Buying The Worst Jetta GLI on Gods Green Earth 

When big Altima energy meets German Engineering.

I ordered the shirt, I'm ready for the install

Test drove a 2023 manual, I was very disappointed with the performance.

For a Jetta that that was in a massive collision, it looks great

I hear some bearded individual has an Mk7.5R powertrain ready to be swapped into this thing.

I would of called that seller out for lying and walked away from it

Please tell me you didn't pay the 3k asking price after he lied and wasted your time, the mileage and title lies are wild let alone just hiding damage in photos. What a scumbag

Only 148221 miles off. That's pretty close. I can't believe you bought this! 😅

I'm impressed that a EA888 Gen 2 with zero maintenance lasted over 200k without blowing up.

Air filter had me dead

R.I.P 200k Air Filter 🥲🥴🤣😂🤣😂

Red Flag #1: Undisclosed Damage. #2: Miles double what they had claimed. #3: NOOOT a Clean Title in Hand. Would have walked. Screw that guy that that lied like that.

As a GLI owner.... this is sad :(

Before covid and alternate reality $3k would buy a decent car. That car would have been 500 bucks!

The bit where Charles will come to your house an install the Shop DAP shirt lmaooo Paul is so funny. I just love how both of you come to my house and install all the things I buy. I save a fortune when it comes to labor.

Dear god that poor Jetta

that's one trash seller

hope you left him a bad review for lying on the sale.

Paul’s deadpan delivery is perfect. This video delivered all the way until the end.

People just odnt care avout their cars, i work in a tire shop, guy came in with a new VW passat, 23k miles. Only wanted to replace one tire and rotate it to the opposite side. 23k miles Damage to passenger side fender, suspension fucked cause tires were cupping and serverly uneven, rims acratched, rim getting new tire slightly bent. Other tires 4/32nds of tread remaining. Inside, clean as iff just off the lot. Outside, even without the fender damage, dirty AF.

Why do you do this to yourselves? Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but you guys might want to seek some counseling.

I laughed when you said it had 240k miles not 90k🤣🤣

That car is Meth'ed up.

If this doesn’t embody the whole of trying to buy any car on Facebook marketplace nowadays, then I don’t know what does. 😂😂😂

240k miles tbh is very good. Gives me hope for my mk7 gli But man. That poor gli. Why do people do this to cars? Hopefully it can become special

The dude who had that Jetta must be from Alabama. His parents are siblings and they dropped him one to many times on his head!

So when you went there and found no title and 243k miles did you pay the guy $500? I know this is for content, but being lied to like that would've had me walking away

Sooo, you got scammed and you can actually report this to the police?

Yeah I would told dude to kick rocks if I showed up to that… but I love that you can take these on or at least save someone else from making the mistake of buying this! Thanks Paul!

"What we've found is that it probably either needs a starter or an engine."

It’s also not a 2014. The rear tails are 2015+ and front bumper is 2016+

As a GLI owner of that same model that is NOT a 2014 GLI that is the 2016-18 yr model mk6.5 Jetta GLI I have the same model in tornado Red an absolutely beautiful car, fun to drive looks super clean and for a young driver it’s IMO one of the best cars you can get as a first car it comes fully loaded and has a baby turbo to get tho good highways speeds, plus with not to many mods it can be a better daily, depending on one’s tastes you can add a lot or a little to this car to make it your own one reason I will forever keep my GLI no matter what new cars come out as this is becoming a more rarer model to see as the years progress.

Should have walked. Weird.

As soon as I saw that it was a listing from Salisbury I knew it was gonna be a basket case. I'm shocked it doesn't have any bullet holes in it.

@13:51 😂 Love that you narrowed it down to just one or the other!

I've always wondered who is buying these horrifically misrepresented cars. If I were in that position, I'd light the seller up on the spot and not buy it. Only a few minutes into the video so sorry if it's already been answered -- how exactly did the in person sale process go when all these things came up? The not-title, the mileage, the extensive damage?

At least it wasn't a 13' MY GLI like mines where VW designed them to grenade the engines thanks to the faulting timing chain tensioner. Mofos charged me $1.4k just to get the car back on the road even though it should have been replaced under warranty. EDIT: Saw the ending. This has had the EXACT same issue as my 2013 GLI. The tensioners are faulty (I don't care if VW said they fixed them for 2014MY, they are liars) and should have been covered under warranty/ under a class action lawsuit. Not sure if VW covered 2014 MY under the class action law suit they settled, but yeah, these are fixable. The problem is, the valves and parts that have been damage are NOT sold separately and you must heavily disassemble the engine header (at least that's what the VW tech at the dealer that fixed mines told me). Huge pain in the ass job, and not worth the value of these cars. Fuck VW, but fuck that owner more. These are NOT difficult cars to take care of and he really abused this vehicle that deserved much better.

when he said the thing about buying cheap parts he is 100% right i bought an amazon oil pan for my 2013 gti and it leaked out of the drain plug welds horrendously

fun to watch, but not worth 3k in my book

People who own GLI's are always absolutely disgusting people. You shouldn't've given him what he was asking. He lied about half of it and you told him that it's okay if he does it when selling his next clapped out Altima. You are okay with taking those hits, but Grandma Gertrude would not be able to deal with what he lied about.

whoever previously owned it had enough money for some nice Rotiform wheels but after that had absolutely zero money left for ANY Maintenance apparently

Mk7.5R swap! GLI-R coming up

I absolutely love these videos, don't get me wrong. But the dude filming should probably not laugh all the time. Banter in front of the camera is great, just laughing while filming is distracting.

