    Right lads, how does this sound?

    A very tidy Mitsubishi Spacestar 2003 1.3 petrol with 135k miles. She's serviced and had the Tbelt done. I know for a fact she's only had two owners and I know of them well. She's got a few months tax and test, I can't remember the exacts but it's around 3-4 months.

    I can get it for around €1500.

    It's a grand or so, 1500 is probably all the way. Not the worst yoke ever and reliable enough.

    The alloys on the peugeot would lead you to believe its been driven into the ground but actually it looks really tidy.


    Looks tidy all right, but only 59k Miles?
    Seems a bit low for a 98....

    Cheers! he was looking 1700 but will go for 1500. Taillight warranty though.

    I know the guy very well and I'm sure he wouldn't sell me a lemon.

    Had a space star before. Reliable enough. Bit sluggish though taking off. There ain't that much extra space in them.

    Honestly I don't really need the extra space and I wouldn't be too worried about power. If she can sit at 60mph without drinking too much petrol and stay on the road without much maintenance then I'm a happy camper.

    A 156 with 118k on the clock is hardly cheap at 2 grand. They may need to drop that down a bit.

    As with most of the stuff in this thread, the asking price is quite on the optimistic side, folks expect possible buyers to haggle in the majority of cases.

    Price of the car? free.

    The catch? you must but the banded steelies - 550 euro.
    No N.C.T or tax.

    The work for the test doesn't seem big though,
    Needs a few bits, drivers seatbelt, and someone who is handy at wiring, brake lights and indicators not working, very easy fix for someone who knows wiring(not me).

    If the C5 is in everyday use it has to have tax unless he's breaking the law.

    Okay, stick with me here. This guys trying to sell this (Audi S3) for ages now and the price keeps coming down. While its still well in excess of the BGN zone, my bet is it'll be bought in the end for well under 2 grand. For anybody interested, I'd be keeping an eye on this one ......

    Nice, but I hate this though:
    Not down as s3 on log book easy to insure
    Easy way to void/invalidate your insurance....

    Not your ornery onager

    Not really if you tell the insurance company what it actually is. Half the Jap imports that came over in the 90's had mis-information on the logbooks. Starlet GT only saying 1.3 on the book, Pulsar's and Evo's only mentioning engine capacity and not trim or in some cases even having the body type correct. Sure how many cars these days have the body type as "other"?

    Once you're honest with the insurance company you have no problem. If you're going to take advantage of the model type missing on the book to save a few quid, then you know what you're doing and you deserve for your insurance to be voided.

    No problem with the insurance. But you're committing fraud in relation to motortax. Fraud is a serious offence - you could go to jail over that!

    Who's committing fraud? Engine capacity is one of the few things thats on every logbook, and its on engine capacity that motortax is paid. :confused:

    A Starlet Turbo is 1.3 on the book - legal motortax
    An S3 is going to be 1.8 on the book - legal motortax
    An Evo is going to be 2.0 on the book - legal motortax

    The 1.8T engine in that S3 is the same tax rate as any other 1.8 A3 be it turbo or non turbo

    Also, when the shoe is on the other foot and they tax your 1.3 RX-7 or RX-8 as a 1.8 , its not classed as fraud then is it

    When you defraud the government it's a serious offence. When the government defrauds you, Bend Over!
