Here we go...

An 07 Ford CMax 1.8 Zetec

Taxed till the end of July and NCT until April 17

It's not pristine but all the important stuff works just fine and got it in on bangernomics budget despite it having been advertised at €2500

Cortina_MK_IV

The bloke selling the Fiesta above has 3 motorbikes and 3 cars for sale including this Subaru, Impreza, 2004 with 73,000km for €1,999.

This is down to €899. Great little first car especially when you read about the lad considering buying from the NCTphobe. I'm sure €850 cash would land it.

Heats up in traffic should set off head gasket alarm bells. Watch out for cream in the oil well.

The cityrover isn't any worse than the Felicia IMO.

You obviously haven't driven or sat in a C I T Y R O V E R , I had the experience when they were about a year old , and let's say I can see 2 reasons why a 9 year old one might only have 37000 miles racked up , firstly nobody would want To drive the miles in one and secondly I don't know if they'd make it beyond 39000 miles. I'd love to see the NCT stats on these .

Bit of bangernomics news... my trusty S60 has developed a severe knocking in the drive train to the front left wheel. I'm approaching 3 years (longest I've owned a car or very close) of ownership from an initial 3 figure sum with minimal costs so I'm cutting it loose. There's still some value to be extracted, I just need to figure out how but probably a few parts stripped off before a trip to Kilcock.

A swift replacement was required and has come in within bangernomics budget, long test, some tax, low miles and young enough to squeeze in another 2 year test with a voluntary early test. More to follow...

I don't even reckon it would have had a solid market if very cheaply priced. Rover did it before (rushed a heap of sh1te to market - the Metro) and it surely greatly helped to start sinking the proud Rover ship. Such a shame.

If they sold them for a modest markup on what they were reputedly paying Tata, they'd have made a market, just look at Dacia and Skoda of old, in fact that they'd had set a lower benchmark for the price of a new car. The metro was never cheap (to buy that is, it was definitely cheap and nastily put together).

It's a cheap and nasty piece of **** that would have had a solid market if Rover hadn't overpriced it

I very sadly had to drive quite a good few of those buckets that had a Rover badge badly glued on.

It was like driving a shed on wheels and I was driving new ones.

Dacia would tick very similar boxes to be honest god awful cars.

If it was for the same price of the Skoda I would probably agree.

You had to ruin your own post with that piece of sh1t

Like the ad for the Felicia. "Fan blow heater squeals a bit after a while but turn up the radio and all gone"

It's a bit compromised, but it has tax and long test for €250. Surely he would take €200. How cheap can a car get in here? Have we ever had a long NCT car that could be had for less than €200?

I know

I decided to post it because, being relatively young, opens up the insurance market a little more.

A fine opportunity to won some Czech engineering :pac:

Thats such a lot of car for the money. Nice luxury bangernomics, if you can stretch to the fuel costs.

B5 passats can make decent banger IMO ...
Probably cheaper than this one out there though ... always wanted a 4motion

He wants 2 for it. Short NCT, big engine, no leather, lowly alloys etc.

2.5 / 2.8k will get you a nice(er) E60.

Sensible seller, imo.

Was kinda thinking that too. Also the most basic 16" wheels with fat tyres. Several of the PDC sensors are missing and they are very expensive parts (unless you paint them yourself). I'd say that's probably not the only thing that could do with some patching.

Still very cheap, although I doubt you'd get more than €100 off. I would check it out carefully. This must be the first E60 in here (that doesn't really need major work)
