Alfa 159 estate for €975, with a NCT to Feb 2021

That was up about 2 weeks ago here for 1150
At nearly 200 quid cheaper now, it's definitely looking like a good deal
The NCT was only done recently and as it's out in Feb it could nearly be put through again in a fortnight for a good long NCT

He indicated yes, he'd take 2k if offered,

Just sold! He accepted a fraction over 2k from the first viewer!

Looks very abused and unloved. Even at that money.

That used to be my wife's car ... was very loved at the time.. immaculate condition when traded in 2012.. it loved petrol ... 1.7 engine and the aerodynamics of a brick meant very poor MPGs on the motorway!

Whoever had it after her didn’t give it the same love.

Bulletproof, ultra reliable motor, 12 months NCT, 6 months tax for €2,200. Has a dent in the boot though. Check the tyres to see what brand is on them to see how well they were looked after. Might be of interest to someone. Little deprciation over the next couple of years either way.

Crazy crazy money. I absolutely guarantee that car is stinking with exhaust fumes from that mangled boot lid.

Duke O Smiley

Yeah, that is more like Carina II money to me. Behind the fancy pictures it’s a rough(ish) old not-yet-classic Carina IMO.

Toyotafanboi

I think the Carina would be about right at €1950 if the boot wasn't cream crackered? Shame, nice yoke.

NCT guys were all over complimenting it during recent test.

I'm sold.

Seller is psychologically on another planet, in fairness.

He's claiming that all the testers stopped working to stand around an old Toyota Carina mid-test to complement it, sure they did buddy!

You’re from up that way. Would a Carina E not be considered exotica up there?

This would interest me far more than that Carina - XLi saloon with 87k miles, bit of NCT (January), €1200

Longer test would be ideal but not a deal breaker really, you don't see many decent examples of these any more

Toyotafanboi

Looks like the car was only tested in August this year and has only done 150 miles since.

That looks great.

I'm extremely dizzy after looking at the photos.... I don't feel well

Looks nice and straight too which would give me some inkling that it isn't just tarted up and polished within an inch of its life for the photos

Toyotafanboi

The only thing is, red with the black bumpers would have to be the hardest combination to keep looking well if you plan on dailying it.

The red would go flat and the bumpers would fade. A metallic car with colour coded bumpers would be for me

Those pics look more like Dublin to me. I'd imagine that carina hasn't been in the west long.

Photo 5 is making my dizzy.
The wheel being rotated exactly 180 and then photo upside down
Has to be deliberately done!

It does have the vibe of a back in the day convent car or priests etc.....

Remember they were the car they near all had.

That would explain the stain on the drivers seat

Is this the COVID extension? All cars get an extra 4 months? When it was last tested is what I want to know when buying a car, not how long I can not do it again.
