That Golf could do with a polish.
Yes, it's a shame ... But either the owner is not an enthusiast, or he can't afford to keep the car maintained well. (My wife bought a GOLF like this one in 1990, with 90 hp.
It was a nice car ... )
Red is a terrible paint colour - oxidises really badly and would need a deep polish to restore.
At this point, it would probably cost more to correct the paint than the car's worth.
