in fairness to that garage, they do normally seem to be pretty good with having long NCTs on their stock.

Well even if it does have an NCT , the price they are asking makes that cert worth about 4250 quid......Retail

if it had an infinite NCT it's not worth that money.

You can always tell an ex. Dublin Merc taxi that has done mega miles when the headlights look dark like that. I'd say it has at least 100 k more on the clock than advertised.

It seems this seller has had a small dose of reality, the price is now down to €1000, just knock another 0 off that and it might be saleable.

Bloody PC brigade....Its a laugh, there's no incitement to hatred, no racial slur, no threat being made against any section of society, its just a laugh. You know when someone takes the mickey out of you for doing or saying something stupid.

Maybe if we could all laugh at each other a little more we wouldn't have the problems we have .... be gorra

PLENTY! I know a lad who got 10 grand for one not so long ago.

07-07-2010 10:34am

Those Corolla's have been making mad money for the last 7 / 8 years. There was a time in the late 90s early 00s that they were worth very little. A guy living near me swapped a grey over black one for an 88 fwd Corolla GT that was rough enough about 10 years ago.

whippet · 07-07-2010 10:34am

I know a lad that paid over 20k for one a few years back, mind you it was fully rally prepared !

They are in many ways a specialist motors lusted after by a certian type of young fella !

Yes, as they are sought after for example for Rally.

SV wrote: »

There are. But in the case of the Corolla, they are ultra rare and pretty sought after also by Rally drivers, so I can see that getting it's money.

L-M · 07-07-2010 11:01am

They're actually a nice car to drive. I'd buy one only for I couldn't justify paying 6-8 grand, the cars you would get for that!

Two other reasons, 1. They're a red flag to the bulls that are Gardaí
2. They've all been dogged within an inch of their life!

Doesn't matter, I have an Almera GTi. It has a few bits to sort out like scrapes and scratches but it's an original Irish car, FSH, lower mileage, running very well. I could sell it to someone for €1,200. They could get the chips etc done and have 5k in their pocket.

damage to rear right arch
damaged, and badly repaired tail light :rolleyes:
and from the look of the engine bay, sure, it looks like new

I reckon that site is not being maintained, the prices look like they are from '06 maybe ...

unless you fancy paying €72.5k for an old model '05 ML270 !!

It's not maintained - the amount of ads on it that state NCT's until '07/08/09 etc.
