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.

....... I wonder who posted it the 1st time....
...........
'twas you me thinks
I hate to think what the running cost for a heavy 3.5 litre would be...
..........
For me 'twould be a case of if it appeared sound, buy it, oil change maybe and run it for a year with the fingers crossed and get a few hundred back next year

Motor tax €1,683, insurance cheap, maintenance cheap (get a well sorted car and there is no maintenance except your annual service), petrol 15-30MPG (depends on your driving style / commute / etc.)
QUOTE]
or €1900 per year for TAX if you pay every three months, (@€;475) which is more than likely, when dealing with a bangernomics car.
So in your first year of ownership, you pay an extra 90% of the value of the car, provided he let you off the €150 on top of the purchase price ....
Fcuking country....:rolleyes:0 -

Lets be honest though, it's that cheap because of the tax system. If the tax system changed to make these cars affordable prices would go up.0 -

It's getting there
Nearly all the 10 year old S60s posted here in the past year were high mileage / 2k. Not worth it.
Now finally one with low mileage and going down towards 1k. Worth it!
On my list too :cool:My ads on adverts.ie

Another curious machine:
Not sure how well Nikolas minded the quattro system, or how many times the clock was wound back, or why it has Katanas, but it looks pretty straight and the money is small.

Only 3 months test and no tax, no tax is a relative biggy really over there.
And more importantly you'd need to be certified or else need to be very very on the ball to suss out "Sometimes the Check coolant message comes up - Been told by mechanic this could be the sensor as the car does not overheat", might be after a cooking or too, who knows?
Also........ "at times when filled up too much it does smell of fuel but it snothing that’s bothered me since it soon goes away" ... at best the fuel filler neck yoke is wrecked.
In short, that to me looks like an untaxed crate of sh1t.

I didn't really read that deeply into the advert to be honest. It was just one example of many big engine cars that can be picked up at for in and around that price in the UK in usually tidy enough condition:

Even though you have just linked to a 728i asking almost twice over there what the 735i is asking for here :pac:
A 728i is still a car that would be out of bounds for most people on the tax system over here, so it's much of a muchness really. No doubt you could find a 735i/740i easily if you were to search other sites.
In relation to big car prices in general over there, here is a V6 Saab 9-5 Griffin at £995 for extra measure: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C3382660 -

In relation to big cars in general and the example you use is a 13 year old Saab that appeals to a tiny market ?
You have your views, I don't agree with them 0 -

Aside from the Saab, I have posted other valid examples of cheap cars that are all for sale for relative buttons compared to what they would cost in European countries on the continent. You can clutch at straws saying "that car has a limited market" or "it is double the price"; combined with the UK tax system they are far better as ownership propositions compared to here where pre 2008 large cubic capacity models are taxed regardless of their fuel type or any other valid data in relation to their actual pollution.0 -
