[@minimoto99]

My guess, driving it unfit (you decide on how) invalidated any insurance. Someone they know bought it off them to repair, had a few five-finger discount parts available already, realised the other parts were too expensive/on back order, cut their losses after quick bodge and flung through copart. You got lucky that it wasn't worse accident damage.

I also think your headlight on its own with no electrics will be at least 2.5k, add electrics you'll be 3.5k. Genuine windscreen you'll be at least 900 including fitting. Plastics you'll be about 400. New bonnet hinges maybe 300. New bonnet and wing?? Paint will set you back 12-1400 coz that bumper looks a totally different blue.

I was a professional panel beater for 30 years and seen all the tricks they get up to😅 I always examined a vehicle in person, one car I went to buy was hit in the o/s/f and didn’t look too bad, that is until I saw the kink in the roof above the b pillar, The slimy fits had only chained it to a post and reversed it back to yank out the worst of the chassis damage to “make it look better “ than it was🙄 I told them “you’ve ruined that f**king car by doing that!!!, I told them any professional beater will see it a mile off!!

[@icereturns7867]

The car was never insured in the first place. Once they crashed it, they bodged it up and traded it in, likely through something on line, like Carwow. The receiving dealer, once they realised the extent of the damage just dumped it on Copart.

I wonder if it was a demo car and a person from the dealership crashed it, and they just wanted rid of it quick.

[@icereturns7867]

Even cars that probably ought to be written off they just put it in their own body shop and get it fixed internally.

Definitely check the airbags and seatbelt on the drivers side. If they are ok it was probably hit when parked up. It’s only just a year old with the V5C issued when first registered. I suspect there’s more damage than meets the eye. Parts. Will be around £3900

[@tomn.1568]

I wouldn't touch this car with a 10 feet pole. 2500 quid won't get you anywhere unless you spend a lot of time finding good salvage part. It needs the cowling and the windscreen which you did not mention but that are obviously busted. Since you will need to redo the paintwork, I'd buy new salvage body parts as well. Those TangtongLingLong parts are made of thinner, lesser quality steel and will rust a lot quicker. But I'm looking forward to see you getting her restored to her former glory. Please do check all ECUs to double check the vehicle identity. Tires seem a bit worse for wear for 5k miles!

[@mrkiplingreallywasanexceed8311]

Clearly the thing has been absolutely thrashed from day 1 which hurts my feelings.... Just the thought of some jailbait yobbo driving that car would be too painful, all those max revs take offs from cold and I bet it stinks of fags and/or weed.

Really think you should be replacing the wing with genuine "even" if its salvage part...maybe consider a replacement undamaged bonnet ??

I replaced my Audi wing with a painted cheap Chinese eBay special. 1000% better than what I took off, but no surprise it started to rust after a year, even after I spent time rustproofing the interior side before installing it. Looks more or less the same as the one it replaced now.

What happened to the original battery? Has the engine / gearbox moved in the collision causing damage to the battery and the surrounding area? It is always a worry picking up where someone else has run away from. I would be checking further back on the subframe this might be the reason why the steering sensor won’t reset.

[@adampyro834]

love the colour. seems a weird one that you can easily make money on as long as its not been tampered with and still to show its real issues, but i think thats unlikely. its just not been looked after right and they gave up on it after a slight bump. very strange but ive heard of this happening, lack of knowledge maybe. maybe didnt want their insurance to go up so they have hidden it. who knows but potential is there for profit. good luck with it

[@johnjohn8836]

Personally I wouldn’t be cutting the inner wing or would I be fitting pattern parts back on it. Also it doesn’t look like a 5k mile car there is more to this than you think in my opinion from that engine bay.

I gave up on stuff like this from Copart long ago! Give me something that's not been messed with rather than guess whats been disguised. I can deal with bent!There is corrosion, on lots of the electrics, under bonnet is filthy, and why is a year old battery screwed? Tyres look over worn for 5k miles. Why didn't it pop the airbags? Or did it and they are resistered? Perfect example of a Copart f5cked about with special! Exactly why NEVER to buy anything from them imho!) Hope it works out for you Dean and if anyone can make it right its you!

[@eddominiczak669]

Steering angle sensor basic setting should be done stationary. all the way left and hold, then all the way right and hold then back to the centre. There’s an ongoing TPI for all VW models with ACC/travel assist and it is the steering wheel at fault so you may find that is an issue when other issues are sorted.

