many consider the 2.8 to be too slow & too thirsty, and the replacement 3.0 is considered quite delicate. The only things keeping their value any more are the LandCruisers & Landrover Defenders. Everything else (Discovery, Pajero, Patrol, Trooper) see their value drop like a stone when they hit around 10 years old.

the local vetenary practice has dumped their 4x4s for daysul cars, what they were offered for they was little or nothing.

reason is there is NO export market for those nissans....I export jeeps and get asked/offered to buy them all the time, but no one wants them abroad.

and as for that guy getting 50mpg, I'd like a ticket to his planet.........what a spacekadet

Interesting...i'd say lots of businesses that were "natural" homes for these sort of 4*4s are now switching back to cars/estates as the benefits do not outweigh the huge fuel costs at all.

There simply is no justification for buying one of these what so ever, none.

30 grand? I know someone who bought a Fiat Sedici for around 10,500. Brand new, just pre-registered. 1 third of the price and a better car!

I think it looks perfectly alright, no worse than a Cashcow.
But 30k? Can think of better ways to spend my money...

Worth about half of the asking imo

Civic's hold their value really well, worth about €2500 for a nice one, I'd say that's for haggling room and getting rid of people just ringing to annoy him.

I preferred this thread when it was real dreamers, not people sticking on €500 more than it's worth.

It's not even worth €2500. I've owned a few of these and have bought and sold them for half of that asking price. One of the examples I had was as clean as that car but with half the mileage and I was lucky to get €1600 for it.

Now if it was an em1 with the b16 dohc vtec engine it would be worth €2500 to 3k but an lsi like the one above, not a chance Imo.

I didn't read the ad, when I saw 1.6 i assumed it had a b16. Then yeah, that's well overpriced.

No worries, I can't blame you for assuming that as it looks the real deal in the pics

That's an armoured car they are quite expensive still a lot of money.

"FACTORY ARMOURED BY AUDI
Security Level B4/VR4!!!
Front windows lowering fully.
Lockable weapons storage compartment. Intercom system.
Run-flat tyres.
Reinforced bumpers."

coolisin

While it is security reinforced etc,
Surely its still like any other modified car, well done for spending all that money, you dont necessarily see a return.

Although the fact its pictures are not taken in ireland, i have my doubts.

Renegade Mechanic

Its a B4 Armoured car. Its gonna be worth a fair bit. Armoured cars generally cost six figure sums, I'd imagine. This one though strikes me as a bargain (bait) to someone who might want (need) an armoured vehicle in Ireland in fairness.

Would the windows be bullet proof on that thing yeah?
