The worst cars I have owned where all Volkswagens! First out was a 1969 T 3 1600 tle I bought from an “officeinpocketgipsycardealer” for 500 sek (25€ today) SBP (mot) 6 months + 7 left on tax! It had some “small” rust issues, body lifted from the floorpan when cornering hard. Poor scrapman had to go home after a blowtorch when tried to lift it in the roof (lorry with crane) Second out was Polly a polo 93 I’m still recovering after. Bought it with fresh sbp and tax and a broken fifth gear, hade some nice mileage until september 07 2009 Third out is a jetta 88 looks good on picture but rear wheel arches was aluminium pieces and asphalt + wooden screws. It had a very smoked interior, get tobacco oil on me fixing the shift lever. Smell in it was so bad that people start asking me if I begin smoking again! Sold it to a dude from Africa ;D Bad picture i know

Montego Estate! White with hand painted black bottom half, drawin pins holding head liner up, looked like drapes!, the wipers were so fast the blades used to fly off! and the back doors would randomly open when cornering!!!!
I sold everything including my golf GTI to buy a house and had the Montego given to me free as a tie you over motor!
Hated it that much i cant even remember what happened to it!

the only car i've had that i really didn't like was 1996 mercedes c240 elegance auto. everything worked fine, cept the auto box went a bit funny. but it was so bloody dull and hatefull to drive. good job i killed it after only a month or so of owning it. never really felt conected with the road so unsurprising i smashed it to bits on an icy back road. ;D shame i didn't save the pics.

not really a bad car... but it wasn't my best either, did have alot of fun in it dough.. i believe everything was fixed here, but when i bought it within 3 days the front left suspension kinda got ripped out due to rust and driving style... brakes where so bad, when braking from 70km/h you would have made half a turn with the steering wheel to keep it straight.. it was lowered and kinda sitting on it bump stops in the front, that wouldn't stop me from trying 120km/h over speed bumps! it would do it perfect! the engine really was bullet proof, it died on me a couple of times due to some ignition problems, but most of the time would start after a couple of minutes... if was bloody fast for a 1.3 single cam, and rev'd like its life depended on it (it did ) when i bought it, it would hit the rpm limiter on 4th gear, when i sold it, it barely made 2nd i welded the suspension after 3-4 months, a month later fixed the brakes, and then decided it was time for something else... biggest mistake ever... still think of the nova sometimes...

Chevy LUV crew cab, like the isuzu tf, paid £750 of Ebay, went to get it and didn't look at it much paid my money and set of home.
300yds down the road the low water level light came on, another 1/2 mile the battrey light came on. Stopped for fuel to find the filler neck was made of electrical tape and I got a trainer full of diesel, checked water (full). Mate had to push start it as starter packed up in the garage. Battery light went out but came on again aftewr 2 miles and it was getting dark and had 70miles to go.
Pushed the fag lighter through the dash plugging in the sat nav, hit a bump and the radio fell through the dash to. after 15miles the rear dif started making such a noise you had to shout at each other, heater stopped working and the oil light came on but it keep going all the way home and started agian next morning.
Top speed was 55mph on the flat in 4th it would not pull 5th
When i got home i found 3 of the 4 lights had fallen off, the paint looked like tar painted on with a brick and the rear 18" of chassis had been cut off so if you put anything in the bed it just sagged.
Put it on Ebay next day with an truthful description and got £890 for it and got a 3.9 v8 disco 2nd worst car i have ever owned (bloody sunroofs)

I have been lucky really, Have had curse word cars......but then knew they were curse word, apart from a renault 21 savanna, base model. It was given to me as compensation for a mk1 golf cabrio (talking early 90s here!) which after a drama with the police, was "removed for further examination" Turned out to be a total ringer! I never saw the golf again, and kicked off with the garage I bought it from who "gave" me the renault to sweeten me. I paid 5 grand for the golf, and ended with a f***ing 7 seater estate, I hated this car, and in effect I paid 5k for it.....on a loan! I commuted 700 miles a week and it was a nightmare. I weighed it in a year later when it seized......it was a relief to see it on top of the pile and know that nobody else could suffer. It is the most money I ever parted for a used car, and from a dealer. lol.

One of these: '86 ford laser - most boring car on earth. Didn't die no matter what was done to it (even a 70kph sideswipe ) but was just horrible, no character, no power, stupidly thirsty and noisy at highway speeds (3spd auto) and darn scarey at them too, no front end grip at all at high speeds, just wandered everywhere. When I was 17 I worked at Pizza Hut and we had one of these with a stupid Pizza Hut roof on the roofracks. It was white with beige interior and had the most miserable god forsaken engine I've ever known couple to a 4 speed manual that made tractors seem slick and over engineered. It was hateful in every single way. It was crude, badly build and smelled of stale urine. It was a resolutely awful car. But, much like yours, it would simply not die. Pizza delivery drivers did frankly horrible things to it. Bounced it over gutters. Drove it on the beach. I know of one who took it offroading on bush fire trails on the central coast. It just Would Not Die. I don't think it was ever serviced in its entire life. It got petrol and that was it. Even given that odd reliability I'd still rather take the bus. Yeah, we did a camping trip in ours, with roofracks, probably 200+kg of luggage and 2 big blokes, 40deg celscius, just about dragging the back mudflaps, overheated, drained most of the fluid, replaced with water and drove without coolant in the water for the next year or so
