Man buys Honda Jazz for $267 and is left shocked at what he finds when he collects it

The Honda Jazz has a reputation for reliability and practicality, but this particular unit might just be the dirtiest car ever sold.

When a YouTuber got a call from his colleague saying they’d bought a Jazz for just £200 (about $267), he didn’t expect much.

But when he was warned that he might ‘need a hazmat suit’, curiosity got the better of him.

Armed with nothing but optimism (and mild dread), he set out to inspect the surprisingly cheap vehicle.

This Honda Jazz may originally be orange

When Matt from High Peak Autos arrived at the scene, what he found was less bargain and more biohazard.

The 2008 Honda Jazz, finished in what appeared to be black (and possibly orange underneath), had clearly seen better (and cleaner) days.

The bodywork was covered in dents, scratches, rust, and filler patches that looked like they’d been applied with a garden trowel.

One door had clearly come from another Jazz, still showing its original orange paint under a rough coat of black spray.

Missing trim, mismatched tires, and a broken window regulator only added to the car’s tragic charm.

Truly a contender for the dirtiest car ever

However, the exterior of the car might as well be brand new in comparison to the interior.

As soon as Matt opened the door, he was hit with a wall of stale cigarette smoke, dog odor, and pure filth.

The carpets were caked in grime, the headliner was tobacco-stained, and the seats were filled with old fast-food wrappers, cigarette butts, and what he delicately described as ‘dirty hankies.’

Even the seatbelts were brown with nicotine.

It was less of a used car, and more of an archaeological excavation.

Mechanically, things weren’t much better.

The clutch slipped, the gearbox whined like a banshee, and the brakes juddered violently.

Despite all that, the air conditioning somehow worked, which was pretty miraculous.

After a brief test drive, where Matt had to endure the rancid smell of the car, he concluded that the Jazz was beyond saving.

His mechanic agreed, calling it ‘uneconomical to repair’.

In the end, Matt scrapped the car for just £120 ($160), taking an £80 ($107) loss but gaining a great story.

As he put it, the experience was a perfect lesson in what not to buy.

This just goes to show that while car prices have been creeping up, this doesn’t mean you should always buy the cheapest car you can find.

After all, if you’re unlucky, it might end up being the dirtiest car ever.
