What do they say again? To each his own? Someone clearly lives out this e thos on a daily basis.

Volkswagen 2007 Rabbit

Car has a few modifications with car audio please see all pictures.

Habla Espanhol

Serious inquiries only

Available to show on Saturdays

The seller clearly assumes this is normal, otherwise he would explain what “his own” is. No such luck.

But I just can’t see the logic behind cramming a whole skating rink’s worth of audio equipment and cheesy graphics into an old Golf.

Seriously.

It appears to have once been in great shape.

Just a normal base Golf. I’ve ridden in one exactly like this used to be down to the 6 speed and they are great vehicles , even in the back seat. Not much room back there now.

Is this worth $18,000? The seller very much made this his own, so I would say no.

“Hey, where should I put all this grungy old stuff from the put put?”

“Yo, just slap it in my car. Anywhere will do.”

This is bad. And the thing that makes it worse is that they don’t appear to have installed a 4Runner “Party Mode” button:

I always thought it would be fun to buy a car like this and quickly rip the mods out in the previous owner’s driveway right after doing the deal, and just casually ask if he’s got a Dumpster™ .

Some tuner car shows have audio/stereo competitions, I’d guess that’s what this was built for. But crack pipe doesn’t even begin to describe this.

CP.

Side note, have you ever been to Caribbean countries where dudes drive around in a truck with straight up night club speakers in the bed absolutely BLASTING music? This is that but America style.

No, but I also seriously doubt I would like the sort of music they would play so I might be better off not knowing.

‘What kind of mods?'' WHAT?'' WHAT KIND OF MODS?'' WHAT?'' I SAID WHAT KIND OF MODS?'' YOU JUST THREW A ROD???'

It’s the exact kind of music you would think you would hear. I go back and forth as to whether I like it. When I’m in a tro pical country, I like that the soundtrack matches the environment. In the US, I can’t stand it and all “island” music sounds exactly the same and repetitive .

IIRC it changes the speaker settings to be better heard outside the vehicle, instead of optimized for the driver , so you can park it to provide music for your outdoor party.

I think he put maybe some sort of springs on it? Completely stock otherwise*.

Or a VW Funk button. This is a OEM button on VW taxis. FUNK is german for wireless, and usually used for Radio. So this button is installed in taxis so that the rear passengers can turn off the radio. But it’s the same Size as a regular button so it can be fitted in any factory blank switch. My brother in law put on in his MK4 to turn his subwoofer off

I like how none of them are subwoofers, all 6.5"/6x9" full-ranges.  That’s... not exactly the way to go about it.

Speaker settings , huh? I assumed a bottle of Stoli  slides out of the glove box.

Yup. Now that’s a YouTube moment right there.

Even I noticed something along those lines. Like, this just seems so poorly executed. It would always be the worst car at a car audio competition.

Hmm, I have been meaning to start a YouTube channel, since everybody seems to be doing it these days. My original idea was just to buy really cheap cars off Facebook Marketplace and then figure out everything that was wrong with them, but this could have more comedic potential.

This would be my take too.  I know next to nothing about high output car audio.  I do know enough to know that this isn't how it's done..

I like this - i t would be like Pimp My Ride in reverse. With all the goofy camera angles and reaction shots from the seller as you rip shit out and smash it on the ground in front of them. The more retarded the car the better the video. How great would that be?

Basically, redoing Volkswagen’s old Unpimp ze Auto campaign, but for real.

The question is do you let them in on it ahead of time? You’d get better reactions if you don’t but you also don’t know if someone will not take kindly to their car being torn up right in front of them.

I SAY DO IT

Well, they sold it, so they don’t get a vote anymore. If I’m going to be throwing out $18k at a time, though, I’d need sponsors, at least for the startup - I’m sure Amazon affiliate links and generic fina steride endorsements will cover the costs eventually.
