Cant wait for the 0£ car challenge. "Hello mate i have a really tight budget, could you do "no money at all" if i come and pick it up right now?" - Alex
I did that once for a trashed Mk2 Golf. Basically gave it away for the money that the full tank of gas was worth. Didn't have a garage and couldn't be bothered with it at the time. So, yeah. It is perfectly possible.
That's the case in every country. People usually associate high mileage with cheapness so they stop caring about the car and just trash it around before selling it off and buying a new suv today.
I have a golf mk 2 with a 1.9 TDI 180 hp and its got 462k miles. I dont have any problems with it for now and lets hope it stays like that for a long time.
I'd actually love to see a resto series on this car. Like, if it's in the surprisingly good condition that it's in, a resto on it would be fantastic. Keep it going for another 500,000 miles.

Literally the best £200 car in existence! That thing is amazing!! Those 1.9L VAG Turbodiesels are truly indestructible if you care for them. Put another clutch in that thing when the clutch goes and I'd bet you could drive it another 500K miles.

@@simaothekid Yes they're both VAG cars on the same platform even. But the Audi is much higher class than the Skoda. The engines are completely different, Transverse 16v na diesel vs Longitudinal 20v 1.9 turbo diesel That alone is worth seeing the changes

@Hallison Michel also worth remembering our weather so cars rust and rot like crazy. So expensive repairs involving the chassis etc are extremely common.

In my opinion it would be good for every driver to know the blindspot’s a lorry has. It would prevent a lot of accidents. I think it should be mandatory on the drivers test. If you want to learn the blindspots you can take a seat in a lorry and see for yourself. I highly advise. 👍🏻

A couple of years back, a friend of mine bought a second hand 1994 Volkswagen Passat B4 1,9 TD (66 kW) with over 640.000 km (400.000 miles) on the clock. Today, the car is still working just fine (the clutch has been replaced, but it has original turbo and original gearbox) and it has recently surpassed 820.000 km (ca. 510.000 miles).
I've got a 2002 VW Passat GLX Estate. Its got the 2.8 30V V6 a 5spd manual gearbox, and i use it every day. I've had it a little over a year and a couple weeks ago it rolled over 250,000. Original engine and trans, someone put a nice set of black Audi 17 inch wheels on it. When I bought it the check engine light was on, and i talked the guy down nearly $600 from his asking price. Kelly Blue Book says that my car is worth exactly nothing basically, so I overpaid for it. Turns out the check engine light was a vacuum leak. It burns just a tiny amount of oil, maybe a quart every month or so. And I drive a lot actually. Round trip to work for me is almost 150 miles. Runs great, shifts great, clutch feels awesome. Feels like it could easily do another quarter of a million. Love it.
This absolutely made my day, i've also got an A4 B6, 1.9 tdi, amazing how good service and condition can do to a car. I really hope you're doing a series about this car.
I bought a tired 02 gttdi 130 golf two years ago. Tidied it up and drove it for a year, sold it 8 months ago when it was very tidy. 220000 on the clock. I bought it back two months ago (wrecked). Broken back axle collapsed front suspension and absolutely filthy. Two weeks solid work and a second hand axle and TT front end and it's back in good shape again. 230000 on it now.
The fact the lorry driver said he "couldnt see him" is outrageous, there is a front blindspot mirror on most trucks to see Directly infront of them which he seemed to have. He must of had just too much fun pushing Jack along.
From USA, i have had a 2005 Ford Focus ST 2.3 manual non turbo...bought it June 2013 with 119k miles and currently still rocking it with 194k miles with minor fixes....

I’ve got a Mercedes-Benz w212 with the famous OM651. Literally one of the best cars ever made. And it’s got 976.000 kilometers on the clock. Surpassing the million soon🇩🇪❤️
I love these challenges. I would love to see lengthier ones. Including when you travel around and abroad. You should spent some money on the Audi, get the Golf fixed up and get them to compete.
The Airbag Sign, is probably something to do with the wiring underneath the seats, The Audi a3 and a4 used to have this problem, hell, my parents A3 has that problem. That aside, what a video guys, this was terrific! (PS: still can't believe you've got this car for only 200 pounds, I know it has nearly a Million KMs ( 871k. KM) but in Portugal something with 692 thousand KM, will still sell for 2.650€ , it's completely insane )
I’ve owned two Honda’s and I’m on my third and the last two had 470 000 miles and 510 000 miles and I can’t wait to put that many on my new Honda Pilot!
Honda's are great cars. I had a 2001 Accord with over 200.000Miles on LPG. All this, with everyone shouting at me, telling me that Honda engines cannot deal with LPG.. I guess they are wrong. In the end i had to sell the car when i got a new job and didn't need the car anymore. Here in the Netherlands owning a car is not cheap, especially if it's not a petrol car. So when you come to the point you don't have to drive that many miles anymore, you want to get rid of that specific car and buy back something on petrol. Currently drive a 2003 Focus that had cost me only 350 euro. Somethings did need doing, but i have now spent a total of 600 euro (including the purchase) and 1,5 year on it still drives pretty good.
DestructionNL good for you! I bought a Toyota 4Runner once and only had it for 2 years because it was so bad on gas and the transmission oddly enough was acting up so I switched back to Honda’s. They are the best cars without a doubt that you can buy😂

