Behalten oder verkaufen?
Ich habe einen VW Golf der 24 Jahre alt ist und 370000 km auf dem Buckel hat geschenkt bekommen. Er stand immer in der Garage und es wurden alle 2 Jahre Inspektionen gemacht . Er hat im Okt neu TÜV bekommen was würdet ihr machen
Is that a gasoline or a diesel?
For a gasoline, the km stand is extremely high. Since he was given to you, you can drive him first.
If you want to make sure that the engine is still ok, drive to Atu or Autoplus and let the cylinders check. Something pressure loss in Km performance is likely. But this can ensure how much pressure each cylinder still has.
Only the spark plugs are screwed out and a small device is screwed into each cylinder on which the pressure can be read.
Thus, they can also determine whether a cylinder does not have any pressure at all.
This is not so expensive, but you probably have to make an appointment.
Do not drive to VW, which will take a lot of “coal” for it.
Success
As long as the car is in good maintenance condition it continues.
Phrases like “In old cars, all the expensive repairs will begin at some point” are regular paroles from the 1970s.
Keeping him in service costs just as much as a modern car.
Important:
No defects accumulate and always repair everything immediately.
And another thing: If water is under the seats in the car after a few rainy days, it is the death sentence for the golf.
The water enters through the doors, and you will never get that (extremely expensive at VAG) properly tight.
Do you need him? If you don’t drive at all, but pay taxes and insurance, it’s not worth it. Then I would sell him.
But if you can use it, why not use it? If everything’s still working, it’s top.
depends on: do you even know that the maintenance is worthwhile?
and remember: 24J and so many kilometers there rises the probability of repair with every kilometer driven
I would drive him myself my son makes a driving licence soon
Then drive him until he gets too expensive in repair…
You have your answer.
There’s hardly any money on sale. Drive until it breaks.
As long as possible.
