      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.

    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.

    My car is a 1.4l Seat Ibiza 2012 that I bought on Ebay for £125 XD. Had it for 5 years with no mechanical issues whatsoever. The most I have spent on it was on a new set of tires, and a belt replacement. Scrap value is £150 too. Basicslly will have made money (if you don't count the tires) when it finally does die. Currently on 350,000 miles.

    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.

      Yeah, you can tell the type of dealer that is, if you get what I mean. Compared to the one that was actually useful...

    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

    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.
