- I figured it’s time I got a new car , so I went and applied for a used 2022 VW Polo Gti with a mileage of 18 000 KM.
In this review we discuss just how expensive cars have become , we talk about tips for car buyers and I share the interest rate I was offered on the Polo GTi I named Boity.

Why isn't there anyone doing these kinds of reviews with houses and real estate in RSA?
Please do a detailed video about trading in a car
All the processes involved also make a example if possible 🫣😊
I’ve subscribed because this video to me is just inspiring cause u just bought a car i also dream about and want to own💯. Congrats King💯💯🥳
I mean gti because my keyboard it’s not make sure ✔️
Please follow me too 😊
Rather buy what you can afford. Buying things on credit is how people become poor.
Good on you for not falling for that dealership's tricks.
Great vid, really enjoying your content!
One thing I wanted to add that really annoys me when buying a car is the added "On the Road fees"! Such a scam... On your invoice there it was a total of R10500!!!! They want to charge you R5000 for 'Delivery'???? Are they going to deliver it from JHB to CT or something? That is the only reason that would justify that in my mind. And the R4500 'admin costs' and R1500 'registration', you can both yourself for less than a grand. I've cancelled deals before because those fees were so ridiculous and if they won't scrap them or lower them significantly then I also walk away, they are already making a profit on the car and getting kick backs from the bank for the finance so they don't need to milk it even more - like charging for smash and grab that is already on the car!
Scary to think someone at the bank thinks you must bow down to that crazy interest rate, and have the audacity to say they are doing you a favor!!!!
People are getting ripped off, and I'm glad you highlighted this.
Thanks for the video, and valuable info!!!!
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Great video. Car prices are ridiculous. R8899 finance, + R3000 fuel + R3500 high risk vehicle insurance = R15,399 P/M roughly... whew
R200K in extras is absurd. I'm convinced Audi sells the car without an interior and steering wheel.
LMAO they must have seen that we are morons, we are willing to pay for anything
Even more ironic when you realize that on the more expensive cars, most options come standard.
There's no way you'd have bought a lemon, Muzi would've came for you 😂😂
Most definitely 😂
Dr.Muzi would have trolled him and the dealership.😂
Not every polo gti is a lemon guys
the first batch released early was the lemons.
I blame him
You're a good bloke mate. You're doing such a great service for young men in being responsible with their spending. I've subbed!
I like how you put things into perspective by explaining engine displacement vs Kw output vs Price. Having driven the polo GTi, I only have 1 issue (apart from issues mentioned by Muzi): it’s uncomfortable on a long trip.
That's interesting I've always secretly wanted a Polo GTI, I have Cross Polo and it's amazing long distance (put 215/45 17 Tyres on instead of 40's and its even better) That's a deal breaker unless I own another car for road trips.
Did you tweak your suspension? VW is the master of comfortability
So the GTi is a sports car and traditionally sports cars are not made for comfort. I hear what you are saying about the suspension but it will never be as comfortable as a normal Polo or Cross Polo. The suspension is quite tough and the seats are also a bit tougher than normal. I guess you have 2 options: Buy for Speed or Buy for comfort
@@sambowkshow does it look with the 45’s instead of the 40’s?
Maybe it's preference but I have driven 8 hours straight in mine with just stopping for fuel. I never once felt it was uncomfortable as an 80kg male... but definitely not as comfortable as the Golf 7 tsi I once had.
Mr HowMuch! You're a stand up Guy and I appreciate this video - I admire your views, thoughts and reasoning for saying no to this deal. 1 day is 1 day that you'll drive your hearts desire.
Very wise move Bongani, for not buying the over priced lemon.
People buying demo or second hand, check what the dealership are loading to your purchase price. I recently bought a second hand vehicle earlier this year, guess what they also tried and loaded a smash and grab on a car that already had it and other added products, I refused to pay for extras except maybe warrantee. Do not be desperate despite how good the vehicle may look. Try to negotiate, the dealers are also desperate to sell the car.
Never buy a car without a discount, thats my advice. Smash and grab should be a free incentive not an extra charge. Walk away fast
By far the best video simply because you dropped serious knowledge after getting us hyped of course 😅😅😅…seriously though that was well executed and very informative 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽…well done MrHowMuch well done…
Great video and total sense in not paying the absurd interest rate...
Thanks for the knowledge my man alot of people fall for that trip thank u for the exposure man 😊 of how we are ripped off daily
Appreciated content as always
I don't care that you did not buy the car. I did subscribe and like because you were transparent and honest. Which I need for me to gauge what is happening in the market, which I assume is the point of the channel.
