you really should do a video on obscure Chinese tyre brands! Rate the names top 10 😅
This is brilliant!
Great idea.
I’m still looking for four Happy Gallops 🤣
@PJS-uu9xu nah you want some Rubber Wang Ditch-Finders!

I saw the " massively overspent" coming. 😁
You've kept a car on the road mate.
This is the video I have been waiting for. I had a 2009 one of these in the same colour. Got it in mid 2021 as my first car with 35000 miles. Sold it last June with 56000 for a new Nissan Micra. Oh boy do I have regrets. This car was an absolute banger. Took it round Germany twice. Admittedly drove alittle fast while in Germany. But having a VW Polo was the pinicle of Sixth form for me and an absolutely amazing car and to whoever bought it after me. I hope she looks after you as well as she looked after me.
A Nissan micra were you drunk 😂😂
@@user-dr2ww2jg8o what's worse. It's bright orange. I don't think a drunk person would even buy that
This car didn't look after you its a completely different car. What on earth are you a bot?
@@DaleSteel happy now?
I still miss mine, an early 2010 (first car) sold it in 2018. You never forget your first car and I now drive a golf gti
I bought a car from Matts the other day friday) nice easy experience.
The Swedish guy?
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm420 Steve yeah Swedish , we had a jacuzzi then did the sale , offered a massage , I declined and took the car, not the volvo..
@@itsmelampoi the F?
@@davidbillberg2203 what?
Used to have one of these when I was young with a famous 1.9 tdi engine. Perfectly reliable, kept it in the family and it clocked freaking 750.000 km before getting crashed into and written off.
those 1.9 are bulletproof. Everything else will die on the car before the engine lol
@@ademiravdiccap my turbo blew then the engine seized
we had a golf 4 station that did 650.000km and it was still going but since it was a golf 4 it was rusted out
but we sold the engine and gearbox for 1250 euro and then the car it self went for another 750 so after buying it brand new and driving the hell out of it it still earned us 2k and we had it for like 13 years
That's ridiculous Kms - what a great car!
@@abdichow poor oil changes buddy
To everyone else on the internet "IMO" stands for "In My Opinion".
But all viewers of this channel know it really stands for "I've Massively Overspent!"
The Valeting worked wonders on this car. The seats especially looked brand new, and the colour just popped out in this video. It really did transform the inside of the car. Well done to the guys at the Valeting shop👍 Hope the investment works out great for you, Matt👍
I have had my vw polo 1.2 2010 for 4 years since I passed my driving test. It’s on 98,000 now and still going strong. Regular services and well looked after. And I love it 💪
If you do 6k mile oil and filter changes and keep an eye on the level, you can feel free to ignore all the hate for the 1.2 CGPB and CGPA engines - they're a brilliant engine if you look after them, but sadly too many people follow the manufacturer oil change intervals (i.e. neglect them) and then blame the engine for problems.
Your uploads make my days brighter, Mat!
Thank you!
It's nice to see your New Year's Resolution working well for you Matt.
Back in 2006 I bought a 3-door Polo like this one. Great car, kept it for 12 years.
Much simpler than today's cars, easy to use and without any serious issues.
...and without a million different sensors.. 😅
Really fantastic content as always Matt, the ‘I bought a’ videos are such an excellent, easy to watch, enjoyable format. Keep up the brilliant work. 👏👏
Couldn’t agree more
Good evening Matt, nice little car, it will be a nice first car. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.
Have a Polo 14tdi on a 04 plate, 110k on the clock, had it for 7 years, it meets my needs and service it every year, all filters and oil, any advisors always get sort, found it a good little car for me, been all over the country in it, just an honest bit of transport, had the same issues with the boot struts, made me laugh 😂
We had the same.....it was the best car we ever had. It was 2 years old when the wife had it, then it got passed around the kids as a first car. It drove and handled really good. We got rid at circa 140k and it was still on the road near 180k.....this was the era of reliable vw's.....not so much now. Just use good oil and filters and you wont go too far wrong.....
I love these videos we had an x Trail and an evoque and now we’re back to the cheap and cheerful I love it 😊
Another great video Matt. Keep up the good work
My wife bought a new one of these, red - 2003 - and drove it to 2010, 29k on the clock. Car was ok but the VW dealer tried to imply it needed new shock absorbers, just out of warranty and various other items coming in at £600. Took it to my garage. Just needed one spring and one fuse. Servicing done at my local garage from then on.
It is still running somewhere. Not spectacular, but reliable - unlike the dealer.
Dodgy dealers can't help themselves, can they? They just have to be dodgy.
Another great video matt and a certain sale with that one at the asking price as it will serve the next owners well and after 3 years will still get a grand back for it if kept maintained and from fitting number plates to boot struts your talent knows no bounds look forward to the next video 👍
Great Video as always Matt. The car looked nice, glad you overspent and kept another car on the road. I really hope whoever buys it, looks after it, with that mileage it could go on for another 4 or 5 years. That is a great price for the car. Really hope you do some collabs in the future with other dealers/car enthusiasts on RUclips.
