At least I know their is a slight bit of rust near the wiper!

The lads into the modified car scene will be queing up for this one :cool:

robtri

god i want to run out and buy it...

Stevie Dakota

Restoration? It was a POS at launch.

Max_Damage

He put more pics up. €1,200 for that lump of scrap!?

Max Power1

Haha, thats the worst ad ever. The title of this thread was not misleading!

Barr

Ah the old trusty 1.6d vw unit , it was faster walking.

I can definately think of better ways of spending €1,200 alright. As for worst ad on donedeal ever, I'm sure it may well be up there, but there would be some bloody downright bad other contenders on donedeal for that trophy!

allthedoyles

What a waste of €3 putting that ad on done deal .

He could have bought a quick-pick , and you never know , it might have been him .

Dravokivich

Didn't realise '85s would come with a drvier side airbag... they should of listed that as an extra...

:pac:

StereoLove

All that's worth is €500!!

Jimmy Bottlehead

Might be worth the cash, they don't build 'em like they useta :P

Divorce Referendum

Bit of wax polish and she would be grand:D

Corkladddd!!

It's up there for worst ad but its missing a few crucual lines at the bottom.......

starlet, corsa focus diesel petrol tdi red i 200sx 320 s14 s15 s13 180sx golf passat etc

biko

I can think of a fair few cars I rather spend 1200 on, all working perfectly fine
It's not even a good classic.

The ad owner's having a bubble isn't he??:P

743 views in 4 hours, the seller probably thinks there is a great interest in his car should we e-mail him a link to this page to kill his excitement? That thing will never be on the road again.

Aww - don't be wicked! Poor guy's all excited!!

Ricardo G

You may think he's a fool for asking that kinda money....BUT.... I bet out of the 743 views he's had there's another fool willing to give him 1200!!:D

djimi

Hes updated it with more pictures; its basically rust held together with flaking paint :eek: Most of it is missing!

its a cavan reg , maybe that explains it ?

alias no.9

**** me, that is a pile of ****. If he takes off the tyres, removes the battery and drains the fuel tank, then tows it to a scrap yard, he might be lucky to get €50.

Doubt it to be honest.

I think the fella put a few too many 0's TBH. In his excitement, he got carried away...:cool:

Heh heh I decided to enquire a little more:

Hey, saw the ad. What kind of mileage does she have? Would you be willing to knock a bit off the price?
Regards
Tony.

Hi, there is 66K shown on the clock but I can't tell if thats genuine , I
would say there is more. It has been off the road for 10 years and had some
engine work done not too long before that.
Give me a call if you want to view the car
_____________________________________________________________

Lol he sounds like he is actually serious! I wonder what this engine work entails. What should I ask next (assuming he does not find this thread):

I'm thinking - "Is she NCT'ed?" Or perhaps "Any chance of a test-drive?"

wandatowell

the ad alone is worth more than that heap of junk

Heh heh the response I sent:

Thanks for the reply. Is it NCT'ed and if not when did it expire? Would you be willing to throw in some new alloys? I'd be available to test drive it at the weekend if suits?
Thanks
T

x in the city

a test drive to where, id say that wouldnt move a foot

this should be stickied, i sense a epic popcorn feast

Barr

Please someone offer him asking price , before its snapped up.

robbie_998

ask him has it got an alarm and immobilizer just in case someone tries to steal it :pac::pac::pac:

tommy21

Will post responses as they come in and hopefully try and get a bit of mileage out of it

To late- someone already whipped the front tyres

tommy21

Also if anyone wants to collaborate as a phantom bidder, I'd be happy to discuss via pm once next reply comes in

Barr

I wonder if James Egan could deliver to Cork

robbie_998

ah now i see how it moves..

for those who haven't bothered to look at the pics or who are not good with cars there is no engine in it

but

im almost certain the seller made a big hole in the driver floor so you can still move the car.

as so.......

Na not NCT'd, I could throw in a set of GTI alloys at extra cost, drop over
anytime , help me bleed the pump and we can take her for a spin.
J.

Extra cost! Lol reply I sent:

Well I wouldn't know much about mechanics now, so not sure what you mean by bleed the pump - we can always go to a local garage for petrol instead? How much of an extra cost are we talking about? I think my offer to pay 90% of your asking is fair enough. I'll tell you what though, I'm a carpenter by trade. I could make you up a nice few boards or a dresser maybe instead?
Best

We'll have to go with this ad:
Not only is it the least desirable Triumph ever, it has been converted to diesel to make it completely pointless:

He couldn't even be bothered to remove the Kitkat wrapper and general junk from seats in third picture. Maybe he is trying to tell us something - "The car will break - have a Kitkat?"

dr.fuzzenstein

It just gets better!
Why not buy a bare, rusted out shell for €1200?
http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/vintagecars/1438088

Is it just me, or are there nothing but insanely overpriced sheds for sale on donedeal?
I always wondered how classic cars in Ireland cost 10 times the price compared to the UK?
And are always complete sheds?
