1995 220 CE, Auto, 05/16, €1750 and 4 weeks tax as a sweetener.

Nice AMG monoblocks, need to check what the "rust spots" are. Seems to be an honest ad all the same.

Elegant car. I'm not a wheel person, but I love those monoblocks. Pure understated class.

Car has been for sale for 50 days though. That's not a good sign, is it?

Leather and an auto.

Are you sure all RAV4s were 4WD?

I know some weren't.

Guys if someone arrives out today or tomorrow with 2k( no less)id take it for my A3, I'm about to lose the car I really want. If it doesn't sell I'll be taking it down and keeping it.

I would say it's a banger either but it's great bangernomics. Good test, but of tax, nice history, lots of goodies!

I'm about to head over to naas from Westmeath if anyone want to view it. Better off getting me on the phone too.

^^ that's the one with the problematic 1.6 isn't it?
That Audi is well worth the 2k IMO - hope you get it shifted. What are you replacing it with?

Polo GTI, I'd probably get a little bit more if I wait it out but nothing else tickles my fancy. It's never given problems and ticks all my boxes but I fancy a change now. We all know how that is!

No tax, so that puts it well over the 'Nomics limit.

Nice enough looking wagon, but I wouldn't have another red car if you paid me.

That's my baby

Very sad to let it go. Tax went last day of August, and the bonnet paint ain't in the best nick, so price is negotiable.

But maaan, occasional trips coast-to-coast become a pleasure rather than a chore. Can't believe I'm thinking of downgrading to an Almera or something...

I'd take the something . An almera is more than a downgrade.

Pulsarnomics

I tried getting insurance on similar a few months ago.

An automatic Impreza 1.5 litre. And boy was it painful...it didn't matter that it was a 1.5 or even an automatic. They kept saying the word "Japanese" to me and giving me even more extortionate quotes than usual. I can only imagine similar with that pulsar...rendering it effectively a write off.

Oh I was interested in the Impreza because I have a bad leg and needed a runabout for a few weeks. I know the engine and box are god awful :P
