Went and viewed this and bought it for €350
1.4 tdi nct'd until jan 2022. Had a new clutch last year, 4 new tyres. Needed a good clean and will need a service and drop links but nothing major. Cheap motoring

Well done! Proper bangernomics motoring!

Folks, anyone for a bangernomics convertible?

Indoor Megane, claimed small mileage.

@yamaha4life you got to let us know the mpg on that or klms to a €10 juice - whatever way you want to do it

I reset the obc when i put €20 in and averaged 60mpg on the drive home, i was surprised at that as the roads were fairly hilly/twisty roads lot of slowing down and speeding up.I didn't really expect much performance wise being 1.4tdi but it's nippy enough but I wouldn't go as far as to say its quick!

I Haven't got a completely true reading for you yet because trying not to drive much until i have it serviced up so still using her car! The parts are estimated delivery 04/05 free delivery is why they take so long!

Driving style has a big impact on mpg though. as the mrs octavia average's 47ish when she drives. if i drive the same trip it will be either 60mpg or just shy of it.

85000 miles

II wouldn’t take the seller too seriously, he says it’s a top spec model too, despite it being the basic Royale model.

These Megane II are so undesirable, it’s a €1000 car at best. €2k is bonkers for it.

Toyotafanboi

Yeah, picked up one around this time last year for my sister, a tidy 2008 diesel hatchback in black with a pan roof, sensible mileage for €900 iirc. €1950 is €1k overpriced even given it's condition. It does look tidy and well presented though, it could be a nice but, for less.

colm_mcm

You always know a good one by the passenger side rear wheelarch condition.

That Mk2 Megane is way over priced. I know this technically doesn't qualify for this thread but I'd rather spend a little more on this Mk3 that is a year younger and a much more reliable model. The right set of aftermarket alloy wheels would make it a very smart looking car:

Agreed. Material seats, and the steering wheel looks like it has no buttons on it. But I'm sure someone will buy it purely because it says so :rolleyes:

Hi all,

My submission into the Bangernomics market, if anyone's interested. Quite a good deal if I must say so myself!

Nice honest ad, a bit on the high side price wise but it should sell easily enough.

Toyotafanboi

I dont think the price is too bad at all.

It's a 12 year old Astra with an engine management light that comes intermittently. A competent mechanic would have programmed out the egr.
These generation Astras aren't known for their reliability or desirability, there's issues with head gaskets too.

Toyotafanboi

I'm not a condoner of EGR blanking but i dont think it matters a whole lot with that car.

Well written as by what i'd expect is a long term owner, the car looks well presented and in good condition inside and out, loads of tax and NCT, not intergalactic mileage, small diesel engine and driving fine.

€1500 or nearest offer, it's not criminal, specially for an 09.

A competent mechanic would have drilled a hole in the centre of the blanking plate, Thats usually enough to satisfy the ECU.

Otherwise, at this stage they are no more prone to "issues" than any other car out there at the price/age.

A bit different this one; if anyone is looking for, or knows someone looking for, a wheelchair accessible car then this one has a new NCT and less than 100,000 km on it. It was doing about 2,000 km per year before COVID, so could be a car that's left outside a house for when the children come to take the owner out and about. Quirky looks, quirky colour included. I could have done with this a few years ago.

Good find that Fiat. Just tested, you can test it again and get full year test soon.

I hate them and love them at the same time

Definitely one for someone in need. Priced well.

Would have thought thats about 6-700 overpriced. Probably thinking they will get 2000 for it?

It's an opening price, clearly there is going to be some bargaining expected

Depends on the expectations of the seller. Maybe they think its worth that price and won't budge!

He's a dealer and says "Priced really competitive for quick sale" in all of his car adverts currently for sale

The €750 tax kills that to the point where it’s worth less than an 07 or early 08 on the cc based tax IMO.

I think it’s a €1500 car really.

We had one from new, a 2007 1.6l LX. It was almost a nice car but that spec was miserable in ways. And the engine just revved, drank petrol and never did anything but else.

I always hated it however as when my dad brought me along to look it over we test drove a 2l liter diesel Ghia and he loved it. Felt like a roacket ship compare with our '99 Avensis. Arrived home a few weeks later with the LX...........

Is the 1.6 Mondeo engine as boring as the 1.6 Focus engine?
