Sounds about right to me. But plenty of chancers selling polos and corsas with magical powersteering that doesn't use hydraulics or electrics ;-)

I had an early 97 Polo (registered in February 1997 if memory serves correctly) and it had power steering. The OH is learning to drive an 96 Micra which does not have power steering, however in a car that size it's not really noticeable.

That is not bad. My bike is actually more expensive than my car and with the saddle bag it goes out of proportion

.
The bike does not cost any less in maintenance (per distance covered). And the fuel for the bike is not cheaper either, but who cares

.

Out of all that you highlight the sparks and ignore the fap filter regenerated? :pac:

colm_mcm · 18-01-2012 10:24pm

fap fap indeed.

I quite liike the idea of that 406 Coupe, thing is, I'm quite familiar with the housing estate that car is in, and I've never seen that car there.
No changes of ownership on motortax.ie though.

Drivers seat looks a bit shabby for a 43k car? Maybe the Alfa seats don't wear that well?
Or maybe just a poor pic?

The 156 came with at least two different cloth options. One was a corduroy like material which was very comfy and wore quite well. The one I had was a much thinner and smoother feeling fabric, which looks sort of like the one in that photo. It didn't wear well at all - very prone to tearing.

be good if there was haggling room.
had one of these a while ago and was impressed with it, seemed to be better built than a simular vintage bravo I had, (not as much shared as you think between them)

MrFoxman360 · 19-01-2012 6:34pm

Not a car for sale, but one I actually bought for some cheap ass motoring.

Got this car during the summer time for free and started driving it last month

Its a 98 Megane 1.4 8 valve, about as simple and as straight forward as possible.

The timing belt tensioner had collapsed and 4 inlet valves were bent. Got new valves off ebay, an new head gasket and a TB kit, all for a whopping €70 :eek:

Put it all together in a few eveings and I was on the road for just €70, (not counting my insurance which you have to pay on any car)

Its taxed and tested for a while and does 40mpg (which I was surprised about) when driving it normally. 3000 miles later and all I have spent on the car is €11 on new plugs. Might need tyres soon, but 13s are cheap and maybe a wheel bearing on the rear depending on the increase in decibel level. Servicing is cheap as anything too, 4 quid for an oil filter and standard 10/40 at €2.50 a liter. (bought in bulk though :rolleyes:)

Nice an comfortable and, hopefully, moderatly reliable old jammer.

Also being a french car with single point injection, it will run on poor quality fuel too, so the more people who fill their diesels to the gills with petrol the better, great whenever I can get it

That has to be proper Bagnernomics! and it certianly beats my Amazon or XJ6 for low cost motoring!

Between the seat wear, and the mileage description, that car seems very dodgy
The mileage is down in the advert as 43,000 miles
The speedo says 48,800, not 43,000 and it's kms as you pointed out
So the seats have that much wear after not even 30,000 miles?? Hmmm:rolleyes:

Wouldn't touch the petrol 75s, they are absolutely unreal to go through head gaskets and the majority of them that have it replaced after it are not done right so they go through another one a few thousand miles down the road. Even if you were dead set on a petrol one I wouldn't bother with a basic spec one like that, the ones with all the trimmings go for about the same price. If it were my money I'd put a bit extra to it and get a good diesel one.
