I took a loan out for this car because i couldn't be arsed saving. i was younger and thought "free money" was great. would i take a loan or get a credit card now....not a fuckin chance.
the reason this car costs a friggin fortune is because its shoddily built with crap components & it costs a fuckload in labour to fix anything on it. fuckin hell it took an hour to change the main fuckin beam because they put so much shite behind the fuckin casing for it.
Anyone recommends a Volkswagen to me again......i'll kick em in the man ****.
yeah a car for around £1,000 might need more work doing to it.....but i doubt it would cause me as many problems as this has.
Day 1.
picked up the car.........all the rear end was bashed in because the M.O.T retards that dropped it off decided to park it down a garden post.
Day 2.
picked it up after the damage was repaired.......got literally 30seconds from the guys house...opended the window....shoddy piece of plastic breaks in the window mechanism....
Day 3.
electric locking decides is LOOOOOOOOVES to dance... doesn't lock properly, all the doors don't lock or they lock then open straight back up again.
9 months after buying it.
more shoddy components cause the gearbox to die. rivots (instead of bolts...nice one nazis!) shot through my gearbox and fucked that up...£800 to repair, was off the road for 6 months because i was lookin for a garage that would charge me UNDER £1k to fix it.
17months after buying it.
glovebox broke....yep guess what....shitty plastic instead of something thats gonna fuckin last......well done VW. cunts
recently
passenger window broke (like the problem on day 2).....£76 for the new part to replace the plastic bit with a metal component (which should have been in there from the fuckin get go

)
clutch release bearing goes, taking the gearbox with it. £400 to fix it this time because i got someone my brother knows to do it.
so a car that cost me £3,700 in....2006 has cost me around £1,300 to fix over the 3 years

thats why i'm selling the pile of junk, because if i carried on using it WHEN something else goes wrong with it....i fear i'd snap and just right the fucker off
