I am 9 years old and recently bought a Lamborghini Huracan. No finance, paid cash. I have worked my whole life doing chores for my parents and saved up my pocket money every week in my piggy bank. Anyone who questions this statement is just a JEALOUS HATER
dominicrusho lol
£1m Insurance paid by saving up the £5 his Nan gives him every Easter since birth because she’s too old to go out to the shops and buy him an egg.
Fair play lad
I just bought a Koeningsegg Agera R in 5 different colors with my pocket money I forgot about. I have also tweeked them for roughtly the same amount as buying 5 more to get that extra bhp and torque. If you say I am lying, you are rubber and I am glue..
Owned and love it.
Your just a proper baller!! 💪
19 with that sort of money mate you smashed it honestly and Ngl I thought you were like 29
Parents
Its good to have money eh. M8 when i was ur age i was lucky to afford ma insurance for a corsa
I feel you bro
Hello don’t hate we all have the same 24 hours in a day
How old is he? I've just turned 21 the other day and I'm looking at getting one 😅 I have the money saved up to buy one
@@JC-cb4xg good on yah bro
Hahaha me too bro. I'm 28 and was finally able to afford a used mk6.
Fair play for actually discussing numbers lad! So refreshing to hear someone talk about car price and insurance quotes!
Thank you matey!
You are doing very well to own such a great car at 19yrs of age, well done young sir.
On a more positive note, my R now built - getting excited as went for the sunroof, camera, Spielberg wheels, keyless, dsg and just received my bespoke floor mats with lapis blue leather piping and R logo. Well worth a vid in the future and put the 2 together. Didn’t get the black mirrors then and laughted a lot when I saw the start of this vid! Lol! Damnnnnnnnn . Thanks for the vid though some really constructive and informative information. J
Thanks again for the kind words! :)
hampshirephoto What insurance company do you use?
With this content you'll be up there with LLF in no time. Really enjoying the videos.
Thank you very much Kamil!!
I've got a used Mercedes E class - it's great! Never been a fan of Golf's, but I do have to admire that a family capable hot hatch, like the R, is supercar quick, with cheap road tax. I am full of respect to VW for giving the people what they want. The car industry has certainly come a long way.
Turned 21 this year, reserved my 7.5R yesterday. Its a full black on black R with pretorias and looks gorgeous. Very hyped and can't wait for delivery day.
Great video. Really helped me out, I plan to get a Golf r soon.
Thanks Javier! You’ll love it
Interesting info mate. Just had notice that my Indium grey R has left the factory and is heading this way!
Glad you enjoyed! Ooo nice one
We never buy new cars my guy
Something doesn’t seem right here. You’re 19, you seem to exclaim that you’re paying for things outright. You say you saved up the 29k for a long time, and then out the blue, on a golf you decide you blow 29k of savings. Now for somebody to have the financial wisdom/knowledge to acquire the 29k in such a short time (3 years from the legal age to work) to make such a ill-advised financial decision to dump all their savings into a heavily deprecating asset such as a car does not make sense. Now either you’re not being as transparent with how well off you actually are, and this 29k is merely chump change, or you have loaned out/financed the car, and kept the remaining of your savings for future mods/insurance and tax ect. Which would also make sense why you decided to even mention that you didn’t finance the car or insurance.
Daddy’s money
What’s his own business then Blower? Because owning your own bossiness does not automatically make you have thousands stashed in the bank at 19 mate. It doesn’t add up. Either the guy has had a nice injection of cash from an external provider (not hinting anything there) or he has the car on finance/leased, which is not a bad thing might I add, for somebody to just dump so much capital into a depreciating asset such as a 29k car, especially with the ridiculous inflated prices today, is no better way to say it “financial disaster”.
blower what I think is obvious to me, is that I’m arguing with kids about finances. Go out into the real world, acquire that 29k for yourself, and then come back to me and tell me how sensible it would be, to dump all that capital graft into a second hand golf.
