I love them! Not sure why they don't feature more TBH and that one is really nice looking. A good find!

Too expensive for a good example normally. Any decent example will be beyond 2 litre tax

But if people want to pay extra for the badge, we can certainly throw more up, just don't expect many great cars

guys i pulled an primera 1.6, nct to july, tax end of the month, great tyres, running fine, (today anyways), for a little over 400 lids, thanks to all who helped, i will need you again.

That's what its all about,
I bagged a 2001 Volvo V40 last Feb for 1400 and it never missed a beat, absolute minter..

IS200's don't feature as much as SAABs here.. any reason they're not as loved?

Because they're a good reliable car,

hard to be an expert pontificating on what goes wrong on them , when they don't go wrong.

Then again he had an induction kit, dust bin exhaust and was quiet keen on the peddle on the right so probably his own downfall.

For one to fall into bangernomics it would usually be victimised as above and would probably cost at least asking again just to put right.

They're a 6 cylinder, that's why they like their juice.

they also come with a 4 pot yamaha beams engine too, but mpg wise it make near as no difference, as it's hard too

But they are Toyotas with a Toyota badge, the others are Toyotas with a Lexus badge

Oooh, defensive, wha?

Was only responding to the other post. The 4 pot beams engine is in the Toyota Altezza, not the Lexus IS200 (same car otherwise)

just a nice little bangernomics update on the yaris. what better bangernomics car for toyotafanbois mammy than a yaris

gave out €550 for it with a new NCT and... not much else :P
passed the test, i can only asume because a priest blessed it before hand.

So, pottered away at it,
-oil and filter change and new plugs
-fitted a new headunit because the original one wouldn't receive FM stations
-fitted a second hand front bumper because some previous owner painted the original one gloss black with a brush :rolleyes:
-fitted a second hand driver side wing liner because it was just missing
-fitted 2 tyres and rims from a scrap yard (hankooks, virtually new thread depth, dated 16th week 2012) because the old ones on the front were perished, one was balding on one edge and had a slow puncture
-buffed the yellow ****e off of the headlights
-washed the interior and the carpets which were unbelievably dirty
-new set of tesco value front mats

despite how it looked, it had a full history to 100k miles, and its at 113k now.

i had a service kit at home so that was "free". paid €60 for the head unit and associated wiring, €100 in the breakers for front bumper, wing liner and 2 rims and tyres (and a few other trim pieces and bits) and €65 on 3 months tax.

so for €775 i give you :
a car that will last my mammy potentially years

Sleepy

Well wear.

Some back to black for that bumper ?

ah sure if it stopped raining for 5 fecking minutes i might have a chance :pac:

the old bumper was plenty black, actually looks quite well in the photo but it was horrific, full of drips, globs and brush strokes :P

Very tidy little car, you did well. Hope your mum appreciates you

In the same way that a Skoda is an Audi , Chrysler is a Merc and a Ferrari is and Alfa. And thats not me getting defensive either. Like I said before, the sheer stupidy of that comment nets me a bargain every year just because most people think that way. Its great

But if anything was gonna tempt me away from my bargain Saabs, it might just be one of these Talbots .....

How dare you be a fanboi on this forum?? Did you not know being a fanboi isn't allowed...:D:pac:

Still, I dream of a nice comfy Saab sometimes when I'm crashing around on my suspension-less Alfa... I'd love an older 9-5 estate 2.3T... Mmmmm

I just want the turbo from a 9-5....

I acquired the one in picture on Christmas eve for 450€
It looks a bit better than in pictures but still rough and tired.
Anyway, the engine sounds healthy and is pulling strong so will be used in my 03 one I got while ago. Somebody will then buy the car with no engine from me for 300€. Hopefully the transfer will be done this weekend.

Why?

Weight based the scrap value is nearly €200. Surely someone looking for a few parts will go the extra €100?
