Unless you were going to get classic insurance, clean it up and only take it out the odd Sunday, that car is pretty much useless.
A waste of 500 lids really without a test. Well, if you could afford the tax, fuel and costs to get it a test, fair play.
I know its cheap, but there is a good reason.
Not really BNomics imo.

You could put your own stickers on it and look like Delboy?

For someone like myself, who collects luxobarges, it's a viable option. Granted not practical or cheap to run but if I had the room and spare cash I'd snap that up. It's a lot of car for not a lot of money

Out of interest, would you lads recommend a bangernomics car as a first car?

I'd say majority of folk here has had a banger as a first car, unless your the 1%, go for it

My first car was free and my first insured car I assembled myself :pac:

Keep watching out in this thread for Fiestas, crackin little car they are and often go for peanuts

cson

The reason I ask is I'll be buying in September-ish and whilst I'd love one of the Saab/Volvo luxobarges and could afford the tax on them unfortunately the €10k or so insurance they'd likely quote a 24yr old I can't afford. [Out of interest, I imagine if something goes wrong with that type of car they cost a fortune to put right, well the parts would be more expensive anyway?]

I'd rather have something different than a cheapie reliable Festy but the options appear limited :P

padma

starting out small is a wise move cson, you can get handy at driving, keep your costs low and learn a bit about the car, at the end of the day you have the ability to get from A to B which is what it's all about really. If your out to impress the lads and lassies pulling up in a big luxobarge one week, and the next week they hear its fell apart on you, it dont look good :pac:, safe bet is a corrolla they're handy, cheap to keep running and aren't extra loaded for insurance. The 1.3 pre 97 are a great yoke but get a good mechanic whom you trust to suss one out for you, so you'll have trouble free cheap motoring.

There's a lot of options out there, keep looking over the next while and see where you are.

cson

Cheers padma, should mention that I'm not new to the game, have 5 years named experience so hopefully that'd count in my favour.

padma

ah sure, you'll be grand so, it will hold to you when it comes to your first insurance. tbh, insurance aint that bad I've been on the cheap with cars the past 6 years or so and always under a grand. Always bought through people I knew in the trade who set me right. The one time I didn't I ended up with a lemon which thought me what to look out for

VW Polo Estate. Handy yokes for moving stuff around. Knock the price down to about 700 and it'd be a sweet deal. At least for me... If I had money.

And a nice 626 for 445euro with a years NCT.

The Polo was a token thing by the way.

If you have a full license and 5 years named driver experience a policy on a Saab or Volvo 2.0 wouldn't be so bad me thinks.
Regarding costing a fortune to put right, it depends what goes wrong.

Jag X-Type for €999. No tax or NCT, could be dodgy (probably is..)

MidlandsM

wonder what the crack with the jag is?
