If you think your Golf is costing too much to keep on the road, a Scooby is really not a car you should be lookin at tbh.

Yeh the scooby will cost more to fuel and tax.

Have you seen how many owners some of these Scoobies have had...

Because basic service items require replacing twice as often, at twice the price. Anything else that needs replacing is uber expensive, then drivetrain (common problems) and engine will cost probably more than your Golf is worth to fix. These are not cars for those who have to worry about spending money. Most have been ragged within an inch of their life, and the ones that are not don't come round too often. You really do get what you pay for with these.
