It's a feature of most of your posts. That car would be a "grand" buy at 1650 no need to get it down to 1500 to qualify as a good buy. Same being the case for pretty much every car you post.

Nonsense. That car has been for sale for a good while, the last ad had it listed at 1850. The seller himself has already dropped the price to get it noticed, so it's not unreasonable to suggest there is more room. Clean, well priced cars tend to get snapped up quickly: the fact that this has hung around suggests that there are other factors which might make it less desirable.

How nice is this? 6 months test, €750

Needs to be 500, but still!

Interestingly tax exempt previously

I had an automatic one of these years ago and (sadly :pac:) it's the car I miss the most of all the cars I've owned. Wonder is there any way to insure it on a classic policy....

I think it’s the seller himself behind the reason it’s not selling. Nice lad called John Paul who seems to think that he works for me and I’m his boss.

First Ireland and I think Axa will insure it in a year when it turns 20. Could be worth a phone call to them now..

Try Autoline (+44 345 230 3030) they're based in the North but are get for classic car insurance well worth a call. Insured my MR2 before it was 20 years old.

This is my old car, I sold it in 2018. if you're looking for one of the best GS300's out there I recommend this. It's been very well taken care of its whole life, has all modern creature comforts and is overall an excellent package.

Stick that in the Luxobarge thread too.

I have never owned a Peugeot, and never felt a particular inclination to own one, but two family members drive Peugeot 508's, and I have to say, the cockpit is a very comfortable place to be, lots of "Gadget's", and very nice to drive.

That's a lot of car for good money. Very low mileage.

Ignis Sport is a great anti-hot hatch.

I never understood Suzuki tbh, but they have a MASSIVE market share in India. Around 50%
Their European stuff never quite hit the mark. Closest I’d say was that generation Swift.

I had the four wheel drive Ignis for a couple of years, my wife drove it.
It was as grippy as hell but not a nice place to sit if you're over 6ft2.

Can someone please put up a link to this thread? I remember at the time it was one of the most hilarious things ever.

I don't know I think the joke has long gone. It's getting stupid at this stage.

Bangernomics update. Sold my bangernomics 2000 1.6 vvti luna avensis. It was posted by mad mike here back in late april. I paid 600 for it down from 650. It came with tax and nct until 02-20. Cheap motoring out of the bag.

Sold it for 250 with no nct done. Needs at least 2 tires for that. Insurance also came down from my old diesel. It was actually a great car. Only had one owner before myself. I tipped around in it for 7 months and it didnt miss a beat until it needed a new altenator over christmas. A 50 quid driveway job. I decided as i wasnt using it, maybe once a month, and knew it would be worth feck all regardless to give it a good send off and sell it on. I used it to compete in my first autotest event which was fierce craic but she was vastly outclasesed by the starlets and a couple of mx5s. Thought the clutch was a gonner as it was slipping on the way home. But, as they do the toyota fixed itself and carried on.

The new owner said hes going to tidy it up and drive it himself, which i was happy with as i had driven my last few cars over their final legs into the ground, in kilcock . Never met an avensis enthuasiast before but he said he was more into the 2002 2003 mk1, over the mk2, as is his son, a toyota mechanic whos also mad for them.

Back bumper and towbar would make that a no for me. I dont think they were a great car off the forecourt.

Rough and ready 02 TDi octavia wagon

€450 when I posted it. Near certain this had dropped to sub €400 when you posted it Colm.

I'm amazed it hasn't sold it was basically free when sub €400.

Yer man must be awkward deal with or there's something else up.

Tax is a bit sour, but think of the pedigree, and all that power.

€1'200 tax for a 1.8 ltr petrol engine??? Is that a mistake/ Or is it emission based, and it came down on the wrong calendar date in 2008?

Having said that, there has been an increase in the Nr of "Exotic" vehicles appearing here on the forum lately. This is the 3rd "Chevvy" I think in the last week or two. Makes a change.
