2005 VW Phaeton - only €19,700

Amusing how the latter part of the ad segues into a description of outstanding work ... to be done by the prospective buyer!!!

Rear suspension 100%, front bushings need replacement withing couple of months time, I don't recommend changing wishbones in authorized service as they ask 2.5k for one front side investing in bit more expensive polyurethane bushings and having it done by replacement is what has been suggested. Same time I would change rubber dust cover at front coil-overs and access is only when wishbones removed,

But not to worry, it's ...

not a big investment.

Just as well, eh? ... seeing as funds may be a little tight after your wallet has been lightened by €19,700

With no tax or test??

Ford sunroof... As opposed to what? A normal sunroof?.
Steering wheel that matches the dash now there is a reason to burn 8.5k on a 08 petrol mondeo.

Be that as it may, his pricing is insane. You would pick up a similar spec/mileage version in the UK for between £5-7k (€5.8-8.2k), VRT is a shade over €2000. So, less than half he's asking and you're on the road if you're really after one.

If you're feeling really daft, you'd even get a 5.0 V10 for £6695

90% a bentley maybe the 6.0 petrol engine is...some people really are dreamers!
€20k for an 11 year old car - maybe €7k if even being realistic.

Car.

Apologies if posted already, I looked back through previous posts and didn't see it

Definately a short arse, err I mean Compact.
Dash, Doorcards are specific to Compact.

Personally think it's about €2k overpriced.... It's a Basic Compact, Who really wants one. Although those engines are bullet proof.

Have a guess before you click the link and post below how far off you were

I one read that for a car to be considered a 'classic' it needs to fill a few requirements
1. That it is 'beautiful' to look at... in the eye of the beholder obviously, but you get my drift.
2. That it (obviously the model type in question) has some kind of 'sporting' pedigree.
3. That it should possess at least one 'engineering' milestone. This could range from anything, like being the first model to have wipers to the first to sport radial tyres etc.

Can anyone tell me at least one enduring legacy that the Toyota Tercel has provided ?

It's rwd... good enough for most!

Weld her up and send her round :P

fwd man that's why its in the dreamer thread

Edit Colm beat me too it.
Engine isn't transverse as many of these were sold with proper 4wd for the us market and mountainous Japanese area's badged as corsa's, windys and corolla II's.
The tercel wagons with 4wd and low range are very cool little cars (red car from breaking bad)
All in in all some models of tercels are sorta cool but none are really valuable a rough blue one in donegal sold for a few hundred about a year ago.

So had Lancia Flavias in 1959, nothing 'innovative' there...

Didn't see anyone claim innovation as the reason :pac:
read my post above as to why it's not transverse