@@94RS I'm 41, and 3 weeks ago i dumped £37,000 into a 3 month old Golf R with 9000 miles on the clock - it does have a list price of £48,000 tho.
blower 3 months old with 9k miles on it!? Definitely been ragged about that’s for sure! Seriously though, just get these type of cars on a finance plan. They’re seriously not worth the listing price. They’re not worth investing (if you can call it that) thousands of £££ of capital when they’re designed to be a quick finance money making machine. You had 37k... why on earth blow that on a 2.0L golf! Ludicrous. And you’re supposed to be 41, how long did it take you to acquire that 37k? Must of grafted your ass off for what, a 2.0L golf. God some people.
i have an audi a3 tdi184bhp quatrro..planning on getting it tunned to 220-230 soon. Nice video dude i like this... new viewer btw :)
Nice informative video. Appreaciate your honesty mate. Lovely content. Subbed
Thank you so much Fareed!
Quality video and huge respect for talking numbers 👍
Thank you mate, really appreciate it
I was looking at a Golf R, a Audi S3, Focus RS mk3, cupra st 4x4 or the type R fk8. In the end I decided to go full mid life crisis with a Type R ex demo with 400miles on the clock.
I only had to pay £140 tax, full comp protected insurance is less than £260 (because in mid life crisis age) and got 5 years servicing for £599.
The golf R is a quick understated grown up car and was so close to getting one in blue.
Mummy and Daddy are definitely bankrolling this chap.
Just because I’m young, it doesn’t mean I’m not capable of making my own money. 👍🏻
@@hampshirephoto silver and spoon are the first words that spring to mind 😉
😊
Just got a 2018 GTI SE. Kinda regretting getting the manual, but still in love with it!
The entire Golf platform is amazing! Great cars
I think the Gti platforms benefits from the manual, the auto makes more sense for the R
Did you hear that noise? - that loud bang?.......that was me falling off my chair when you told me your insurance costs of £2700!!!
Haha!!
2700 for a 19yr old on golf r is actually good
I payed £3,500 for my subaru impreza wrx at 20 years old
if he was silver spoon feed, or even an average family, he would not insure the car on himself, thats just stupid since the cost is so much higher when under 25, and especially under 20.
Mate I'm 20 years old, my car 1.3 litre engine four and half grand for insurance without Blackbox Toyota
Amazing to hear you saved for your pride and joy regardless of what any haters say. I trade shares for extra cash aswell as my full-time job and the money comes in, who the hell cares anyway apart from the jealous. Keep going Luke, good man
Hey Luke, enjoying your videos - just curious whether you put premium or standard unleaded in your Golf R? Do you notice a difference in day to day performance or mpg between the two? Thanks
What do you do for work?
What does you’re dad do?*
Why would that matter 🤣
Jamesy Crockford cause his daddy by him a golf r
@@smeister4103 how could you possibly know that 😂
Jamesy Crockford lets be so very honest buddy it’s quite obv there’s no chance on earth he’s saved up 25 thousand when he probably just got of school a few years, I co own a garage and I don’t even have enough money for one of these it’s quite obv his dad has bought it for him or he just shits money and if you can’t see that ur dumber than I thought
@@smeister4103 it's all speculation, you don't know the facts and never will so I'll end this pointless conversation here now. 👊
Another fabulous video!
Thank you so much!
Try live in liverpool with a 2010 audi s3 I'm 28 and cheapest insurance for me was 3400 a year!
Don't be ashamed of being a silver spoon kid.
Don't be ashamed of being jealous?
hampshirephoto lol Dickhead. Censoring the public.. truth clearly hurts you....
He evidently deletes a lot of comments to try stop people knowing he’s a trust fund kid. If it isn’t the Golf R bought in cash at 19 that makes it blatantly obvious it’s how much he acts like Alan Partridge.
All I know is I’d feel a bit embarrassed if I were him, but that’s me. He’s clearly very pleased with himself.
