I'd love this yoke... Bag it for €900 and spend a few quid getting it back to it's best and keep it for the next 10-15 years until it's nearly a classic..

It's a V12 7er with 6 months NCT for a grand like....:eek::cool:

:cool::cool:

Love the original alloys, looks great. I want:cool:

Would the top end Laguna model have leater upholstry I would have thought? Even in 1.6 guise

Beep beep. I like these Polos, cheap to run, etc. It's got 4 doors, piece of piss to park and taxed + Nct for 6 months.

Grab it for 450 and its pretty good motoring, in my honest opinion.

But hey, why listen to me?

Here, have a jap ****box for your troubles then.

1.3 "bulletproof" engine, NCT for 4 months. 500eur

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4125856



And from France a rather sparse, but nice looking 206 with NCT til next april. 500 notes.

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4146072



But for nice driving, I would go for this Renault Laguna. 420, test til April...

Seriously lads, I don't see how anything economically sound can be construed out of an 18 year old BMW 730, you will pay more on a year's tax than the car will ever be worth and that's before you even take in juice and repairs. If you want to see what a 7 series is like, go for a test drive or lease one for a month, either option makes more sense economically.

You could make a lovely sitting room suite with the napa leather seats 12 v electrics and all
consisting of 2 armchairs plus a 3 seater a la top gear.

Then you could use the engine as a lovely base for a cool coffee table ,

sell off the other parts for more than the asking price

, is this not economically sound

obviously you are confused what "bangernomics" mean

No, I think bangernomics means any functional car, with test and preferrably tax that can be bought for small money, kept for a year max and sold on for what you paid for it, or as close as possible.

I think there needs to be a second thread for badge fanboys who want to drive the 20 year old version of a car they can't afford.

To use a football analogy, it's a bit like signing Roberto Baggio for £1m cause he would have cost 10 times that 20 years ago. I'd say buying a decent championship striker for the same money, giving him a chance and if it doesn't work out flogging him back to the Championship for £800k would be a bit more economically wise.

But you're missing the point that its the experience of the car, or in your analogy, the person, that makes it worthwhile.

It's not a perfect world, I admit, but I like the idea of getting a car and driving it into the ground. Maybe that makes me a nihilist actually... Hmm.

That 03 Laguna, I wouldn't go near it especially with that spartan interior.... I wouldn't go for one again. Full stop.

This is a much better prospect:
NCT till Sept, 1395


Not flawless but a damn sight better!

NCT till Jan, 900

I wonder what it could be....

Top end should have full leather, sunroof, 17" alloys and possibly sat-nav.

The mid-range model had the all round electric windows so the only thing it really has is the digital air-con. :rolleyes:

That shine could easily be retained with a decent polish and sealant/wax. Looks clean, I like the S3 alloys. I spent months looking for a set for mine a few years back.

Edit: the passenger wheel looks destroyed
