car looks nice but whats the deal with the NCT? how come its never been nct'd? and why do you think its so cheap? is it just the simple fact its an import? how can you check if it has been imported?

cheap cos of no NCT possibly ?

you can check lots of things on places like motocheck.ie and cartell.ie and so on.

if you are going to look at it i just say bring a mechanic !

Hmmmm. odd that it doesnt have a NCT on a 05.

Looks like a dealer is selling it going by the tag on the key

Also missing front fog lights

For Forks Sake

Going by the reg alone, I doubt that's an import

I reckon a main dealer took that in in part-ex and sold it out to the trade. A service history would make me feel a lot better about it - maybe give the seller a call? I'd certainly do all the checks and have it thoroughly examined before putting down money.

Trade price with nct is lower than that. Could've picked up one this time last year with less mileage same year for 2500 with nct

if you were to pay €35 for every car you looked at you'd be broke as fark!
surely making these services cheaper would get alot of dodgy,crashed,botch jobbed shlte boxes off the road, making roads safer?

i doubt its an import.RHD with mileage shown in Km. If it will pass NCT so easily, why doesnt the seller just NCT it and get a bit more dosh for it. Could have been on a forecourt since the NCT was due I guess.

Thats true but the Ad says the car was never tested unless its parked since 09???

Agreed, strange as its cheap to do the NCT, as long as car is straight.
Sounds odd, If he put it through, he should easily get his cost back.

Car checks are provided by businesses, not social services.;)

I'm aware of that.I suppose it would be asking a lot of an Irish government to actually pick up on the benefits of something like this.
Checks like this could/should be made available through the "squeaky clean" NCT centres!!!;)
