Typical enough 1.4 saloon, 80k kms, NCT til October 2020, tax til May 2020
1 owner from new, a retired bishop no less
Brand new tyres all round (Davanti)
Never failed an NCT, or even had an advisory..ever
Serviced religiously (:pac:) every year, full history essentially
Couple of small marks, but its very presentable, and like new inside

It will be going on Donedeal on Monday for 1750. If anyone here thinks it might be for them, 1500 will buy it.

Great find Duke, not the most exciting but should be pretty reliable.

Cheers, it really is a lovely car. I love coming across nice examples of ordinary cars, and this is one of them.

I supplied the owner with a lovely little hybrid Honda Fit, and he is delighted with that too, but he is genuinely disappointed having to sell the Corolla, it’s getting a bit big for him.

And great buyers they are too! Cash up front every time

Lots of orders are reducing their fleet numbers drastically. The Yaris I posted previously belongs to a crowd reducing 10 cars to three, all Yaris’ and Corollas to EVs, most likely Leafs

Sister is a nun, she has driven starlets,Yaris and her current car is an I20

Looked up new car regs 2007, the reg number implies it's an import.

No more Starlets to be found in convents any more I haven’t come across anything interesting at all

I didn't think convents were still a thing. In my local town back in around 2005/06 nuns bought four houses in a new estate. These are semi detached houses but the nuns were built different than the rest of the houses in estate. They were hollow core so concrete floor upstairs instead of timber and were all connected. So you could walk from the forth house to the first one without leaving the buildings. There were extensions built in the gap between the two semi detached houses.

An why i'm thinking are convents still a thing the nuns have long gone from those houses.

The photo will do, look at the information board outside, who would have that on their house.

So long as they are not raiding the donation basket from Sunday mass to buy them!
They can't get priests anymore so no surprise they don't need cars.
We'd a father trendy in our parish growing up, he'd a red alfa.

Might have been. Not sure on the model.

I remember a young priest came to the parish where I grew up and he had a red 146, so when I saw it mentioned, I assumed it was same guy

My father was in the trade in the 70's/'80's - he supplied Fiats and Lancias to parishes up and down the country. Eamon Casey was a great fan of the 2 litre twin cam Lancias! Many were pulled from ditches in west Kerry.....

At that money, even for a shed like that it'll surely be gone tomorrow.

Ah! Definitely not. Down in Laois this was. Seems there were a few of them had the thing for red Alfas so!

They must have been dipping into the parish fund because afaik they get a very small allowance for themselves.

A fine man uncle gaybo organised a witch hunt for.


In the 1980s in West Waterford the curate in our parish also drove an Alfa. Complete prick but liked his cars

I have no connection but most of these cars qualify for thread.

Eyes wide open, I presume that they are scrappage deal cars.

Diocesan priests can be independently wealthy too, a good friend of mine has a brother a priest in Dublin and he has a beautiful 182 Golf high line...and three houses