The new series could be the High Mileage King! I would love to see what you guys do with it
I've got a 2002 VW Passat GLX Estate. Its got the 2.8 30V V6 a 5spd manual gearbox, and i use it every day. I've had it a little over a year and a couple weeks ago it rolled over 250,000. Original engine and trans, someone put a nice set of black Audi 17 inch wheels on it. When I bought it the check engine light was on, and i talked the guy down nearly $600 from his asking price. Kelly Blue Book says that my car is worth exactly nothing basically, so I overpaid for it. Turns out the check engine light was a vacuum leak. It burns just a tiny amount of oil, maybe a quart every month or so. And I drive a lot actually. Round trip to work for me is almost 150 miles. Runs great, shifts great, clutch feels awesome. Feels like it could easily do another quarter of a million. Love it.

This absolutely made my day, i've also got an A4 B6, 1.9 tdi, amazing how good service and condition can do to a car. I really hope you're doing a series about this car.
1.9 pd engine, one of the best vw group engines ever made
I bought a tired 02 gttdi 130 golf two years ago. Tidied it up and drove it for a year, sold it 8 months ago when it was very tidy. 220000 on the clock. I bought it back two months ago (wrecked). Broken back axle collapsed front suspension and absolutely filthy. Two weeks solid work and a second hand axle and TT front end and it's back in good shape again. 230000 on it now.
Lmao I was literally looking at that blue micra the other day for a mate and then it pops up on here 😂
"Estate"
"It is a state, you're right"
ha
The fact the lorry driver said he "couldnt see him" is outrageous, there is a front blindspot mirror on most trucks to see Directly infront of them which he seemed to have. He must of had just too much fun pushing Jack along.
The lorry driver was too busy changing gears and murdering prostitutes.
Lorry drivers have more blind spots than visible spots.
From USA, i have had a 2005 Ford Focus ST 2.3 manual non turbo...bought it June 2013 with 119k miles and currently still rocking it with 194k miles with minor fixes....
New high milage hero potential?
YES!
I'd love to see it getting restored to original+ just like miles was!
“I’ve had enough of going sideways” I wondered why I laughed way harder than the other two, then I realized he’s probably been saying that nonstop. The joke rather looses its luster after the 80th or 90th time, aye?
This channel has really upped it's game in the last few months, superb!
10:30 Bro when they looked at the polo and the guy said its got a bit of mold, then I heard Alex say 'I LOVE MOLD!' that had me wheezing
Honestly a true testament to the 1.9 tdi engine
I had one in a 2001 seat leon. Nearly 300000 miles later, the body was shot, but that engine was perfect
@@barryjames3747 yeah my mum had a golf gt tdi. Locks were fucked no radio no thermostat. Did about 250000 before it was sold on
The car falls apart around the engine but the engine is not going to fail. Its not the only 1.9 TDI to hit 500,000 miles.
@@gravemind6536 a friend of mine has an Ibiza 6L with the 1.9 TDI PD and 800.000 km (500.000 miles) on the clock. Car is falling apart, but the engine still goes strong. I personally own a Fabia with the very same engine and 187.000 km. Great piece of german engineering the 1.9 tdi is
Back when VW made really good cars. My nan has a passat from the same year, 1.9 tdi 250000 km. Works perfectly fine
The engines are great but the clutch is the bad thing in passats and a4's, golf's clutch is way more durable even in bad condition
Not only the clutch, front suspension can make problems too.
Toate 1.9tdi din generatia aia de vreo 15 ani incoace au sub 300.000km =))
An Audi with 540.000 miles
Scotty Kilmer: Am I a joke to you?
Scotty Kilmer is a joke to anyone with more car knowledge than a 5 year old girl.
@@ferrumignis He's not trying to be a car guy for car guys. He is just trying to give advice to the average person. The only people who don't like him are those who don't get what he's doing or butthurt fanboys of the brands he rightfully trashes.
@@Tree.fiddy. He is a dangerously incompetent idiot with a massive chip on his shoulder about European cars. He deserves to be treated as the joke he is.
Right? All my 7 Audis have a total of 2.8 million km on them and all have their original gearbox, engine and turbos.