I just bought my 2015 Golf R estate for 20k. Incredible spec and one beautiful car. I’m 32 and invested everything I made from over a decade of working in local government into properties before finally deciding I could treat myself. I consider myself extremely fortunate.
@@hampshirephoto he's telling you not to be ashamed of being who you are, I fail to see how that makes him jealous? Either way, great car and its good to see it being enjoyed :)
@@hampshirephoto glad you ignored these guys personally i enjoy your content and i agree i dont understand why people have to be so jealous and toxic
Another nice video Luke, when are we loosing our warranties? APR is looming 🙈
Thanks Aaron!! Oh gosh I know!! Lol
hampshirephoto I'm waiting for the deals and I'm buying it, think they do 25% off periodically, I'll be going stage 1 🙈
Ah interesting to know!
@@hampshirephoto Go JB4 and keep your warranty for a good year or 2, b4 going for a full map :) - that's my plan anyway
Great honest video!
Thanks!
Soooo I’ve been thinking of picking one of these babies up. Been reading and watching reviews on them, and they’re all pretty much positive.
Have a question for you. Does the car show on the info system how many times the car has used the launch control?
Obviously I’m not keen on finding one that’s had the launch ripped out of it and want as new as poss and as low miles as I can find without buying brand new. Be interested in knowing the answer from any of you guys.
Also are they’re any defects or gliches to look out for please. Many thanks.
By the way love the videos 👍🏻
I have a Golf R I pay £489 a year insurance and the last full services 2 years was £189 and I got a free clean, who pays over 2k in insurance that’s insane. I also changed the tyres to Bridgestone Weather Control A005 as I wanted a bit more grip in the uk wet damp days. They are the best and decent stopping distance as well.
Nice video mate love it
Thanks!
I remember paying near 2k on insurance for a 106gti at 20y old. Not bad considering a golf r has more than double the power lol. My focus rs mk1 was the most thirsty car I owned 25mpg at best 15 at worst! Honestly getting a car with that kind of mpg would make me really nervous these days. Great video again the editing is looking pretty professional
Insurance costs are a nightmare! Thanks John, really appreciate it
@@hampshirephoto it gets better. My insurance is 270 lol, it's no golf r more like mountune fiesta st power but that's fully comp with protected no claims. A golf r quote was under 500 for me
Good to know. Thanks!
I recently got a 435i, I think I was over my head a little. Don't get me wrong, I love the car, but financially, not the best. Would the golf R be a good replacement?
You (your dad) bought the car outright!😂
Interesting warranty in the UK. In the US we get 6 years/72,000 miles. Also my insurance costs (I’m considerably older than 19) are $500/year and we have no road tax.
great video thanks for sharing! Could i ask what exhaust setup you had while filming this? thanks
Great video and info
Thank you Yasar!
I didnt realise the tax worked like that on these. Thanks for the heads up. My Golf R32 was £500 every year.
No worries Tom!
R32 engines a lot bigger
how does a 19 year old have 30k sitting in his bank account? I've been working since 16 and gone to uni and I'm still couple grand off
Denzil123 parents putting savings money into a bank account for him since he was born 😂
@@marcogiovanni8962 insha'Allah we can do that for our future kids
can do an apprenticeship instead of going to uni and earn quite a bit, im doing that now at 20 and started at 19 :D
@@marcogiovanni8962how that funny all parents should do that. Your parents were obviously bums
Nice. You forgot mods cost though. Res delete, wing spoiler, paddle extensions, eventually a new carbon wheel, then tint, wrap, ECU tune, DSG tune... watch out! You don't get those costs back in resale down the road. Spend wisely. ;)
Oh crikey yeah!! Gosh I’m so sorry! The annoying thing is, I calculated this when planning the video but it completely crossed my mind until now! In total, I’ve spent £350 on modifications (so far!)