To be honest bro you chose wisely!😂😮
I took a preowned Ford ST fiesta and I tell you it’s almost as powerful as this and I have manual which is best 😤
But the fiesta is way to go preowned of most of these models 😊
It's fast
ST is quick as fck
Excellent video... Very informative, educating our people on cars. Alot of people in financial troubles because of not paying attention to prices
That's why I like your reviews bro, honest and no emotions involved in the decision making 😂. Don't worry you'll get a better lemon soon 🍋
Yeah no 15.75% 😂😭 what a joke. Well done for pulling out of that madness
Nice vid as always, one day you'll have your boity for sure!
I am actually happy u didn't buy it bro 🤜🤛🔥, there is something better waiting for u out there .
Good.. Knowing when to walk out of a deal is commendable
Great educational content, mfo! And well done for following your head over your heart on that GTi deal. There will be others, mostly at SMD, if you know what I mean 😁😁😁
Congrats on your purchase! The car based on current market conditions looks like a good deal.
Thank you for this video. Eyes wide open!!!
5:36 Yes! Even though I've driven a lot of them because I work for a small Rent-A-Car in California. I just want to see the difference between the US spec🇺🇸 & the SA spec🇿🇦 mustang
Great buy Di bongz🎉. Colour and looks it's a stunner. It's been a while since I watched your review. Yihle baba
Muzi watching this video proudly in the corner 😅😅
I love you so much ❤❤ the moment I saw 15.75% linked (worse), meanwhile having put down a whole R100k Dep, l was so pissed Sana.
Mr howmuch great work bro and congratulations on your new boy and Iam learning how to become a car journalist one day keep it up bro
ai ntwana u made my day .... when you threw in a throw back of the old gti i was finished
Bro you've made a great decision.....that car is beautiful though😍
Congratulations bruh❤🌧🌧it's blessings
15,7% nah thats too much
but thank you for the headsup Mr Howmuch
watching from umlazi🎉
I was offered 18%😢😢😢 yooh im not that desperate
I've been in the polo 8 Gti. It's so nice. It must have been tempting to just buy it and deal with the consequences later😂
Congratulations Mr howMuch 🔥
Definitely need a mustang review
Your reviews are the most entertaining and unique
Congratulations MrHowMuch!❤️🔥
Lmao they were trying to scam you😭😂
Hi can't wait for the review of the new Yaris cross.
Congratulations man 😎
Thanks for the advices Mr how much 👌
Best decision ever. Bro you saved yourself some headaches
Will definitely check out change cars
Great content💯
I was looking forward to seeing Boity 😢
Great content chief. Thank you so much🙏🙏🙏.
I'm glad to see some South African content.
Very Helpful Mr HowMuch
Great educational information for us interested buy used cars.Still insane audi costs 200k.Polo gti manifest buy one day
Keep on looking bro you will get a good deal
Congratulations 🎊 👏
You clearly didn't watch the whole video
Congratulations 🎉
Great video...
I blame Muzi for this deal breaker😂😂😂😂😂😂
Traded in my BMW 3 Series Mzansi Edition and got a 2023 Hyundai venue N line saved myself I've had it for 4 days and I'm enjoying it so far especially since I'll be paying 7.5k installment instead of the 17k I was paying on the BMW 😂
I was hoping you’d buy a MK 7.5 GTi since its the second most popular VW video in your channel
The one with 75000km’s, out of service plan?
@@sizwedinisesoko obviously not the exact car. There’s a lot of 7.5 GTI up for sale
😊congratulations 🎊
🙃
You should have used the 100k to negotiate with banks yourself once the dealership has made you an official offer. Never allow the salesperson to do the application, that's how you end up paying for things you don't know about.
You made the right decision.
I enjoyed this. Subbed!
Welcome to the channel 🙏🏾
@@mrhowmuch ❤️
This is clean tjoooo!🥵
@MrHowMuch do a ford Mustang review my man. 5.0 GT specifically :), Rent or Lease my bro; Not buying it the VW, "was the right thing to do". Maybe upgrade the Fiesta with a ST (Fiesta or Focus). Or go wild with an RS bro :)
No worries bro , The Ford Mustang Special is on the way.
Please do the Mustang.
Thank you for the video.
Fact is, that was great interest rate, it’s about less than 2% above prime rate, unless if you have crazy high credit score and history, you can’t easily get below prime on movable asset
Definitely do a ford mustang review
You had me in the first half 😂 great video tho
speaking of buying affordable cars, please review the new corolla hatch... eyi as a first-time car buyer that is where my eyes are at now...
