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.

At one stage I probably had Irelands largest privately owned collection of Bravos, 7 in total. Still have 4
My old 96 406 diesel did 50,000 miles for me cost €500 regular oil changes 2 NCTs from wrecker 1 starter motor 1 heater fan 1 pair wishbones 1 new wheel bearing hub got Timing belt and glow plugs done for less than €200. Plenty of life left in it when I traded up because I couldn't be bothered with it sucking air into fuel system. Bangernomics no?
I think it's both I have that part covered and everyone sicked posting them :pac:
Oblig bangernomic car....
NCT till June, 250
Tax it and happy motoring

Higher end of bangernomics and price for this model perhaps, but cheap motoring for many years, particularly if the history is good.

Way too expensive.
It's a UK import too, so that low mileage would need some serious history checking (going back 12 years).0 -

Maybe, but if it has a good service history, it is a far better buy than a clapped out one for €1,000 with 1/4 a million on the clock. Just saying!
Mondeo with obligatory gaffer tape. Fresh NCT and work done. People don't realise how impossible it is to kill these little cars.

04 Suzuki Liana for €1650
http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3946705
Honest John (yeah, yeah I know...) gives them a fair scorecard. They were the "star in a reasonably priced car" car on Top Gear for a while.
Parker's give it 2.5 stars and tell us Liana stands for Life in a new age.....
No Euro NCAP crash test results yet
UK models were 1.6 with decent specs or options; the one posted is a 1.3 and might be well-underpowered and Paddy spec....
driver / passenger airbags
lacks some safety features now considered standard
ABS and side airbag on GLX only.
Alarm/immobiliser on all models.
Short service intervals
10 owner reviews are almost all uniformly good 4/5 star range
One owner (only) reported problems: Exhaust sensor andFront Spring Cracked.Not your ornery onager

if it gets the same 1.3 as the swift & such then shes not a bad purchase... would be more 900-1000 in value but hey, its a cheap and chips motor that you'll drive till it blows up, which could be quite soon.0 -

.... A 76k mile 2004 loans is likely to blow up quite soon
Catastrophic engine failure isn't overly common on Suzuki cars to be fair.0 -

When I was on the lookout for a T5/Hot Aero earlier this year, this was always popping up for sale every couple of months, I even remember his name as it stood out (and same pics each time).
So beware, it's been for sale for a loooooong time, it may be a lemon as nobody seems to have bought it 0 -

I'd say its more to do with the running costs than anything. Driven the right way they'll manage 30 mpg ... just. Driven with any sort of enthusiasm at all and its sub 20s all day long. That and the fact that they are heavy on tax, tyres, servicing and they're not much of a drivers car, more of a straight line bullet, and you can see why they're quickly moved on.
People often buy them becuase they are cheap but the purchase price is where the cheapness ends 0 -

Right, some variety
NCT till August, 550
NCT till October 13, 800
Nipply little car
NCT till July, 800
It might be a typo but if it isn't its a serious bargain
NCT till Jan, 680
