And the winner of dreamer of the year is...

Belongs in the skanger thread.
Revolting colour & it ruins the interior too.

The mods to it are rank...

I know she's got the mighty 1.9 TDI with 200bhp laaaaad but what numb skull would want to buy that at half the asking price even.


Don't see how anyone with 8 cars for sale at any one time can call themselves a private seller

very ambitious price for that Golf considering the colour alone (and the clashing interior colour).

Considering there is only 80k miles on the clock, for a 32 year old car, I would assume either this car was parked up for a good few years, or has been clocked, or even both! 80k over the life of the car is just 2.5k a year. Golfs are not sunday cars, they are bought to be driven, even by 1995, having 80k miles would have been low.

Is the service history based on the original engine, or the engine from the mk3? when was it changed, and how much mileage had the mk3 engine done?

If I was after a 1.9GTD from that era, I'd want an original example not one that is a frankenstein.

People offloading the Crewcabs now as they rules regarding the crew cab tax rate are going to be changing due to new methods of measurement incoming which will see owners get the full bill for motor tax.

They're going to re-classify vehicles already classed as 4/5 seat commercials?

I understood it as changes to new applications, it surely doesn't mean they are going to retrospectively apply laws to vehicles that were converted legally and within regulations when they were converted.

Or do you mean that the 333 rate is being split up??

Hyfly johnnies!

Here is a 2006 C6 Exclusive asking €7,350 on Irish plates and ready to go. Granted the car asking €25k has much lower mileage and I do at a glance see a few flaws with the cheaper. Notwithstanding it really doesn't make the €25k car worth anything near asking price. In fact the cheaper car is advertised on Donedeal for 33 days so at that price he most likely is asking too much. I would think the €10k mentioned for the car on Carzone is too much. If it was a 2008 on the "chape road tax" it may have a chance of getting €10k?

I remember checking that before, the tax on a post-08 one is €2350, so the 07 is actually cheaper taxed :eek:

Paperwork might be an issue.

So a West German Moss covered Lhd not registered 1.3 automatic for 2k.
Bargain.

No worse than anyone else not using the "crewcab" to ferry employees to and from jobs. Which is 90 odd % of €333 taxed crewcab owners.

One is what a crewcab is for and the other isn't though?

2350 for a car with a 2.7 diesel? Are we sure it runs on diesel and not coal?

I couldn't believe it too, until I looked it up, the 2.7 Auto C6 in 2008 has a CO2 output of 230gm/km. The €2350 rate is for all cars 226gm + .

In 2009, the 2.7 was replaced with a 3.0 HDI with Co2 of 190g = €750 tax

Eek as right, that engine certainly must be bucking the trend for C02 emissions on diesels.

Price is high in fairness for a no tax or test example. But an un molested original Irish IS200 a fairly rare car now. I know rare doesn't equal desirable or expensive but there'd be plenty of young lads who that car would appeal to for insurance purposes etc. Probably see €2500 - 3k with a fresh test.

The ad alone would convince me to part with 4.5k
I'd prefer that to an altezza though.