Not too bad! I'll be making a cost of ownership of my MK7 GTI next week. Time to start adding up my own receipts soon. I just recently collected my new MK7.5 R DSG DAP leather in oryx white pearl (Canada).
Nice!
What did your parents say about spending 30k on a car at 19, I can imagine mine wouldn't look at me for a few months😂
he is a trust fund baby. they dont care
@@zaidspetsin9084 you sound bitter because your parents are less successful than his😂
Love your videos Luke! Not sure about those fuel stats though. I have a Golf R MK 7.5 Estate and if i put it in comfort mode and cruise control at 65mph i get an average of 41-43mpg in a 160mile journey. I think thats pretty amazing considering its a APR Stage 1 and can poon it if required 😂
200miles to a tank? I get close to 260-280 in my 18' plate Audi S3 and that's mixed driving, short-fast commute to work, not hanging about! Have you had it fault code scanned? What tire pressures you running?
@hampshirephoto What are your thoughts on the Scirocco R? I just have the 140 tdi unfortunately. Remapped to 180 though. Lovely to drive. You're welcome to give it a try. I live in Warlingham, Surrey.
I don't get all the hate he seems like a top geeza that gave us an honest review and told us figures as well we should appreciate that he didn't need to share it at all he's clearly not sitting at home doing nothing he's trying to build his own stuff as well through his passion in cars ppl are crazy
Great video I'm getting one on March 1st indigo grey with Spielberg alloys and the showroom pays the first years tax for £31500 DSG box as well. You can get some good savings off list price now that the new golf's out soon. It was supposed to be here for December but build delayed but worth waiting for because second hand ones are the same price
Thanks Kevin! Nice one, you’ll love it

@@thewho9112 what do u mean
My 19 year old self watching this video currently in my 2011 1.6 VW bluemotion golf 🤧
Interesting. Im looking for a golf r variant and im curious about the running costs. Been working for over 10+ years and after all that hard work i want to give myself a present. I want a high performance car but having children it needs to have lots of space
It's interesting to see a lot of the comments piping up about "daddy's money" etc.. even though this guy is literally giving everyone every single detail to the penny how much he pays! I've found this video very insightful and helpful (since I'm looking to buy either a Golf R or A45 AMG) at 20, was wondering what the year difference between us would do - and yes, with my own money! clearly the distasteful comments are from people with no ability to save and/or invest. Definitely gained a subscriber for the effort he puts into his vids.
Thanks buddy 🙌🏻🙏🏻☺️
Too many little jealous people here🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Fair comment about depreciation and not buying brand new but if I was in the market for a hot hatch (which I am at the minute) the last thing I'd be doing it buying something which has been ragged to death for the first 7000miles of its life.
19 going on 40, mid-life crisis could hit hard, lol, but Golf R is a fine car no question about that
Good vid - sharing that info is brave. But at 19 and paying cash for the car is an achievement. Ignore the negative comments on that. Sounds like you have your head screwed on and work hard. Keep up the good content - any more supercar vids in the pipeline?
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Yes, lots more coming next week
No way in hell as this 19 lad bought a Golf r with his money it was bought for him by dad or mum or grand parents.Good luck to him but the stuff his talking about service and tyres is horse shit and I am a golf r owner paid for though working.
It's not his cash. Where does a 19 year old get 29k from exactly. Either a dead grand parent. A wealthy parent or hes actually a drug dealer. All of the above is more likely than he earned it in 2 or 3 years of working.
@@mattx4253 couldn't agree more 👍
I currently have a gtd but thinking of getting a R
what average mpg does it get on your onboard comp
Around 30
Interesting and informative video. I purchased my Golf R in 2014, decided to go for a new as I wanted a particular specification, 5 door, DSG, sunroof, leather etc.. I was initially looking to purchase a new Gti but managed to find an excellent deal on the R by using Carwow. Insurance was the biggest surprise for me, using Admiral Multicar policy I can insure both the R and my VW Up for just under £400. Having said that I am in my late 50’s and have maximum no-claims. Enjoy your R.