@@GERntleMAN to be fair it's a Diesel with a Manual he doesn't have a problem with. he said it about gasoline models and since most in the United States are automatics I have to agree with him.
My first car is a 300,000 mile 2011 Audi A4 and it drives like a beauty. Done a oil change , few filters and exhaust clamps but apart from that its in wonderful condition. I picked it up for £2000
Nothing beats a notification saying car throttle has uploaded a new video. Thanks for the brilliant content, top gears replacement ;)
That’s a decent car for 541,000 MILE AUDI!
Please, give us high mileage hero series II!
I’ve got a Mercedes-Benz w212 with the famous OM651. Literally one of the best cars ever made. And it’s got 976.000 kilometers on the clock. Surpassing the million soon🇩🇪❤️
I love these challenges. I would love to see lengthier ones. Including when you travel around and abroad. You should spent some money on the Audi, get the Golf fixed up and get them to compete.
Please keep it even after you repaired the GTi . I mean you just made me start looking for B 6th A4s and wanting one badly.
This car is a classic, and everything is original: the paint, the oil, the tyres!
4:11 - They missed Jacks joke lol
9:40 Nice Mike Brewer impersonation there 😂😂😂😂
So when's the Ellie Goulding X Car Throttle episode gonna be out? Since she was first on scene to Jack's accident!
Already out
@@aaronlfcynwa2951 what
The Airbag Sign, is probably something to do with the wiring underneath the seats, The Audi a3 and a4 used to have this problem, hell, my parents A3 has that problem.
That aside, what a video guys, this was terrific!
(PS: still can't believe you've got this car for only 200 pounds, I know it has nearly a Million KMs ( 871k. KM) but in Portugal something with 692 thousand KM, will still sell for 2.650€ , it's completely insane )
ive been seeing that jazz whenever i look for a cheap car, been on there for months
I’ve owned two Honda’s and I’m on my third and the last two had 470 000 miles and 510 000 miles and I can’t wait to put that many on my new Honda Pilot!
Honda's are great cars. I had a 2001 Accord with over 200.000Miles on LPG. All this, with everyone shouting at me, telling me that Honda engines cannot deal with LPG.. I guess they are wrong. In the end i had to sell the car when i got a new job and didn't need the car anymore. Here in the Netherlands owning a car is not cheap, especially if it's not a petrol car. So when you come to the point you don't have to drive that many miles anymore, you want to get rid of that specific car and buy back something on petrol. Currently drive a 2003 Focus that had cost me only 350 euro. Somethings did need doing, but i have now spent a total of 600 euro (including the purchase) and 1,5 year on it still drives pretty good.
DestructionNL good for you! I bought a Toyota 4Runner once and only had it for 2 years because it was so bad on gas and the transmission oddly enough was acting up so I switched back to Honda’s. They are the best cars without a doubt that you can buy😂
Never clicked so quick in my life!!!!
Alex: "What's the plural for jazz"
*Jack: "Jizz"*

Drive safe and God bless!
One of my mates has a 98’ Honda Accord Type R running on 1.2M km and still runs like a beaut LMAO
do you have any proof?
Wut???🙏
Prove it
Lol, prove or it didn't happen
King Of the monsters i got a 98 Peugeot 205 with 3 billions km 😂
Girls with £200: Time to buy an Gucci shirt!
Us petrolheads with £200: hmm what car can i choose?!
My cost me £450! I dont own many clothes, boring. Would rather spend money on a car ...
I think most people would buy something else than a car with that money.
@@makes528 the best thing is having atleast 800 bucks for a car cause 200 bucks cars are quite most of the time with mechanical problems and are needed to pay insurance and MOT or they're crashed enough
@@debbiepeter112 it's a civic? Cause civics come at these prices now if it has rusty pieces like paint falling apart
@EliteDz # Chanelle sorry but I'm Romanian but also in romania exists at renault dealerships brand new clios at 7300 bucks
Who would have thought I'd actually be watching this as genuine consumer advice to get a CoronaVirus banger!
This is awesome, reminds me of my first car.
A W123 200D Mercedes that I sold with a proud 1 340 000 KM. And I still see it cruising around sometimes.