[@andrewkidger7048]

Got a feeling there might be more to come yet with this, hopefully not but for what you paid seems very cheap, great vid tho, looking forward to the rebuild, you need to go over this with a fine tooth comb, well done Dean.

[@dougle03]

Could be a company car bought for cash, but most company insurance policies have huge upfront excess values, thus sometimes it's easier/cheaper to bodge a cosmetic repair and push it through an auction, than to make an insurance claim where much of the claim value would be swallowed up by the excess, and what's left is not worth the hike in premiums... Might also explain why the vehicle does not have outstanding finance issues...

[@mogeshanchetty8060]

Great video mate. Can't wait for the next one. 👍

[@thomasfrancis5747]

Suspect no insurance company involved post accident since not recorded. Not happy with pattern wing on a car this new - better to go for good used original parts if you can find them. Recommend a good close look at the rest of the car - the replacement battery (on a car this new) and corroded terminals also suggest a story. Might even be worth a discrete chat with Plod.

I bought a 2021 diesel clio from copart, as usual copart did not viewing, it had very minor panel damage, but it was the damage from a previous crash that was the problem, it must of had a side impactwhere the sill and B post were pushed in, to pull it out they sliced one metre of the floor, then to fill the floor gap a piece of tin was stuck on and sprayed with underseal. Instead of fixing it I broke it. I now buy elsewhere, viewing is not a problem and they are very quick to help with any problems found, which is very rare. and best of all fees are very reasonable.

Great video as usual. Strange one, doesn't make much sense other than (what others have said) insurance didn't pay out due invalidated insurance?

The amount of corrosion is excessive for the vehicle's age. We see that a lot where I live and it's due to salt air corrosion. If anything else you find is due to corrosion, it'll be everywhere. This tends not to be much of a problem if you're 4 or more streets from the ocean. It also affects the external HVAC units, solar panels - pretty much anything iron or steel. The flipside is that we have uninterrupted beach/ocean views and a 50 metre walk to be in the water. I wish you well with fixing it up.

Agree with others. Check the airbags! There is definitely a large amount of BOJ going on there. As for parts. Forget the pattern part, no matter how good it fits. It’s a year old car, get genuine used. Would definitely advise ensuring that it is 100% straight. You can’t tell the miles from the tyres.. you don’t know how the cars been driven to make them like that. I would agree with others, it’s definitely a strange one and possibly (Not wishing to cast aspersions lol) some kind of uninsured or under the influence of something. Would be interesting to k ow of it was privately owned or company owned though? As for Coparts evaluations forget it… I bought a car that was sold as an auto and it was a Manual… coparts response to my complaint was “our staff are not mechanically trained” do it right and it will be a lovely car and well worth what you paid.

[@wilsjane]

That damage to the nearside rear of the bonnet set the alarm bells off for me. The offside area of bonnet may contain a lot of filler, slapped on over cracked paint and rust. VW rust resistance is very good, but once it is compromised it is useless. A repair to factory spec could eat a lot of money.

[@mjrams]

⁠@@wilsjaneTotally agree, thought I could see rust there already. With paintwork that shabby the imperfections below can almost become more hidden.

[@wilsjane]

@@mjrams With the bodywork in that state, you also have to ask yourself about the rest of the car and whether the mechanics had been thrashed and incorrect cheap oils used. VW cars last for years if treated correctly, so an older well maintained car would be better value for money. My last 3 golf TDI's each covered around 250,000 miles and almost 20 years with no major problems. The one I drove managed 285,000 on it's original clutch, despite a lot of driving in London traffic. Having the older AHU engine, I went to full clutch before touching the throttle. Needless to say, I owned it from new.

[@darreng745]

ACC on a VW requires dealer level support as you need the grid screen to which the sensors are aligned and the laptop to do it, but one thing I would say if the bumper is a bad fit then the parking sensors or the radar unit behind the VW badge can also effect that because a straight bumper replacement on the vehicle without being adapted will throw that error up. That vehicle is a bodge job and sold on, the funny thing is that if HPI have no data for it as a crash victim then the owner paid for that work ( accounts for the poor quality ) and they then shoved it out in to the trade to recoup their losses on it.

[@PoliceMadJamie]

Usually if it’s too good to be true , still think you’ll come out on top on this one because of the labour costs…. Imagine getting it fixed at VW garage then you’d be really scammed.. interesting to see what you do with it when you have it looking brand new.

