Meant to post that earlier and forgot.
Belongs to a fellow Boardsie aFlabbyPanda and he post it on Boardsie cars for sale earlier

I was also just about to post it here :pac:

Appears to be a great lot of car for the money especially with that recent work carried out.

A pair of 2006 SAAB 9-5's, both with long NCT's.

Diesel Auto, 02/22, 6 weeks tax, very nice colour combo. €1500

Have an 07 petrol, and she handles grand. Is silver, but would've liked black.

One thing, though. I see the sports button on the stick, but don't see shift paddles on the steering wheel? Mine does.

There's a month and a bit of tax left, and although the ad is 10 days it says on the ad that he had a new NCT booked for the 5th October. So I'm wondering if this failed the NCT? Something to be mindful of if someone is looking at it.

Cheap tax 2.4 d5 V50 with NCT til July 2021, €1950

Nice spec, decent bit of recent work done, original Irish.

I bought that while we were sorting a mortgage and I wanted an auto with traffic, but since covid I've been driving our main car and now my son wants to learn to drive so need a manual for him (i'd rather him not learn on the 'good' car).

The most the car needs is probably 2 tyres on the rear. Get 2 new for the front when I bought it and they've done less than 5000 miles.

Looks nice, pity no interior pics. If it was closer to Dublin I'd be very tempted by it.

I totally forgot to take them, will get them done today and up on DD.

Diesel 159 estate, only NCT'd til February 2021 but passed last month, so could probably be sent back through easy enough and get fifteen months.

Nice looking cat for the money, €1150.

I don't think he/she is highlighting one of the best features of that model, the front ;-)

See they are up now, looks well, bit of inevitable wear/staining on driver seat bolster but very hard not to have any on light colored leather. Shame your so far away from me.

Definitely, great looking cars from the front. Obviously an Alfa fan though looks like a Giulietta in the drive also.

26000 Elephants

They've either replaced it with a giulietta or it's a second car. Obviously have good alfa experience, a good sign.

It's strongly priced for the current market - its high enough miles, old tax and pretty basic interior. Worth a haggle, though.

I'm getting old. Can't believe the Aygo is around that long.

While the Panda SEEMS less modern its a better car in nearly every respect .Hard to imagine any manufacturer could ever beat the Aygo's penny pinching in having only one hanging string to support parcel shelf !(And the lack of lower hatchback-glass only- makes akward loads like washing machines unfeasible .)

for the Tesla S they didnt even bother to include 1 string.

That aygo looks like a bargain but have you ever driven one? It’s like a Flinstones car.

Yee would all laugh if you seen me in it... Did drive many years ago, wouldn't be something I could stock at.

Only new car I ever bought ...52 mpg average (best ever 54 and I drive like the proverbial nun and never in urban areas),nowhere near book figures.Nice three cylinder thrum ,but sadly lacking rev counter .Not as much fun to thrash as Panda which does same mpg .Both cars capable of high miles if maintained .Many Aygos had free clutch upgrade under warranty

3 cylinder and nice sounds don't go together at all..... Like nails on a black board.

I think there's a certain enjoyment in the sound of trashing a 3 cylinder!

colm_mcm

The Aygo is great craic because it’s just an unrefined little go kart. Pops and bangs off the exhaust.

Same engine in the Yaris or iQ is unacceptable.

The turbocharged 1.0 3 cylinder Kia/Hyundai engine has a lovely exhaust note.

Especially if it goes bang and dies with a cloud of white smoke...

There is a sale on in longford across the range.

I know duke posted to this a few weeks ago for sale at 999 at a dealership in dublin so they might have got it for 800 with a haggle.

Motorcheck or Cartell (or one of those sites) posted on Twitter not too long ago that there is a Nissan Sunny out there with 75 owners.

Funnily enough, of the four 26 owner cars in that link, one is a black 2003 X5 which I had about two weeks ago..

Would it have been owners or people changing owners to dodge tax?

bazz26

I'd say a lot of that is to avoid tax arrears especially on cars on high motor tax rates. People "selling" their car to their dog or goldfish and "buying" it back a week later.

True, wouldnt be a need for it, if the rates on many cars, werent so obscene. You can argue you know what you are getting before you buy with the tax though... the old system was convenient but ridiculous, drive a few months, go into garda station " oh my car was off the road" ...
