This is a 1997 Volkswagen Golf the cheapest one in the country I paid only 250 Australian dollars and let’s just say it’s got some quirks one being it shares a lot with a Porsche that being it’s airod we’ll get into that later but this one is from 997

It’s a manual 1.8 some reason a car not sure about that as you expect with a $250 car it does have its quirks one Bang the fact it is air cooled now you can probably fill the temperature to your phone with this car because just driving

Here is getting quite hot but to be fair these are quite reliable engines and supposedly according to the dash it only has 62,000 km but realistically this is a good engine it’s a single cam carburated two valves per cylinder does the job connected to a five-speed manual and it

Is exactly as you see it this one the only issue is it’s got no water pump the previous owner sold it to me it was complete coincidence I didn’t even mean to buy the car I just sold the me’s if you guys know and here I have a third

Car so it was on the side of the street basically I went to look at it with a mate it was a mate selling it to a mate mate B didn’t want mate A’s car so I bought it for $250 Australian he didn’t want to go below $ 800 I didn’t want to

Go above 250 so he settled in the middle so I need a water pump simple fix it already comes with the water pump the front brakes are rooted as well again it comes with front brake pads and as far as I know that’s about it window has a

Bit of a crack in it but it actually goes quite well I own a 1992 Ford fairmon and the interior is quite nice I’ve also owned a 2002 Mazda the interior was quite this is a Volkswagen and I actually like the interior quite a lot enough that it

Makes me want to keep it I can’t lie I bought it with the intention of selling it right there but as you can see it’s got a radio which somehow works I’m not going to play that because my two cents I’m going to earn from this video will

Get demonetized it also has an AC which works works and the heater that doesn’t work cuzz it’s blocked off did that just do front and back at the same time oh no it didn’t no it didn’t oh no can you imagine that’s slightly too optimistic all right turn off please

Thing actually runs pretty well though like oh anyway it’s actually quite nice it’s a good space to be here this CS this feels like a metro train if you’re from Melbourne or Sydney or anywhere in Australia these seats remind me just of it the Comfort the stains even the

Pattern all like a metro train and I quite like it I think after a good clean this will come up pretty well the reason I don’t think it has 62,000 km though is if you look at the gear shift knob and the pedals both are quite both are quite

In rough condition same as a steering wheel it looks just a bit rough but everything else I think will clean up nicely 1997 car and the dash is immaculate you know you just don’t see him the back of the Volkswagen Golf this is actually a not bad interior I’m a 5’9

Male I believe that’s a relatively Fair height for a man and this is at my driving space this is exactly how I drive and there’s plenty of room this thing is an absolute box so if you get rear ended you’re going to really know about it the last

Thing going through the passenger’s mind is yours after you Collide heads but it’s $1 1999 baby no one gives a about safety we paid $250 it does the job it’s got the same pattern the interior and you know what I like it and look at this if you Misses

And you don’t have enough space as long as you a fat pig you can get it back here there’s a little hidden secret in there starts filming vertically I just bought this car yesterday I’ve probably spent a combined 1 hour in it I always thought you had to put the key in this

To unlock it I just learned something I’m just glad it stays open voila coming to the boot this is where the hidden surprises are water pump this was $130 pot front brake pads would you believe it this thing’s basically roadworthy if you know a guy

Let me know it’s got plenty of seips for all types of ship one being the timing belt which is quite an expensive job and it’s also got new tires 3 years ago which is new enough to me being the uh CL I don’t know what that stands for comy Comfort

Luxury looks pretty cool to me it’s obviously a hatch this is the Mark III the 1996 owned a Mark 6 some weird reason which I hope is not a fetish I kind of like this more than my Mark 6 looks pretty tough literally looks like

A box if you like boxes check out my Volvo video that was a box I like boxes down to the side of the car I don’t know if the Comfort luxury CL whatever brings you Alloys but there’s also drum brakes behind that so maybe don’t send it too

Hard especially cuz I have 2 Ms of a brake pad at the front that’s the next Buy’s problem do you want to buy this car 2 and half Grand or no but other than that it’s actually a fairly straight car I can’t believe how straight it is and the paint’s actually