Congratulations
From the 4 definitely the polo GTi and keep the change.
thank you Mrhowmuch for the tip. now we will look like professionals when we go and buy boity or her sister
When they tried that nonsense of making me pay for an anti-smash-and-grab in a car that already has it, I told them to remove it as I had never asked for it. They removed it and then I also asked them to remove that ridiculous delivery fee nonsense. Sawphela zi dealers
What’s the best interest rate would you prefer someone to take the offer 13% max or you would negotiate ?
that navy/black MK6 in the backgrouind..... hell ain't hot enough for people who do that
Very informative...
100k extra I'd go for new. I still don't trust the DSG boxes reliability long term and we have no idea what repairs the previous owner did. But that's just me...save up a little longer and buy new
buying a car right now is generally a bad deal. 1. used car prices drunk on inflation, 2. borrowing rates at the highest.
got Sandero at 10.85% fixed in 2021, wrote it off and then got Fiesta at 10.0% linked in 2022.
New car prices are ridiculous is the reason the second hand car market is booming and some people like me we keeping our old cars, we do some upgrades and thanks to aftermarket they have latest gadgets some better than factory fitted.
Please do the Ford Mustang review
Thanks for the great video but that Polo is too expensive, advice buy second hand car and fix/ upgrade and use money for asset building
Yes please do a Ford Mustang review🙏
Is it a good idea to buy this gti cash??? And if I have to re-sell it at, will I not lose out?
😹Ahh MrHowMuch thank you.. And yeah we'd appreciate the Mustang Review
05:39 Next time, perhaps get a quote from We Buy cars first. We were advised by aa Merc salesperson and when my wife did so, she got a better price than what Merc, BMW, Audi and VW were offering (these were the brands who's cars we took for test drives)
Same here I would go fo the GTI! Yeyiii dealerships wanna rip us apart
ahh yes… a gti video. ❤
and a R5000 delivery Fee, What is that for? Are they delivering it to your door or are you paying for the car's transportation from cape Town?
não tá ruim como no brasil , que pelos 600 mil rand (155 mil reais) leva o GTS 1.4 150cv , e quase 900 mil rand o jetta GLI (golf muito mais completo).
Find a low-mileage Mk7 GTI. They're very good cars! They're further down the depreciation curve so they'll have much better resale value in the future as well.
I would like to know this two cars that which is too powerful between Hyundai I 30N and Golf 8 R and the cost of ownership as well please do that review please
The higher the interest rate the dealer put forward, the bigger is the amount of kick-back in rands for the F&I person. It is just another way f upselling from the dealers in order to tap the most amount of money during a transaction. I have been buying cars through finance for many years and have a credit score above 800 and the local VW dealer presented me with an interest rate on a new VW, I declined the offer because the rate was to high. Then my son bough a used Polo from a used car dealer and he got a better interest rate than I did. New car prices and finance companies needs a make-over and a serious one.
Hy Mr.HM. Penta motor group in brits might have the GTI you are looking for. It’s just over my budget, that is why I didn’t take it.
@MrHowMuch dam I wish you had asked. Never ever tell them you putting a deposit! (unless you have to financially). The banks use this against you. I've financed many many cars. Max everything you can, balloon the works. Even use the "special plans" and ask what you can/cant do. That's how you get the interest rate right down. Prime minus stuff. But you must understand what you are getting yourself into. Once you have the car for like 1 week, you put your "deposit" into the finance but you decide how to allocate the money (I think we can thank Zuma for this, you cant be penalized for paying off debt early in 99% of the cases. In this case you not paying it off completely). Make sure the insurance knows how you financed the car.... shortfall, balloon,residual etc. Then you ask the bank/finance company to recalculate if it affected more than the balloon etc. Then you can adjust the insurance to suite. PS: I just sold my Polo GTI for an Amarok (BF Special)
Here I was being happy kanti weehh that is lemon of car..... Imagine paying for smash and grab while it's already fitted that's wild Mr HowMuch🙂🙂🙂🙂
Aprreciate you bruv
Enjoy it!
Great Video
Thank you 🙏🏾
for the price of the gti compared to the other one its value for money + performance.
Lol I think you can’t compare Audi/Merc/BMW to VW bro. They’re just not in the same league and the level of prestige is just different 😂.. Great video by the way!
Can the dealership provide you with the approval document from the bank, showing the details of the approval, including the approved rate, linked and fixed? Then you choose for yourself.
You read my mind 😂 i was already thinking Haval HEV or Tigo 8 Pro Max...best value for money in comparison to the Audi, Merc and BMW you mentioned.
I'd go for that Polo GTI.
You lost interest because of finance interest 😂😂😂
I bought mine in 2020 at VW Springs it was 430K,the interior same as this one just few updates like touch buttons on this one.I also has 18 inch rims. i got it on fixed interest at 9%...thing have changed hey
