    Think motor check would only tell you if it's from the UK.

    They'd be delivering to pretty remote places in all sorts of weather.
    RHD makes dropping to mailboxes easier and safer.

    Would have had a hard life. I doubt it's been in a barn since 1996.

    I'm astounded, how do you know these things or what made you think there was more to this than an old unsellable 2.2 auto subaru!!!

    This car was built in Subaru Lafayetta Indiana

    I fear some fanboi would pay it unfortunately.

    Never understood the attraction. You'd get an E46 M3 for that and have money left to tax it. The seller's obviously never heard of a full stop either.

    Fanbois won't even drop 18k on that, it's simply not worth that kinda money.

    A poorly styled booter... 9-12k in today's market? Even at that it's a bloody stretch.

    €6-8k would be realistic.

    Booters aren't nearly as desirable as hatches. A clean booter would struggle to make €9-10k and that's the worst example of Jap done UK that the world has ever seen.

    What I love is the "text only" line

    Cos anyone about to drop €18k on a car is going to do so through text

    Nail on the head here.

    It's a fairly new phenomenon this "Just testing the water" notion, essentially it's just another way of showcasing the car. Although you would think that Facebook, Insta & Snapchat would suffice.

    Also if your going to "show off" you would think they would use decent photos and perhaps a level of English that doesn't make you look like an idiot.

    Yeah but the kind of people who look at that ad and think "aw yeah thats class that lad must be minted" are also idiots

    "not 1 bit pushed on selling" - Why stick the ad up on Donedeal then? It was a struggle to read that far down. I need to rest now.

    It ain't.

    It's called a booter, as it's got a boot, not a hatch, if ya follow.

    They're UK spec seats right? Did the booted get sold in the UK?
    If you're gonna sell an AE86 for €18,000 it would want to be Pebble Beach levels of original.
    No roll cage, no miss match parts and no ****ing rebuild, diffed to bits bodies.

    Would be an interesting press car for them to show how far they've come. There can't be many Irish ones left.
    The cousin had one she bought new for 8 years, passed it on to her brother who kept it longer than that. No problems with it to be fair.

    Did Hyundai sell any earlier cars here or was that it's first endeavor?

    91d10349 is an earlier Irish one anyway.

    The stellar and the pony were the earliest IIRC, around 1988 or so. There was the S-Coupe too a few years later.

    The Stellar was interesting in that it was loosely based on the last gen Ford Cortina and had Mitsubushi running gear. As did the pony, which is funny given that Mitsubishis small car was the Colt.
