His name is Niamh here!

Yeah. Spotted that one too.

What had he to say?

His ads are distinctive, always has a couple of different cars advertised every few weeks. All under ladies names too! :P

He just didn't seem interested Duke. I rang about the Mondeo. I asked him a few basic questions and he wouldn't answer them really, just repeated what was in the ad. Ad says Westmeath but he says he only works in Mullingar but the car is in Edgeworthstown...he's clearly a Dub though.
He also said he had someone coming to view that evening but when I said I could be there around 2 he said he was going to Dublin and wouldn't be back.

Distinctive ads alright but always uses annoying filters on the photos which makes it impossible to make out whether the car is rough or not without downloading and zooming. Like the photo you posted of the Legacy. That damage on the front corner isn't obvious when looking at the ad.

They’re a great car, the brother had one back in the day.

They’re every bit as good as the Corolla of the day, and better in a lot of areas.

Thanks Colm, appreciate your input.
That was my experience of the older model to be honest.

I'm after an automatic estate in as low a tax band as possible and around the 2k mark if anyone comes across one.
Definitely with decent NCT and a bit of tax would be a bonus.
Mondeo or similar.
Something like this.....

I actually rang this guy...he didn't inspire confidence.

Mabey he's just an odd ball... Doesn't mean their is anything wrong with the car! Just bring a good mechanic with you... Then you won't be long figuring out what's what!

I bought a car from a certain gent in firhouse recently, a pure odd ball! Told me i wasn't interested in buying the car at all, i told him i didn't drive up from Tipp with a roll of 50's in my pocket for the laugh!

5 mins down the road he rings me back and accepts my offer... :rolleyes::D

I hate these small time dealers. I went to see a car a few months ago for my sister, an 05 fiesta priced at 1600 imagine. It was a tidy car but way over priced. I said it to him and he said, "I've been offered full price already by two people". Nearly fell over laughing, why in gods name was the car still for sale.

I'm sure he's lovely.....:D but he didn't even seem interested in me even looking at it.
I've had several experiences like you had too and going back to the time of the old Buy and Sell magazine. There's no accounting for people.:)

Nice bus if you can deal with the tax. Is 170k cause for concern though?

I was looking at that earlier. The 180k mileage wouldn't bother me but the tax and living with a 2.5l petrol would!:(

€1900 is too much for a 15 year old, high-tax, high miler. It might be worth it to a niche Subaru fan with a horse fetish, but that's a pretty narrow market!

Wheels are fab, though.

Why is this in the bangeromics thread?

It's a non starter, parts car with no NCT.

It was just from interest in a discussion earlier, connected to his search for a replacement bangernomics- he got an avensis in the end.

When it was first posted, I'm fairly sure it was €1650.
Could a post in this thread be worth an extra €250!?

Nice car, these always held a nice premium over the 5 door models. Pity the tax is that bit higher on them.

Passenger door was badly resprayed. Panoramic roof is brilliant on them, transforms them.