What model of golf R is it?
Camskill will be the best place for tyres price wise I'm running uniroyal rainsport 3/5 on my ford ST fantastic tyre
Same in Switzerland:) Insurence is pretty high but your big service is a gift. We pay for our Range Rovers 2500CHF (~1900£) each and for the Vantage V8 even little more. But depends highly on the brand and where u do it.
Great video:)
Thanks buddy!
Hold on if that Blue is so common how was it so hard to find that spec Golf R? 😅
Haha well spotted. I was very specific with the spec of the car. Eg, Lapiz Blue, 5 door, DSG, below 10k Miles, Mk7.5, Pretoria Wheels in gloss black, etc etc
hampshirephoto Ah I see
Thats a lot of money on insurance! But to give you an idea on the future, Im paying £1200 for insurance on my Golf R (I'm 21). Definately worth the money
Good to know, thanks!
Really...? 🤔
nice video as always
Thank you mate!
@@hampshirephoto
thanks for the reply
How could you get insured with this car? I want to get one but I’ve checked insurance for myself and I can’t get insured for it and I’m 23 years old.
Why some people are so surprised with 2700 pounds for insurance? He is 19 years old so its expected to be higher than 25 year old or 35 etc. Also 2700 pounds is not a lot tbh thats a monthly wage for many in UK, idk what you must do if you think 2700 is crazy amount of money, and thats a year remember, not monthly..insurance of course
it`s funny how some people react when you give them this kind of info. Instead of comparing yourselves you should pay attention to the info he is giving you. So, if you are in a market for a golf R you know what you should expect. And on a last note, instead of looking at what others are doing, try to make this kind of money yourselves. Thanks for the video, i also followed the advice of buying a 1year used G7.5 R and the owner lost almost 15keuro on it in the first year.
Michelin pilot sport 4S for 19' alloys and pilot 4 for 18' alloys the only tyre make to have on a R...
That’s where I’m leaning towards when mine require changing
@@hampshirephoto Unless money is no object and then its Michelin Super Sports or Sport Cup 2 but are very soft and wear out quicker...
Same here - have the factory conti's on atm, but when they are done its PS4S all round.
@@hampshirephoto Michelin tyres are a must .
@@blower1 I'm at 10K miles and my factory tires still show no sign of wear!! *Sobs* It gonna be a long arse time until I get a good reason to switch to the Michelin Pilot 4S
Just out of Eaton! Frightfully nice car review
New cars depreciate about 20% in the first year!!! LOL, what are you on about??? You lose 20% as soon as you pay for the car, and before you even pick up the keys (presuming you are not a business that reclaims the VAT).
cant reclaim vat on cars
What u do for work ???
Where abouts do you live , I recognise some of them roads
How are you insured through direct line? I'm 19 and can't get insured on anything 2.0 or above until i'm 20
Insurance depends on so many variables, so I guess I just got lucky
I’m 20 years old looking for a golf R but when I look up insurance I’m quoted 4 grand, how did you get yours to around 2?
TBH, insurance runs on so many variables that no 2 quotes are the same. I recommend DirectLine though
hampshirephoto cheers I’ll give them a look! I’m looking at getting one around June/July time same as yours but I like the white version. Managed to get insurance down to 3 thousand and 1 pound now 🤣
SmithyBeats hey may I ask how many years of no claims you have ? And weather you live in or out of London
@hampshirephoto what is that you do for a living if you don’t mind saying or make it a video as this comment section went off with you having a 30k car at 19 caption it “how I bought a Golf R at 19”
What make are your glasses frames?
Defo do a video on a golf r service bro. Minor and major service.
7:40 onwards, you're in sutton scotney?
What mods have you put on it for it to pop/crackle?
