I worked with a guy who scoffed at me buying part worn tyres. He said "I would never buy part worn tyres" I said "Have you ever bought a 2nd hand car?" He said "Yes". I said there you go then, you have bought part worn tyres."

I love the way Matt arrives at the vehicle- always parked in the same spot and then stays in his car, reversing back and forth, like scoping his prey. He daren’t get out until he’s checked ‘all is clear’ on Car Vertical, then he gingerly gets out to inspect it further. It’s like a modern day auto dealer version of a Stone Age hunter, stalking its prey…..😂

As a car dealer, not financially viable for you to do Matt, but for what you're asking for it, that's going to be a lot of car for a competent DIY'er, or someone who really wants a proper high end car and is not worried about it's final value.
We paid just over market value for our daily, and then spent almost the same getting it to the standard we wanted.
Never going to be worth anywhere near what we've spent on it, but we know we have a good reliable car

Every single video makes me want that specific vehicle no matter how much of a dog it is! I'm a total sucker for a rescue! 😌

Every time I hear "Jimmy the magician" I imagine a guy in a sharp suit with a hat, in a smokey office decked out in wood conducting "need to know basis" business above a snooker club!!

Uuuu that water leak at the back of the engine means engine out to fix it, back in the states at VW I did so many of these horrible v6, they are not horrible to work on if you have the VW engine removal table and specific tools for it but otherwise it will be a nightmare, they love to overheat and also the bolt on the oil pump sprocket backs out and comes out through the aluminum timing cover, in late 2007 engines that was revised but this early one still have that problem, whomever buys this thing buys a time bomb

It's mad that cars like this will only have a year or two of life due to excessive tax and low value. The government should be encouraging us to keep these cars on the road as the vast majority of their environmental damage has been done in it's manufacture. More cars like this on the road make more work for local non-franshised garages to do servicing and repairs too.
Well done HPA for keeping these cars going!

I was given one by a friend who was leaving the country. The engine was awesome and sounded great. The brakes were extremely variable and you could have lock or nothing or be fine, it made driving it very interesting. Also it was an automatic and the gear changes were again variable, it would either change up very early or very very late, and the suspension was dodgy. I sold it to my then boss and he got it sorted and loved it way past the time he made me redundant

I had the exact same car. Same year, spec, engine, etc but it was in silver. I nicknamed it "Chernobyl" because I had never seen so many warning lights in such a small amount of space. I traded it in for a suzuki grand vitara 2.4

Sign of the times when "Low road tax" is £395 a year for a 21 year old car, another example of a gov rip off. Lol.
Great content as always Matt 👍🏼

Disagree about the colour. It looks great in that deep Ruby red. Lovely motor this one!

Hi Matt, Welcome back. I missed you so much. - Your friend, the Wonder Grip Van

20:34 part worn tires of a decent brand are still much better than brand new Landsails.

My wife had a 2013 Touareg 3.0 petrol. Wasn’t the most reliable but the whole family absolutely loved it and it was also surprisingly capable offroad. When you love a car the repair bills don’t matter so much (just as well I now love my Range Rover really..)

[gordonagent]

Mate I bought a 2012 Touareg 3.0 V6 diesel to tow a 24’6” caravan around Australia for 2.5 years, awesome adventure. Never a problem and unbelievable mileage/fuel ratio. Only problems I’ve encountered were entertainment console sound loss(VW warranty) and sensor problems causing lack of ACC auto use. Ongoing problem, tech suggested it’s because of the high road temps we encounter here is beyond the design of sensors as designed for euro conditions. It’s a pain as maintenance on them is sublime. Apart from that, I will buy a later model when I think this one is done but for now it’s a fantastic unit, very impressed.

Just found your channel last week, and have binge watched all of your “I bought a cheap….” They’re great, I think I’m addicted. Wheeler Dealers is over, Mike Brewer who😂😂😂 Keep them coming Matt👊🏻

[robbiepalmer]

Another Landsail! GET IN! I had no idea so many cheap tyre brands existed before watching your videos Matt. Thank you, it’s been educational.

[kamata]

This is gorgeous color. Much better than the bland silver and black imho.

PS: Its the VR6. Just VW doing shenanigans in the early 00s. Same as the V5 badge, when its in fact a VR5.

[wowable]

Matt, don’t know if anyone else has commented this, at that mileage make sure the chain tensioners have been done. I have the same engine in a 2014 Superb. It is a massive job, that if it hasn’t been done it might not be worth keeping.

there's two buttons behind the steering wheel.
one is to turn on and off the lighting on the steering wheel, and the other is for the heated steering wheel.
