Back to dreamers I think lads.

I love these old Jap Corollas but €4500 makes me think this guy has eaten too many magic mushrooms. The interiors are lovely in those and the cars have a certain charm but it's dangerously overpriced.

Here's a similar car, potentially even more "desirable" being a diesel and 4wd for a third of the asking and even this one is a shade pricey.

As these ads go to show, if you are ever looking for a dreamer, look no further than the "vintage" section on donedeal.

That must be a rare beast - wonder how many are in the country? Wouldn't fancy it much though.

€13k!

I would rather burn the near 13k.

Never understood anyone that would drive one they are miserable.

A Micra in drag. (no offense to Micra drivers, Figaro drivers, or drag queens intended).

punisher5112

I've owned many a Micra but would not be driving that if was given for free and I have driven them but not for long.

Toyotafanboi

Close the thread, we're done here. Holy Moly.

They are starting to hold good value and they are infinitely cool IMO, but if it was up for €5k I'd still think they were dreaming.

Admittedly I'm looking in from an outside perspective, but I see the appeal. Soft top, nice bright interior and a peppy (I presume) engine. I'd be more than happy with one on s day like today. But if it was my money I'd be buying the 1500 Pao in the bangernomics thread

Honda's are known for great handling. During the 90's they were using double wishbone suspension. I do not know if they still are.

Same here TBH. Bags of character, though not at that money. :eek::eek:

Not as far as I know. McPherson struts and torsion bars IIRC.

What the F**king jaysis!!!???

€2,200 for a 20 year old Replica with wheels that don't fit!

This is the best bit:

4 super Rare genuine mitsubishi wind deflectors
Genuine evo 3 front mount intercooler including all piping ( to get that genuine look

I wouldn't even give Tree Fiddy for that.
It's scrap...

Yes its on the expensive side and its only valuable to someone who wants the parts. for eg

Evo 3 full kit can go for upwards of £400 sterling

Evo 3 original OZ rims again £400 plus

Doors, bonnet, boot and interior, who knows. I know i could do with some parts off it....if someone buys it let me know

Rusty roof where the support bars are for one. All the early Evo's rust here.

At the risk of riling up all the Honda fans again, I wouldn't block a feckin gap with it, not to mention pay 10 grand for it!

*Edit* For €300 less you could get this! http://www.adverts.ie/vehicles/nissan-350z-gt-pack/12958469

Yet another "optimistically" priced BJ42, this time an Aussie import that looks like it's already succumbing to the Irish weather, and only €22,500:

http://www.adverts.ie/vehicles/toyota-landcruiser-bj42-lx/12631073

It makes this €16,000 Series 3 look like it's almost good value:

That accord is nearly winning this thread, but the 350z is asking twice the price they dont sell for...

Yeah, I'd agree the 350z is well overpriced too, but like my other example with the Landcruiser and the Series 3, it looks like an absolute bargain compared to the Honda!

That kind of money would buy you a M3 2013. Not a convertible though...

Those numbers don't include the astronomical VRT that would be charged on import though.
I agree with the OPs sentiment though, 40k for a 10 year old car is insane

PurvesGrundy

I know these are a future classic, but 30k is just taking the piss for a late 8 Series like this: http://www.carzone.ie/used-cars/bmw/8-series/used-2000-bmw-8-series-840ci-spor-dublin-fpa-7623796905488548149

You'd love to know what they paid for that.

That would have cost 100k back in the day.

Fantastic car, but not €30k fantastic. And if anything goes wrong, it'll be either a mortgage or the scrapper.

Aye and the all too usual 10 photos and not one of the interior or engine bay. :rolleyes:

+1. Gorgeous car, but a collection of very expensive and often troublesome parts waiting to go wrong.
