    Gosh, I remember test driving one of these back in '87. It was the ultimate pocket rocket. Oh happy days!

    Hi There,

    This is my first posting on this thread. What about this car. 3 months tax = €186; Tank of fuel = €100 - Thats the guts of €300 straight away. Surely too good to be true??

    I'm always sceptical when I see photos of a car thats only just been washed. The wet surfaces can hide a multitude of problems and faded/damaged paintwork. You go to see it and it's nothing like the photos would have you believe. :rolleyes:

    Though having said that, for €600 beggars can't be too choosy so might be worth further investigation?

    Either the gauge is broken or that only has 3/4 of a tank in it. Mane hoor :D

    There's about €60 of petrol in the car and there are about 2.5 months tax left so not quite the guts of €300, but if everything works and the car has no major issues, it is quite a bargain indeed! Just passed the NCT which is a big advantage too (and easily verifiable)

    The ad is 11 days old though, why is no one biting? :confused:

    Saab Ed must be on his holidays :D

    If if just passed the NCT (in May...going by the ad) ..then why is it only good up to January 2013???...shouldn't you get at least a full year?

    You get a full year from when the test was due. The car was tested late (overdue), so it got less than a full year :)

    If I hadn't brought a 9-3 5 weeks ago I'd be around there today looking at that 9000. If it's technically OK I'd take it, to hell with a few scratches, very classy cars in their day and they have aged very well IMO.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,737 ✭✭✭MidlandsM


    all this chatter about a car being pictured in a DD ad with a full or 3/4 tank of fuel.......let me tell you one thing boardsies as a car dealer.........any car I'm marketing may or could possibly have a full tank of fuel pictured, but by the time I sell it, It'll have the RESERVE fuel light on!

    Never bank on it coming with a full tank......and with the price of fuel that way it is, you'll not haggle it into any deal on a cheap car.....(not with me anyways) lol

    Time for a bangernomics change. I posted about wanting a van. The girlfriend has heard my plan and promptly told me "NO CHANCE".

    If she was ugly she'd be gone.

    I've decided to settle for a commercial jeep now. Any ideas.

    Also here is my Bangernomics offering. It's my car.

    Looks like a UK car from the plate, insist on full history with UK reg or Cartell check.

    Thanks for that. In fairness to him he told me that the car came from the UK about 3 years ago so he was up front on that score.

    Says he has a full history from the UK side of things.

    How could you tell just for me own info?

    Cheers

    The fact that its high spec, lol.

    Remember they're taxed as a 2.3, and also remember to do your own indepensant Uk check.

    OUCH.... thanks for letting me know 2.3 eh

    That's 925 a year.... :)

    Its currently taxed and has just gone through the NCT so it should be ok no?

    Seems like a lovely car:


    Full-12809109.jpeg
    http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3600574

    I rang about and have even toyed with buying it until I knocked sense into myself that I don't need an Audi 80. If it is still for sale by Monday, I think I might go and look at it, so please someone... do me a favour.

    Full service history, seems to be in good nick, timing belt done, 4 good tyres, and going for an NCT tomorrow (Friday), so potential 12 months of that.

    It has more presence than the A4 that replaced it IMO.

    if you don't mind looking like a tit, here's 9 months NCT and a sliver of tax in a proven very reliable car for €170

    if you wanted a town car you could just start it in second and go everywhere in second :pac:

    Ah..........the lady is dictating your choice of vehicle!!!!!
    Commercial Jeeps tend to be thirsty ,expensive to run, tyres are expensive, and finally unless your occupation warrants use of a commercial vehicle you will need ,surprise surprise, to pay the appropriate private road tax. Example if the jeep is 3 litre the road tax is €1390 for 12 months!
    Stick with your car it will be a lot less hassle .
    Best wishes

    Price: € 1,100

    With no NCT, tax and an obvious 16v engine swap, my guess is the poor car has had a hard enough life and would require more than a bit of tlc to put back right.

    Half that asking price is still too much for a car like that. A tip top 106GTI fetches approx €1500 - €1800 for a late example, for example.

    It is irrelevant what it says on the tax book. If it is a GTI and this info is not disclosed to the Insurance Company, I understand it may invalidate any future claim in the event of an accident. I think they would call it Non-Disclosure????

    600 Euro. Be tempted myself but no mention of NCT (I assume window fault would be a fail) and I don't want to pay the tax on a 1.8. fulloi.jpg.

    Id say those nice 17" alloys would be worth 200 alone. Picture is link.

    Make a good track day car, at €600 I assume there is a hidden problem apart from no NCT and high mileage.

    Nice. Automatic too!

    How did it get an NCT till '14 though? It's an '03, so presumably NCT was due in '11 and would have been valid for 2 years.

    Unless the car was first registered in December '03, then the current NCT will be valid until December '13, or nearly '14? The owner putting on a slightly positive spin? :D

    No mention of SH though...

    Hi I think your right about everything there except the "engine swap"

    Id put my money on it being an original factory 1.6 gti 16v.
    The lack of Gti on the logbook probably came about when imported into Ireland & VRT office either didnt enter all info or whomever VRT-ed it didnt mention the Gti 16v part to get cheaper VRT rate..

    PS I am also a Fiat fanboy- have sold my Fiat Coupe 20vt & Im after a Cinq or Seicento or Punto Sporting to fill the void if anyone has anything @ €500 ish..

    Thanks lads this in my fav thread on motors forum by a mile:cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,412 ✭✭✭andyseadog


    if the price came down to 1500 or so, it might fall into the bangernomics category.

    10 months test, 3 months tax, 4 new tyres, arguably a good looking car. wild card all the same

    Also a great avenue into civic & vtec territory without the stigma, integra sir engine in them iirc?

    Looks like a nice example, lots of history shown in one pic, if my circumstances were different i'd definitly be looking at that :o

    I did indeed realise afterwards that yes, it may be an import put down as a non GTI on the book...

    I had a broom yellow Sporting up untill April, sold to another member on here :cool:

    Would this fit the build? You might get it for €500 cash (bumpers have me baffled though, looks like it had an Abarth kit and was sold separately :()

    It must have fetched a pretty penny if justified to take it off the car... :eek:

    Had 2 Sportings, mk1 and mk2, both broom yellow. My dad bought the mk1 outright off me, I had the mk2 since 2009, sold earlier this year... I'm sure you'll see it in some of the other threads, it has a blue bonnet! :o

    Sei's are lovely and cheap, if this one is still for sale might be worth a punt, looks like a straight example :)
