Seems way too cheap.

One of the worst diesels out there.

They drink diesel and give huge trouble. With that mileage its end of life or very close to it.

I just have a feeling that if Bill thought he could get more for that car he wouldn't be selling it at that price. It's a cheap car for sure but there is usually a good reason for it.

4x4 Fiat Sedici, NCT to 11/18 €1750. Not bad if you want something like this

Reliable suzuki engine too so you won't be fixing it again tomorrow

Oh right makes sense then.

It isn't written in a very clear way to be fair

Just wanted to say, big thanks to the folks here and on the other thread for their input - I wouldn't have known about or how to recognise the manifold issue and I almost certainly would bought the car without that. Thanks!

Exhaust smell in the cabin a bit, and behind the block when I opened the bonnet. I'm not 100% certain but it was strong enough that I'm not risking it.

I'm viewing this today, it's had the VSA reconditioned, anything else I need to look for specifically? If it does what it says on the tin I'm thinking of driving it home.

This is my own bangernomics. Few small marks but a decent car.

Edit: on the touch site and the link doesn't seem to be working so apologies if it's not for anyone else

bazz26

Timing chains were known to stretch on the early diesel versions of that model. Cracking exhaust manifolds were also a common issue on that model.

Quazzie

Any smell of fumes when driving, particularly in stop start/slow moving traffic. This will mean a new manifold at a LOT of money.

selectamatic

Give it a good test drive at least to check for knocks in the suspension, bushes and the like are pricey enough to sort on them accords.

Looks like a very decent Civic. Long NCT and a good bit of tax. Basic but would do a job for a lot of people. (Myself included)

That's a nice, neat looking car.
Cheap motoring too.

05 Subaru Legacy with 8 months tax left

Nice comfy cruiser - big engine @ 2.5L but taxed until Feb and nct apparently only just done (until Jan)

Looks nice for 2K

They obviously went all out and destroyed the car.

Same with the wheels.

Would it not be better to strip it all and do a fresh nct then sell.

No time or cash at the moment I have bought a tiny kei car as a replacement and the plasttidip peels off by hand as the ad state I slowly returned the car back to factory original cosmetically it's almost ready. Mechanically it's 100%been used daily since I got it in Jan .
I would like it to go a good home.
The right buyer is more important than cash in this situation imo

With thanks to Supergurrier in the today I saw a car for sale thread - this 07 2.5t S80 with reasonable miles and NCT to 10/18 for €1650. Regardless of the sellers previously asserted misconduct, if the car itself checks out it is surely a bargain.

Volvo looks pretty unloved . Lots of scratches and marks up close. Especially the bumpers and rear door. Alloys pretty grim. Eyes wide open !

All but confirmed by donedeal saying it's an import.

A full history check is needed on something like this if it isn't declared up front by the seller.
