Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Another IS200! :eek:
Also, was behind that exact Xantia yesterday on the North Quays :eek::eek::eek: I remember it because it's quite rare to see one in estate guise.... Only to see another one further down, a HDi this time
Looked rather clean either way

Wording is a little ambiguous, but my reading of it is that it passed the NCT 2 months ago and hence should have a decent length left. Wondering if heating up could simply be a thermostat/radiator issue rather than gasket worry?
Granted its the weedy 1.6, and reasonably high miles, but if it does have test and the heating is a small issue then I reckon you could do a lot worse for €650

Might be just the viscous fan coupling0 -
Regardless of the root cause of the heating issue the possibility it's been cooked is quite high and hard to access pre purchase.
This looks potentially decent...........

149k miles but I imagine there's be a little bit off come haggle time post viewing 0 -
Not a car that'll be in much demand but for people who want some V6ness in their life it might appeal...

95K miles, NCT until Santa time, asking €1450.
2001 Carisma with an NCT for a year, 88k miles asking €1099...
For someone doing a decent commute who wants a cheap yoke, 2000 Focus diesel with 11 months NCT, 102k miles and the seller claims the belt was done at 100k miles Asking €1400 which isn't overly cheap but if the car is genuine it's not too bad.

I imagine you're right
Wouldn't be too worried about the 149k miles if it runs well and you get the impression it has been maintained. These 6 pots are strong and should take another 100-150k miles. I'd be a bit more worried about the life of the box...My ads on adverts.ie

Summarised your post
Depends really, it comes down to weighing up resources required and possible reward, if they reckon it's sound and also reckon they can flick it on as is (the asking isn't overly cheap anyway imo) I can appreciate why they'd try to.
To be fair it might only have landed into them recently, they might be planning on putting it in for a test, better to have it advertised than not though
Lazy and busy can result in similar results
I got a few hundred off a car once as I told the dealer there was no service history so in my eyes it'd need a belt immediately, prior to that chat I'd found a FSH in the owners manual in the glovebox 0 -

Aye, I know James, there are many more nuances out there than the black & white and the sense of suspicion often depicted in this thread, by myself and others
Especially with regards to the NCT, there are many reasons why someone would not have NCTd their car. Been there myself. Car not insured means I will not drive it to an NCT center. Ever.
That said, this is a buyers thread. You can't blame a buyer for looking elsewhere when there's something he doesn't like. Plenty of fish left in the sea!My ads on adverts.ie

Looking to get a little runaround at the moment (preferably something bangernomical!) as my current car is costing me too much seeing as I don't use it that much. Was looking at this: http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4906525
a little bit rough around the edges but NCT until 01-14. Anyone know what they're like to drive or any common problems/faults?0 -

i love ZR's. most are a nice drive, well spec'd and handsome
but i just wouldn't (as a bangernomic). cheap to run and reliable, realistically they are not. they are a great car when they are going good, but they are very temperamental and a bit soft.
they are like an alfa imo - great looking, have character and offer plenty of reasons to own one. but also need an owner to love it and persevere with it :pac:0 -

I have primera series II, am changing soon, no more Nissan for me, not like post 90s versions. Can only think of Accord in budget but might be other options? Under €2000, happy if less than €1500. Notions for me?
Tbh if i wanted accord, i would try to go "little" over 2k and get newer 2003/04 model - i personally love them.
If not, 2k should give you nice choice of cars(older model), and they still look good - even classy if come from caring previous owner - these days. Much better than Avensis imo.0 -

€2000 budget with a 2.0 criteria opens up the possibilities to many yokes, an Avensis wouldn't be top of my list anyway...Accords are decent but the model in your budget are quite dated now imo.
Mazda 6 is worthy of consideration...
http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4824620
No mileage specified but 2004 and almost a years NCT
This one is asking €2250 so it's a budget stretch but there's 3 months tax on it, also a years NCT ish and 92k miles, looks very well kept...
http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4929134
Legacy...
http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4906107
Not much NCT left admittedly.
This Accord creeps into budget but there must be a huge (ish) lash of miles on it I reckon....also a dent on the bonnet, still anything over 120k miles is considered high by many, on a car the guts of 10 years old I wouldn't be too bothered even at 200k miles if it was well cared for

From experience a family member had/has with a Megane of that era, they really don't wear the miles well. It could be a good buy, but the interior and whole car in general really does feel like it has those miles as opposed to others if you get me?0 -

It's been pikeyed up a little bit, all can be undone mind you
You have to ask yourself, with a car done up like that, what kind of life has it had? Has it been regularly serviced instead of spending money on looks? Why has it had a new gearbox?
I'd tread with caution....0 -