Immaculate just uh don’t look up here or on that Bonnet I’m pretty happy with $250 you know I sold the master of 323 for $700 and if you guys saw that car it was mted another thing I like is this this but does usually use as Central locking

Oh it has Central locking I think it’s aftermarket when it works but I think that’s pretty cool as well it’s got everything you need I would have happily daed this thing if I didn’t just sell my Mazda for redro cost but at a 1.8 L engine four cylinder manual I actually

Think this would be quite a fun car especially with the Alloys it’s actually not a bad car I’d be guessing someone actually really looked after this because 1997 cheap cars like this usually covered in Trolley Banks someone sent it you know something doesn’t work or whatever but this one is actually

Extremely clean and a CL of makes me want to put it on the road and do the water pump so if this video gets enough interest I will do the water pump but for now I think this is a perfect car to clean up wet vacuum interior clean the

Exterior maybe I’ll respray this Bonnet as well as the paint is kind of faded but you know what I think it’s a very honest car you start at $250 car first step put your foot off the brake congratulations you’re driving it’s like a Porsche if you want to drive this for

More than 10 minutes good luck because it will overheat please buy my Car okay driving the golf Mark II and what a little thing this is I love it you know it only makes 63 Kow a top P it only makes 63 Kil and probably 100 m of torque but it goes totally fine like it must be the mour

Drivers but but for what it is you know in fourth gear you’re just going put your foot down a bit roll into it runs just fine like I don’t really have an issue with it it even handles okay cuz it weighs nothing I think these weigh like almost sub 1,000 kilos so that’s

The reason with 62 KW it’s totally fine and if you want something economical know further like this is literally a German you know Toyota crawler like it’s a 1996 it’s a hatch it really does just get the job done and this manual like you know it doesn’t

Feel great but you know almost 30 years later every gear is tight goes into reverse just fine like this one’s a carburetor too and I started it this morning and it was a very cold day first turnover started right up no drummer at all and because it weighs so little you

Know it actually gets really good F on of me this just being a 1.8 L it’s more than enough single cam carburetor you’re really going back to the basics with this car and I think it has a lot of Personality surprisingly like this little thing you know just it goes all

Right and you know down to second gear a bit of heel toe around this tie Corner get on it a bit it actually goes quite all right like very surprisingly well as that I’m in a narrow Street here and this is the benefits of a little hatch like this you know it might not have any reverse sensors but you’re liking a little P so easy to see just

Look at the window into reverse into first you know easy to drive getting on it a bit it’s really hard to break the lore in this little thing let me tell you 62 k on it around the Corner what a fun little car it’s on 70k an hour absolutely cruising B absolutely loves it I love this little thing it’s like it’s just a true nugget let me tell you you know absolute true nugget the manual Gbox feels really good it’s got a cable

Clutch as well but such a light clutch doesn’t have much to pull you know piece piss like this really just goes back to like that classic feeling you know if you jump in and Marx and go after this just Worlds Apart that’s what I’ll say Worlds

Apart you know this is a great Around Town Car a great first car it’s got the radio godson AC remind me of a German Mazda 323 and they’re about the same price like I paid $250 for this car but you know obviously it’s not worth that

Little and for like say 2 Grand you could buy one of these maybe three I think you’re getting a hell of a lot of car for that price and they’re really economical to own you know they’re so cheap on fuel and like you can work on them yourself

Everything’s going to work only thing is being a German car you know things do break but this has manual windows manual mirrors it’s even a manual there’s not much to go wrong electrically which is supposedly what always goes wrong this thing only has one Center airbag as

Well so there really just isn’t much to go wrong and it makes it easy to work on and they’re at Absolute Peak depreciation as well LS3 right there VF LS3 that thing would just all over this his injectors are probably worth more than this car but yeah I love this little

Thing you know very reliable quick short drive today cuz there’s no water pump I’ve been driving for probably 20 minutes and we’re now over just now slightly overheating you know if you enjoy this stuff let me know what you want me to see or what to do and if you

Want me to continue uploading videos on this car because I really enjoy working on these old nuggets I love it I absolutely love
