    You should get a very good price for that Bertone. Smashing motor WSB!

    Thanks for the comments!

    Yeah I'm not looking forward to the possible wait to get a somewhat good price for it. The fact that its a 1.8 petrol is off putting for some people, not sure why really, its fairly handy on the juice.

    Between €1500 and €4000 seems to be the price range for them depending on condition and mileage (just went 94k), its colour is unusual so that helps and its much much tidier than when I bought it a year ago (also have a set of 17" wheels going with it) so would be happy with 3k (not sure if that'll be optimism though!)

    I'll have to wait and see! :p

    That was very reasonable. Shur you will do most of that work yourself..


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,730 ✭✭✭E39MSport


    hmm.... Normally would, but I will get Chris in Sandyford to do it for me.

    I want to focus on the 8er this year and if I get bogged down with the E39, I'll get nothing done.

    Will definitely spend a good while on the paintwork etc though. It's in good shape but I want to have it Boraesque.

    Just collected this weekend after trading my 2006 Impreza in. 2008 Seat Leon FR, 200BHP, 6 speed DSG paddshift gearbox. Great fun to drive loving it so far.

    I'll take some proper pics when I get a chance to give her a wax and clean.

    are they the ti sport alloys from the 159? or were they just carried on for the 159 too?


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,555 ✭✭✭✭Marlow


    Well, I got 4WD in my car two days ago, some difference in driving!! :D

    And while we were at it, the sparewheel moved to the tailgate and the exhaust got changed.

    The 159 alloys are a bit different and bigger too, the spokes don't have the curve in them,

    It's the 1.8 twin spark, cost €3700 with 60k miles and a fairly patchy service history :pac: but so far its been worth every penny, it puts a smile on my face every time I sit in:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,238 ✭✭✭Ardennes1944


    Does it have leather moomoo?