240K, a BS title, and body damage. Car: $500. Formerly owned by a scum bag: $2500 limited edition charge.

I dont understand how can one neglect such a nice car this much. It's like they treated it as a toddlers toy or something. I get the odd scratch or dent, but what the fuck happened here, a legally blind person was driving it?

Honestly it may be toxic, but I hate anyone and their car if they roll their fenders. Especially the ones who literally cannot drive over speed bumps. Either get a proper suspension setup, or buy bags.

I can sort of understand that you may think this makes for good content, but in a way, you are encouraging this scammer because despite all his lies and deceits, you still bought the car. So, why stop scamming.

I miss my MK6 2017 GLI 6speed. Lost her to a total loss accident after some kid rear ended. IMO they look superior to the MK7 but I know the engine is not as good.

I cannot wrap my head around how can a person with a somewhat functioning brain can bring a vehicle in this condition

Thanks for taking one for the team and buying this for amazing content instead of blasting the stupid owner :D. Amazing how people think lying will always work. I know we need idiots like that in the world, but damn. Ordering a shirt right meow to Charles can help me put it on, thanks!!

I like how you are advertising a spark plug socket on your site that is on backorder lol

Some real Big Altima Energy emanating from this GLI, dude. Incredible…

golf r powertrain swapped jetta??

Shocking that FB Marketplace didn't have a legit listing! Please tell me you knew all this before showing up? I would have driven 45 min just to give that guy a face five for such a shady listing. Paul's commentary is exactly how my inner monolog runs when I'm looking at cars like this. Hilarious!!

Did you buy it drunk at night ? just wondering as it looks like something I would do

Holy shit. Rest in peace 200k intake, truly a tortured soul bound for God's loving embrace.

Any car that can be abused for that long and potentially still run after some love will be impressive. If only my MK7 didn’t rip it self apart from a defective cam at 135K miles…

The guy who sold you that gli doesn't deserve a turbo car he needs to buy a honda civic lol. Poor gli 😢

MQB swap this PLEASE!

Whoever owned this car was clearly a very pathetic person... In all ways possible.

Tenho um no brasil com 122k rodados em perfeito funcionamento esse era cupin de ferro

Dang, dude. I can't believe you still bought it after all the BS from the seller. What a jerk.

What a shame, such a beautiful car for it to end up like this

A mechanic that is quite humble has a mint R powertrain waiting for a swap, might wanna look into it

The air filter in my vacuum looks better than that thing

I would’ve refused it and just got my money back

I hope you didn’t pay $3k for it.

Wow! I am sure they were getting a "Ton of Extra Power" with that "E-Z Breathe" Intake Air Filter.

VW Jetta... the Nissan Altima of Bavaria!

How dare he sell a piece of shit car like that to the master mechanic with a heart of gold

This car reminds me so much of my black MK4 but mine had a busted rear window because the fireman smashed it in due to a locked in baby 😅

From all the things the previous owner could have cheap out, he chose the air filter. What a nasty car!

5:05 someone's been carrying shrubberies in this trunk 😂😂😂

Whoever owned this vehicle previously, should never own a vehicle ever again. The amount of stupidness that has occured.

I need chaos in my life, so I'm hopelessly hooked on watching your videos. Paul is amazing host, and hilarious. And has forgotten more about cars than I know. I used to drive Skoda Superb with 1.8t, but switched to Aero Saab. But my girlfriend still drives Vw Polo which I maintain and fix everything myself.

Another great video of Paul just saying everything from everyone's unfiltered frustrated car brain.

That poor car

How can anyone possibly let their car get that bad ooof

That air filter should be in a museum, holy crap

"It probably needs a starter or an engine" hilarious

Why did you not walk away?

Great video, you guys are funny!

The CC you guys got last year is in that graveyard of POS cars 😊

Why did you still buy it?

I would love a video on the easiest way to rebuild this motor after jumping time. There are dozens of cheap cars with this exact issue kicking around here.

10:39 definitely a crazy good deal to have it professionally installed 😫🥵

I love your videos bro I hope you continue uploading more like this

10:34 - best line of the video, you’re welcome

Wow what fantastic content this will be… thanks for putting your sanity on the line for us viewers!

john snyder (TLCT Motorworks) in Hagerstown MD has $1000-$1500 mk6 motors

Absolutely #$%$ not. 😅

I’m hoping for a full AWD Golf R swapped into the Jetta 😅

That air filter was F U C K E D

@10:30 has me laughing so much, i have watched this part like 23 times now

This is the funniest video you guys have put out yet. I literally laughed out loud.

Some people should be barred from approaching any motor vehicle...well, except maybe in cuffs...

GLI owners VS GTI owners 😂

hmm it smells of stinky scams

This video saved me about $2,000 I had an oil leak on 2012 CC and took it to a AAA shop and they quoted me 2 grand to fix it. Watched this video because I was considering trading the CC in just buying a Jetta and lo and behold same leak same spot. Took the CC to a independent german only shop with all 5 star ratings and they confirmed. $79 fix

200k miles still impressive
