d love to know where you get a fresh set o’plates for £15 - cheapest I can find is £30 for a pair! 😊
