    Hi lads,

    I'm on the look out for an estate for a friend of mine if anyway spots something.

    Engine size 1.6, preferably less.
    Budget is max 1200.
    Long NCT. Until october/november.
    Nothing to far away. Connaught or bordering counties

    Would also consider a commercial estate van such as an astra. Engine size not an issue there.

    Thanks.

    Seems fairly straight and handy for where you are. Get 100 quid off the asking price and you're sorted.

    A very good bangernomics car these. They might not handle all that well but they are very comfortable and very reliable.

    Needs a heavy discount but such a lovely and under rated car.

    Worth a look if you live close by. Could be a bucket needing tons spent on it for a test or it might be a well minded gem (which I bet it is).

    Hilarious ad for the "car that has everything" - except NCT or tax it seems!
    €199 for a Rover 416.

    In fairness it's only 200 beans! Haggle him down to 150 and you'd nearly get more for scrap. If you were handy with cars you could sale it true the nct and have cheap motorin for the year. That said if someone was handy with cars would they drive it?

    a welcome relief from my friends who think they are saving money by paying 18,000 for a newish Hyundai i30 because it has a diesel engine, low tax and good mpg. And they actually think they're nice cars, they're not!!

    Well said, lads!

    And we really are very lucky that Ireland probably has the best value bangernomics cars.............in the wurrrrlllldddd :D

    Something comparatively awful (exactly what I'm not 100% sure yet) imo :(
    Needs must, work etc etc etc :)

    The silver lining is that I was struggling big time with ideas as to what I was going to replace it with so I'm not overly bothered.

    There's a green 93 one up here around the local town, wearing sprinter badges. Apart from it, I've never seen another one on Irl plates till that ad!

    An Alfa perhaps RJ? :pac:


    This on the other hand is complete bangernomics. Clearly just passed the NCT recently so it's relatively ok and it's got some tax. Yours for about €850. Proper stylish bargain that would benefit massively from a very good clean.

    Would only consider V6 options in the Alfa family tbh :)

    Is that the same seller all the time or is it moving around do you know?

    Nice car and all that, 166man, but a 4 pot 166 just isn't right :(

    BTW my best mate saw the error of his ways and he is selling his nearly 2 year old MiTo diesel. He bought a bangernomics Busso 166 LPG (€0.70/l) for a grand :D

    239416.jpg

    He already has a GTV and and a Spider. Triple Busso man :D

    Have a feeling it's the same seller, however reckon it's had a dodgy few years since we had it. in 2010 when we got the 159 Tractamotors took the 166 and a few weeks later rang my Dad to let him know it had been sold to an ''older lady'' down in Cork and it was on it's way down there. Then after a few months it came up for sale by some fella selling it very cheap at about €2.2k.

    It then popped up on donedeal a few weeks later for €3750 some punter trying to make a few quid and since then the miles have crept up slowly and the price fallen to €2650. It's a bit weird if I'm honest and it'd be getting a very thorough look over if I was looking at it. Anyway just some background info for you there anyhow. :)

    True but the 2.0 is surprisingly not too bad in the 166, trust me many a time that car was full to the brim with a full boot and five on board and it went to and from Dublin to Kerry.

    Mmm lpg V6.... Best of both worlds...:D

    I think this looks good. :)

    Test till August 13. Might be slightly over priced at 1,600. But It does look spot less.