[@tonycole6877]

First thoughts were water damage and it had been driven through a deep ford or the like? Also don't forget the cost of the Radar for cruise control resetting (dealer only fix l think) ? VW wanted to charge me Near on £600 for it doing on my Mk 7 Golf R said l wasn't happy at being a guinea pig as the Radar module had been moved up to the VW nose badge on newer models of the golf from below the bumper on my model ended up paying about £130 in the end

This looks like a Bradford/ Birmingham special

Innit

[@999hireactionvehicles9]

200 per cent

[@craigholdsworth4631]

Just thinking out loud but is the light not working because you have steering in full left lock and that's the side that's working, will it come on if your steering is in straight ahead position 🤔

[@jamiewood4626]

You’ll get it back to its best ! Also got my tickets for the r32 🤞🏻

[@leonleese4919]

Just how much would the Labour cost add up to and what was the total cost of parts. Also what is the car worth after the work has been done?. To bottom book but what would you appraise the value in an audit. (I used to sell cars for a For d main dealer in the 1960s and 70’s)

I’m guessing it was a winter registered car looking at corrosion, anomaly with insurance, likely purchased on a monthly instalment plan and paid no more after first instalment, car has been ragged around and crashed, bodged up repair and car was px’d at a great loss. Likely been sitting around in a compound for six months or so!

[@ianelliott229]

It’s easy to see where the bonnet trailing edge has hit the screen in the collision. Didn’t you notice? I’d also be suspicious about suspension damage - get the wheel off.

[@andybrooks7908]

I think youve done alright there for the money youve paid , should make a nice motor when its finished give it a stage 1 re map for good measure and it won't be far off 400bhp , great video buddy

[@miskatonic6210]

You're so naive...

[@matthewowen7969]

Looks like there’s part of the inner wing missing. Shouldn’t it join up with the slam panel? Something doesn’t look right about that car? How many owners has it had?

[@fatwalletboy2]

I do wonder before some cars get into co part if the middle man has a car of similar age colour spec etc that he fancies taking some of the better condition parts off the traded in car fits them to his "keeper" or retail car then sacks all the damaged or poor quality bits off onto the co part car to get rid and cover his tracks...... I still think if thats the only damage you uncover then 19k aint too bad.id say put 6 to 7k into the repairs but depends if you cut that front support as you said or undo and replace the whole piece. Then youre into lots more cash. Be ibteresting to see the underside........whip her up on the 2 poster.agree with others its too new to cheap out and not buy genuine vw parts like the wing and youll feel better for it. Check for filler in the bonnet too

[@Funky_Geek]

Maybe it was a lease care someone crashed and had fixed on the QT. Weird that it looks like it been painted then later had other external damage?

[@daverickards7647]

I might be wrong , but take a measurement from the nearside Rim to the offside rim . The offside strut doesn't look true . Love your channel mate .Dave in Gloucester .

[@Dan-cc8id]

do they still use the same g85 sensor like the golf 5 for steering wheel?

[@Nicknofish]

Tyres seems pretty knacked for the mileage! Best of luck. Cheers.

[@reaper0374]

Thought exactly the same. It's either had a pretty hard life, or the 5k isn't right.

[@assuredroofing7686]

I thought that 🤔

[@Ash_7r]

I was thinking this also! They’ve done well to burn through those in 5K check the gearbox for mileage info!

[@tjardokiewiet9115]

car been living on the rev limiter since factory lol

[@mohitl1697]

prob had mileage blocker@@Ash_7r

[@antonoat]

I can’t believe you said the engine sounds fine when you started it!!! Personally I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole, there’s no way I’d buy or sell a car whose history is complete guess work. There are lots of water damaged cars out there, faults can take some time to make themselves evident and can be a headache for the rest of the cars life! 😮😮😮

[@user-dv7pk7fs4j]

ha ha,sounded like a diesel

[@craigholdsworth4631]

Ps get a nice 2nd hand wing and put it back to how it all should be, such a nice new car to bodge up😢 or a insurance approved one 👍

[@n62bv]

I spent thirty years as a buyer for auto dealerships and can tell you vehicles with salvage/total loss history are NOT worth trade value. The banks won't loan on a vehicle like this. This VW fixed properly is worth what you paid for it on a GOOD day! $12k should've been your max bid.
