Anything will sell quickly when its priced right... Some people don't seem to mind sitting and waiting for big money... There's places full of cars for that reason.

The former would be my way of thinking....

It still has to be priced right... Yes i agree there is people now off loading their second car and cutting out the running cost of it....

206 GTI estate, NCT til 2/21, looks tidy, €1950

Bit dear, but worth including for rarity/novelty value.

Ah I see. Makes sense. Might be a good replacement for our 05 corolla hatch. Probably as fuel efficient and reliable?

Yep.

Near half a mill km.... They can do it though....

Wife is planning on going back driving, has to unfortunately start from scratch so lost all no claims and theory etc.... Done a few dummy quotes and getting none.

She is snookered I'd say to something newer then 15 years old.... Want her in something nice, catchy and different.....

She keeps looking up random absolutely vile sheds and sh1t boxes and basically has no tasste in cars

I got rid of second car years ago due to no need but always kept alternating the insurance between O/H and myself every two years to always have both no claims bonus active, spent long enough getting it!

If you want something super cheap to insure, look at an Aygo/C1/107. Seem to be looked upon very favourably by the insurance cartel

I've trade so wasn't an option, she was meant to keep it going and kept it from me, licence expired 7 years ago.... Learner

They make sure not to show the reg plate in the photos... Then show it on the nct disc..

Import...wonder what a check reveals.

wonski

With almost 500k km on the clock and clear declaration in the ad that it was used as a taxi I doubt this was deliberate. Meaning hiding anything at all.

Some people just don't show the reg in the ad for unknown reasons, but if you are interested you can call and ask for the reg.

Privacy gone mad or whatever.

With that mileage, ex taxi and import status it will be difficult to sell.

Very difficult.

Try quotes on its4woman...funny enough every time you add some xtra cover option you get an ilogical cheaper quote...I started on near 1000 eur for third party and after 10 minutes doing changes I got full comprensive all included for 700 eur

I would suggest a 2013/2014 vw up for better price

Fiat Panda 4x4. NCT March 2021. Tax til Oct 2020.

€750.

Unbelievable find, I think. I'd love it. So hard to find. Beats a LandRover all day long in the rough stuff. Not as a load carrier or towing :-) But a mighty little machine and so hard to find. Summer bargain.

Anyone here?

If I didn't have a CRV, I'd have bought that in a heartbeat. Always wanted one. So rare to find an old one, never mind ticking all the boxes at 750.

Was pretty much the exact same situation. Maximum 10 year old car and maximum 1.2 engine got best results. FBD were easily the best quotes.

Thanks, looking on the phone i thought it looked like the i-shift stick. Looks a clean car.

Those Civic saloons have aged very well . That 08 look a particularly good example.

bazz26

I know it's a 12 year old car and it won't be perfect but that Civic looks to have got a nice rear ending to me. The rear bumper looks a lighter shade of silver, it's not lined up with the rest of the bodywork properly, the boot lid shut lines don't line up with the bumper and the boot interior trim is hanging out at the opening also:





Also if you look into the boot where the bumper is bolted to the body you can cracks in the plastic around the bolts just below the light fittings. That has me thinking they were trying to force the bumper to line up with the boot.

Barr

That is great observation work , could save someone a trip if they saw the car on here and were thinking about it.

Yeh...with the photo I don't think they're trying to hide it - price reflects this imo. NCT isn't that new like is claimed though so wonder will it pass next time round.
