    Hey guys,
    I'm bored of my current car but have no money. It's a 1998 ss-iii celica with the beams engine.
    Unmodified and in good nick. Has anyone here used sites like carswap.ie?
    And if so how did it work out for you?

    I also would like some suggestions for what I could hope to get in exchange.
    Would like something with decent performance. I don't drive much so petrol consumption is not a issue. And 2 seats is enough for me.

    1998cc Yamaha beams engine 108k kilometres on the clock. I paid €6,500 for it last December but I know most cars have lost a lot of value recently so I would be happy enough if I could get €5,000

    Was thinking of donedeal seems like good value for €3
    Will put on adverts also since it's free.

    just be aware that you will get some stupid offers of swaps from donedeal.ie, it can be very annoying, so much so I removed my number and left it email only

    some fella posted up an offer of 8k for my car, but that was on adverts, so the point is, dont get sucked into the tyre kickers out there!
