I deleted the beetle as it was out of test. Losing my touch
in case anyone's interested, here it is

Anything to look out for on those 1.8t?

Was sludge an issue on the 1.8t ?

Not too up on them, believe boost/vacuum leaks can be an issue, coil packs, dual mass flywheel, sludge from wrong oil.
Tossy would be the man to talk to about them.

Oil pick ups can block on them if not serviced using correct oil at correct intervals. Sump removal and clean usually sorts it.

Full years NCT and a few weeks tax. Reckon €700 would take it.

One of the nicest astra's to come on the market this year

2 weeks into the year!

Putting this here for my dad as it fits all the criteria and I reckon it's a good buy for the money. Lots spent recently. He picked up a newer car unexpectedly at a good price last week so hence the sale.

On phone so can't post photo link. Full year's tax paid and lots of servicing work done over the last while. Good Michelins, pads and discs all around, tracking. Good service history. Few superficial scrapes at the back (one done by me). I also have a Mazda and I've done oil changes on them ahead of service for the last few years, fully synthetic Ford/Mazda spec oil always used. More info in the ad.

That's a nice deal when you consider there's €600 tax on it.

The seller is Pretty much getting their tax money back if they manage to get anything near the asking price. Those cars go for peanuts these days

True, but the fact that someone thought enough of the car to tax it for the year inspires confidence more so than a 6 for €1k

I know what you are saying but the thing is you can get a better specced cleaner 6 for that money, or less.

colm_mcm

Oh yeah, I've seen tourings for well under the grand. This one strikes me as less of a gamble but I get your point

He was definitely going to keep it for another year at least lads. I was buying a car two weeks ago and went to look at two Saab 95 estates in Dublin. One of the sellers dropped his price hugely so I was torn between the two. One newer and cleaner but a good bit more money. Ended up buying the two - one for myself and my dad took the other one. He came up in years a bit and was looking for an estate as well. That's why the Mazda is for sale. It's not flash for sure but it's solid enough, reliable, well serviced and nothing else to spend on it for quite a bit. That's why I reckon it suits this thread.

Maybe keep it for when the Saab breaks!

Jesus don't tell me that! Thought the newer 95 petrols were ok 2007/2008 reliability wise generally.

colm_mcm

Ah yeah, they're much improved over the older ones to be fair. Nowhere as much of a safe bet as the Mazda though.

Speaking of Saabs

Raiding the piggy bank a little, but these are a hoot to drive compared to the usual Irish spec ones

Nice spec too.

Luckily cars can't read so I wouldn't worry about spelling myself, I'd be more concerned about the potential great engine/time bomb under the bonnet..

Literally just got out of one of those, nice drive, feels very Citroëny..

It's a bit arts and crafts alright.
What's up with under the headlights, LED strips?
