Maybe there is no consistency been applied by the ncts, its strange.

Checked my NCT disk, done in December, and the test date is printed on it.

On mine as well. That NCT disk on the the Lexus looks a bit ropey to me

Had a look at a corolla put thru in the last 2 weeks and there was no date on it and its definitely legit.

Jesus confab, now thats a nasty V6 car if ever i seen one. Not particularly fast or powerful & comes with the usual v6 disadvantages of heavy fuel consumption. All wrapped up in the ugliest golf ever made.

:pac:

It's illegal here, heavy on fuel, expensive to tax (if registered), no leather, ugly colour and the price is too high for what it is. :eek:

They're a bastad for timing chains too.

Advert says its only up a day so I'm hoping its not a repost



No mention of tax, mileage or test, but for an asking price of €975 it might be worth a call?

Some sellers haven't a clue. I'd say he remembers it like it was only yesterday he bought it and the condition never changed in their eyes;)

But the ad says Wicklow. That's what all of Wicklow looks like*. Isn't it?:pac:

Now I'm a city lad myself but even I can spot the fact it's actually parked up :pac:, more than likely in the carpark of a woods or something, there's a footpath behind it and there's only some weeds around the back of the car .

mike65

I bet the weeds are now climbing around the rear wheels.

If I had space I would so be buying one of these and a TE model too. Super timeless classics.

As above man, the weeds in front of the rear wheels aren't even squashed so he may have had to life it into place for the pics

seriously though, maybe ditch was an exaggeration, but it does look as if its been lying up for a good while.

Enough of ropey Golfs. Here's a bangernomics favourite, the 7:




http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/2006521

I made a call about this one and am very very tempted, but seeing as I just got my inspection 2 done on my 5'er, and petrol the way it is, i'm going to reluctantly pass. For anyone who fancies it, here's a bit of info.

He's a Lithuanian guy who took it as a part exchange against a 745i he was selling, and only has it in his name for a week.

Previously to that, the car had two owners, the last of which had it for 5 years, and the one before that since supplied new. 98k on the clock.

It's got a stamped BMW service history up to 78,000 (mostly in Bolands) and had an indy do the last service. No issues at all, so he says anyway.

It's NCT is due at the start of next Month, but he's willing to put it through before sale.

He also said he's willing to do a little bit on price. I reckon you could have it for 1100 euro.

All you'd need to make that look amazing are clear corners on the front & rear, and a set of MPars.

If it checks out, it's an absolute steal to buy a premium car like that for 100 times less than it's purchase price 12 years ago.