Your content is fresh, keep it going
Hi Matt, I enjoy watching your videos, it's good to see you keep older cars going for longer and the pit falls thats can be overcome (usually at your expense). It would be good if you could do a follow up video on the cars you have prep'd and if/when they sold and if you did get your asking price....
Shout out to your valet people - that interior is transformed ! Looks now in keeping with the 60k mileage. Excellent result !
This is what we want to see ❤️, keep it up Matt I love these videos
Another great job, Matt!
Matt keep up the work
Well done again Matt, this kind of car, or one similar would be my daughters ideal first car, she will be learning to drive this time next year and i will definatley be up for a visit to your garage 👍
Hi matt great job on the wee car, clean up well, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless
Love it.. back to normal service ... massively over spending... missed this content Matt. Awesome 👌
This is one of the best automotive channels on youtube
Another great video from you Matt, and I can safely say that you're time and efforts have been extremely well paid off. Before I started to write this comment, I went onto the car and classic website and typed Volkswagen Polo into the search box, and the results were Polo's from 1984, 1985, 1990 plus, and to top it all off, a 1979 Polo. All for sale in the UK. That means if well looked after, there is another twenty plus years out of the Polo you bought. Someone could buy it as a first car, get married, and decide that instead of getting another car, they might want a small car that they can use for work. A sister of mine has the last of these Polo's, 2009, and she wants to keep it for as long as she can and I have told her that if she looks after it, she'll get another twenty plus years out of it. Finally, a friend of mine had a 2001 Polo, one of the previous ones to these, that was out from around 1996. It was a 1.9 diesel, and she had no bother using it to tow a horse box
Nice little runaround for someone - looks very well. Another good job 👏
Hey Matt! Came across your channel recently since I’ve developed an interest in cars and been watching a lot car content, absolutely love these videos they’re amazing to watch keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do!
Great video HPA,nice work Matt, surely there's a profit, great little car 😀👌👍
Hellova good job on the cleaning inside
You haven't massively overspend Matt. Looks great now. Here's hoping you get your asking price.
I paid £800 for a 2 litre, 19yr old golf about 7 years ago. I drove that car the Scottish Highlands twice, Dover and everywhere in between, had a job doing heavy mileage every month. Very, very reliable car.
Scrapped it for £350
Got your monies worth and did a good thing for the environment and all that
Post covid that would be a 5 grand car 😂😂
Great video, keep it going😀
I was given one of these 3 years ago. A 1.4tdi with 160k on the clock. It’s now done over 170k and just keeps going probably my most reliable car. It’s still on the original clutch too!
Well done matt,nice motor
Watching with a lot of zeal & ambition.
Car flipping is really an interesting profession, you sir have made it a passion for me. Thank you.🙏
Literally addicted to these videos, you are living my dream Matt 😄
Great video mate
The transformation in the seats alone is... amazing!
Can’t wait to watch!
Funny, I’ve just bought a CHEAP SEAT IBIZA FOR £400 tonight, bit older but only 72k. I don’t plan to massively overspend but then again Matt you’ve taught me all I know 😂😂
I'm happy to see you've kept another basic (but good) car on the road, Matt. One day in the not-too-distant , when it's either an EV or the bus, we're going to regret not holding on to cheap-to-run petrol or diesel cars.
Glad to see you resurrect the old one's Matt ,it will do someone a turn.
the work you do is really awesome. out here in South Africa the car is a legend and is super reliable. but VW here is expensive to buy high risk for theft and some services tend to be pricey at times. this car will run for good couple more KM whoever buys your cars are really lucky . Thanks for another great video
Looks good Matt. Always pleased to see you restore a neglected car.
You're getting better. Not massively overspent but getting there
That Atrezzo tyre was top notch - it's an Atrezzo 'elite' 🙂
Interior looks really good clean
I knew this one was going to be a Overspender!
Cute little Polo, low mileage, now its Mint! :D
Great video and work as always Matt! :D
Good to see you saved yourself a few hundred by fitting the boot struts. Nice work
Polo came out well im sure it will soon be some youths pride and joy. Love a cheap car video you never know which way they end keep the videos coming so entertaining
I think these are my favourite sort of videos that you do. needs more jag tho. I could watch you save old Jags all day :)
That Rangie is a nice piece…..wish I was brave enough financially to risk the potential repair bills. Another good video Matt 👌🏻
Seems a lot quieter, you didnt mention the fix for the grumbly engine? Keep up the good work Matt, I'd love to do what you do and rescue sorry cars
Flipping heck matt what on earth are them head rest in your car 😖 not the best looking head rest in the world look bit daft or should I say they look like rolled up sleeping bags some of the most silly headrest I have ever seen sorry mate
Its a range rover u peasant. Its a nice luzurious and comfy head rest.
@johnplatt8369 what on earth does that have to do with the fella asking about the engine?
