At that price I'd nearly run a reg check with the Guards first.

Does look very cheap but plenty of them cars going for slightly more money, theres little demand at all for these cars now so I'd say the chap just wants rid of in a short space of time, it is an almost 13 year old car at the end of the day.

Those cars are very comfy! Nice one. Probably get it for 7 if you haggle the tax if it has none.

I would touch one of those, apparently the electrics were veerryy bad until much later in the 00's.

You should go for it. Get the electrics fixed up and nct'd and you could make a grand on it. That's provided that the ecu numbers match with your buddy's ecu. If not you are looking at aprox €300 fro replacement ecu, key, barrel and steering lock set.
That should be your last resort though when fixing the electrics.
I doubt he would let the car go for €700 though.

Hmmm, on the face of it maybe. I wonder though if it could end up being a bottomless money pit. As Limerick Man mentions and have heard a few times before the electrics are known to be a problem area and expensive to rectify. Curiosity killed the cat, I went onto 123.ie and got a quote of less than 500 for myself for TPF&T, was pleasantly surprised
