If it fails the NCT on something serious, you've just wasted the guts of €1.5k (before even taxing or insuring it)

Ridiculous risk to be taking in my book...

On the other hand if you live in Donegal / Sligo / Mayo and the like . . . . . .


. . . . . cheap motoring for €800 for a tax dodger with balls of steel

W123-80's

Full service history
Very low miles.
Brand new test till April 2014
Probably a bit expensive but if the miles and history check out its well worth close to asking.

Great value there imo.
I was looking at an s60 (02) with slightly more miles for the same price. Same engine, but it looked a lot more dated than the S80 - athough a dark color will do that on some cars.
Pitty that car is at the other end of the country to me. Otherwise I would be taking a spin in it tomorrow.

NCT until 7/13 for me means more or less no NCT. Not really bangernomics without that.

€2k buys better IMO.

It does have a short NCT but has plenty of Tax left over and supposedly a Full Service History and low-ish miles.

Tbh Very little goes wrong with these cars and they usually don't take much to get through an NCT, Still I would be pushing the owner to NCT it before purchase as it's nearly within the 3 months early test period.

IMO If a potential buyer goes in with their eyes open this could turn out to be a great bangernomics car.

Redisle

IS200 with NCT 4/14 for €1200


Xantia Estate with NCT 5/14 for €695

dgt

^^^^
Another IS200! :eek:

Also, was behind that exact Xantia yesterday on the North Quays :eek::eek::eek: I remember it because it's quite rare to see one in estate guise.... Only to see another one further down, a HDi this time

Looked rather clean either way

Top Dog

Wording is a little ambiguous, but my reading of it is that it passed the NCT 2 months ago and hence should have a decent length left. Wondering if heating up could simply be a thermostat/radiator issue rather than gasket worry?

Granted its the weedy 1.6, and reasonably high miles, but if it does have test and the heating is a small issue then I reckon you could do a lot worse for €650

Nct till Feb 14 on that BMW

Overheating rules it out for bangeromics though.

Might be just the viscous fan coupling

Regardless of the root cause of the heating issue the possibility it's been cooked is quite high and hard to access pre purchase.

This looks potentially decent...........

Please no "Best Price" questions over the phone without seeing it. This is one of the good one's!

Price: € 1,950... "

149k miles but I imagine there's be a little bit off come haggle time post viewing

Not a car that'll be in much demand but for people who want some V6ness in their life it might appeal...

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4928267



95K miles, NCT until Santa time, asking €1450.


2001 Carisma with an NCT for a year, 88k miles asking €1099...






For someone doing a decent commute who wants a cheap yoke, 2000 Focus diesel with 11 months NCT, 102k miles and the seller claims the belt was done at 100k miles Asking €1400 which isn't overly cheap but if the car is genuine it's not too bad.

I imagine you're right

Wouldn't be too worried about the 149k miles if it runs well and you get the impression it has been maintained. These 6 pots are strong and should take another 100-150k miles. I'd be a bit more worried about the life of the box...

Cantona's Collars

Slightly over the 2k limit but open to offers.

1.6l 02 Impreza with NCT.