None, they do it in sport mode standard
I'm 43 live in Australia pay 660 AUD which is probably about 300 pounds for insurance , great car love the 7.5 r can't wait to see what the 8 r is like I wish they would put that 5 cyclinder in there but unlikely.
which insurer @tony
This video has just saved me from purchasing this car! #Fuelcosts
wow those fuel costs are incredible....ive got GTD and easily get 400miles from a tank if not 500 on a long run driving sensibly i'd love to own one of these but couldn't justify those fuel costs.
I just got 350+ miles from a tank of Tesco Momentum 99 in my newly bought 7.5R….
This is an excellent video, very informative and transparent. It would be great for all of us if we could be more open with how much we pay for things, it could really drive prices down across the board. As for the Golf R, the mpg sounds very poor compared to a Golf Gti pp which will easily do 10mpg more under each of those conditions. The insurance is way lower for a Gti pp and tyre life is much better. I’d have either the R or the Gti pp without hesitation but one is much more costly in all areas without a lot to show for it. I do think this is the most relevant car video I’ve seen on YT, well done. IMHO, AFAIC etc
Great vid thanks alot.. but I would rather get a mark 3 focus st 2.ltr might not be as quick but it is very fun... and save a fortune on everything
Thanks Peter!
Do you have to use the padels in race mode or can you have it in automatic in race mode?
From what ive seen at a certain rev it autos
In Ireland I had to pay €4000 for full comp for a 1.2 Clio at 20 years old.. nah your insurance is pretty decent 😂
Holy shit that's insane!
It's best to get major service for high performance cars
We need to do a drag race with my golf r
Sounds fun!
22 MPG?! I was ready to part with some cash in the next few weeks for an R, but that is just awful. VW stats say 39....
What manufacturers say is never correct! If you’re careful with your right foot you can get around 30mpg
I get between 26 and 30 with short bursts of acceleration. On a motorway at 65 mph I have it at 42-44 mpg in echo mode, to be fair it would have done that in any mode.
Get a GTi instead then
@@flippmogaming1 yeah, I've got a GTI and I get about 35 most of the time. Seen up to 40, urban about 30. Not a bad shout!
funksterbass whatever it says in the book, take at least 8 to 10mpg off for any car really specially sporty cars. It’s bang out of order what the car companies do.
and vw are giving a price hike on the golf r for 2019 of around £750 spoke to dealer today! not really good is it VW
I tried to insure a golf r. I'm 31 had my licence for a year and the cheapest was 6grand
First video I have every seen of this guy but I am willing to bet all money he over says "Cheeky Nandos with the lads"
Tyres can make or break a performance car.
Make sure to get Michelin Pilot, Continental (OEM) or Goodyear Eagles
I want to get a golf R for September I’m 20 and a uni student and I got quoted 950 pound with 3 years no claims I just hope I can get that quote again because most are around 1200

Ryan B haha yeah it’s Cos I’m living at home and kinda wanna pay a lease deal with the finance😩😂
where is this @2.21?
If anyone is thinking about buying a golf r has I can see from the comments a few people seem keen, I own a mk7 manual golf r and see 31-35mpg with mixed driving even saw 43mpg on a 70mile trip (all motorway of course). I’m 24 with 5years no claims, my last years insurance was £586 that’s at 9k mile p/a. My fuel costs are roughly £25-35/week. I’ve rarely seen my mpg drop below 26 even on a ragging trip. I have the car on pcp and pay £280/month. Hope this helps.
Lease a depreciating asset, purchase an appreciating one.
I am from the Netherlands and im 23. I have 3 years no claim. My car Insurance (all risk) is about €1500 a year. The road tax is about 600 a year.
There’s no way on the earth you’re paying 2700 insurance for one of them at 19.

Bro do u live in the real world. Thier is ppl goin to food banks to eat hard working ppl and ur sayin ignore the haters. Get a grip.
Whereabouts do you live ? I recognise the area
I was getting 26/30 mpg in my R and insurance was below half what you was paying and I’m only 21. Tyres wasn’t to expensive.