This takes me back! My first car was this generation Polo. sa56lyk was the plate. 1.2 E, manual windows and no remote locking :p
Matt, so glad you save this polo...maybe it's time you do a Citroën, we know it's you'r favourite brand😅(a proud owner of c5 hdi here). Continue with great work!
Love your videos mate, I hope at some point, you will get to buy an Alfa Romeo Mito, that's the car I own and I just think it would be a very interesting video.
Another good video Matt 🚗🚙🚘⭐️⭐️👍👍👏👏👏😎
Great video as always Mr. Goodwin 👍 But I'm always curious about that grey warm looking VW Caddy in the background. It looks like it's not a normal Caddy lol
Also a contact lens/glasses wearer and saving for LASIK too. Planning to do it in South Africa when we visit
I’ve got this car we got in second hand in 2012 and now I drive it when I passed my test last year, 70,000 miles and nothing wrong with it!!! Good cars, it was my mums then my dads now mine
I had one of these on a 55 plate, a 3-cylinder 1.2 petrol like yours and it was one of the most reliable cars I ever had. I sold it with almost 120,000 on the clock, and it never gave me any real trouble other than consumables. I think the key to these is to get one that's been looked after. Any neglect and they quickly become fragile. Mine was one previous owner, garaged and with a full and regular service history.
Hi Matt 👋
Fantastic video, the car looks great and will make the new lucky owner very happy for mountain bike money 🙂🚗✅
Fab that you have saved another perfectly decent car 👌
You may massively over spend but you put out decent cars . Keep up the good work great entertainment 👍🏻
Fabulous find
You can,t beat a nice cheap and cheerful little motor.Like you said an ideal first car.Well done another older car saved.
Someone will have a tidy, well sorted first car due to your generosity….❤
Profit time and it wasn't painful repair Matt . Excellent value in MINT polo condition 👌
I think your a good car dealer who takes on anything any age model or mileage some dealers don't take on cars more than 10 years old.
Have to say that has polished up well.
Great video.. as always you missed out the price of the centre wheel cap 😅
GOOD JOB💯
Another great video.... The car looks great but retailing that id be panicking the timing belt goes (if its a belt) at that age, if its never been done... Doing that, would of course, sap any profit away... Good luck with it though Matt as always, brave man!
My previous car was a black VW Polo, almost the exact same as this one…and, when I did the part exchange for my present car…the dealership gave the price as £800…
It was also, my first ever car…
The only difference was mine was a 2005 model…
Watching this brought back many fond memories…
I have been a viewer since you had 2 or 3000 subscribers, last time Iooked you had 30,000 subscribers just looked at this video 300.000 subscribers, I had to look twice, well done
Thanks!
excelent video, could you do a video on car brands with a undeserved good reputation for relaibility
Well Matt, I would totally buy that Polo from ya and make sure you received a profit! 60,000 miles and looking that awesome, I would jump in a second!
Very nice little thing top marks
Hi, I really like your videos. Can I suggest you put costs figures on the screen please for easy reading. Keep up the great work.
Where do you get your paint work done always looks really good
Nice one great car guru
Cool little car ..good luck..
What a good honest car. Well worth saving.
I'm not sure whether you done this already but it would be really interesting to know what you managed to sell some of your cars for, especially the ones where you MASSIVELY overspent! I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who would be interested....I know you may take a part-ex in as part of the deal but it would still make interesting content. Being from your neck of the woods originally I do love your humour and of course the lovely scenery in and around Romiley.
Wonder Grip van been Nicked?
Polo scrub up well in/our.
I had one about 5-6 years ago 1.4 tdi with 90k. Had no history but was a clean car and ran great never any issues apart from fuel cap breaking off and heater resister switch
I just saw your Z4 video made an article on The Sun's website. Wow. You're going mainstream. 🙂
Love your videos. You should definitely join up with Autoalex to do a car challenge!
In 1991, £2500 bought me my second car, a six year old high spec 29000 mile Rover 213SE with full service history, a lovely plush little 4 door saloon. Nowadays, apparently, £2500 will only buy me a 16 year old base model 3 door 3 cylinder Polo with no service history. How times have changed.
We have one of these as a little run around second car. Can't fault them. its 06 we have had it for 4 years now and apart from a break switch, some new tyres and annual service its cost us next to nothing over that time.
Anyone remember the ford keys that had the little light bulb on them to locate the keyhole, my dad’s sierras had them..?
What a brilliant transformation
First number plates, then boot struts, you’ll be doing the discs and pads yourself next 😂
great cars most of the time
Matt I've gone from an allroad to a 53 plate 6v polo minta with 50000 miles 1 owner fsh and I love it. Oh and it was £825 😅they are great cars.
Lovely stuff..
This brings back memories of visiting my mate at uni in my then, fairly new (later shape than this) Polo. Pretty girl comes up to the car, "are you a dealer?". I was unaware of this stereotype until the video!
