    2002 Mondeo Estate
    2 keys
    High spec with leather, sunroof, aircon etc
    Has a remote controlled Kenwood touch screen stereo also and fitted with a towbar ;)
    Still has NCT until middle of October and taxed until the end of October
    Would get somebody out of bother for small money
    Asking €375

    Not many of these left around!
    2000 Citroen Xantia diesel
    Says 1 owner, but owner changed in 2014, so not sure what the story is there
    Has NCT until May 2021 with the covid extension
    The suspension spheres were replaced last year and states that it has full history also
    Asking €600 but surely would be bought for 500

    1996 Toyota Corolla Estate with 1 genuine owner from new (checks out)

    I replaced a circuit board/amplifier on my fathers A4 above the rear window to get his radio reception back a while ago and it cost nearly 50% of that A4 on Ebay just for that part! Ive ordered many times that amount of stuff off Micksgarage for him over the last few years just to keep his going...

    Does the NCT.ie have a means of checking validity of NCT cert on the Serial number only?

    Why would someone be so paranoid about hiding reg on a 500 euro car?

    Donedeal verifies the NCT info when you input the reg when placing the ad, so it is legit.

    Some people are just paranoid. €500 or €50,000 they’ll hide the reg.
