New shape petrol Mazda 6:

windscreen cracked, (can be fixed but price will be 2380) or, if you covered by insurance can fix it for free.

That's a bit of an eye-watering price to fix a windscreen. Would an insurance company really pay that with no blowback?

Hello all,
Update on my bangernomic search!
I bought the Octavia estate today.

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/skoda-octavia-2000-glx-tdi-1-9/15049261

Picked it up for €850 notes.
To be fair it's immaculate for the year.
The chap selling it was a gent and bought it new back in 2000!
124k miles, a fully stamped service book with timing belt changes at 50k and 100k.

I'm happy out anyway.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

A lovely car and should last a while.

Love the front fogs built into the headlight cluster on those. The GLX is pretty rare on them pre facelifts and is a nice upgrade from winding windows on the base model.

If the GLX is an upgrade the base must have been pretty sparce!
I was cruising down the motorway today admiring the dash. The double indicator button is the star of the show!
To be fair, the electric windows and sunroof are a nice touch on a car that age. Also the upholstery on the seats and the doors is a bit funky!

Does it have discs at the back ?

It's going straight in at the deep end anyway, I have 2 trailers of turf to get off the bog tomorrow..ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

1 owner '99 octavia estate
Low miles for year
Decent looking bus
Test may '18
Asking €950

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/skoda-octavia-2000-glx-tdi-1-9/15049261

Is that really worth €950?, Im not knocking it, I have a slightly newer one, with lower miles pre dpf also, I thought the GLX spec was a petrol version?
dont want to tempt fate but its running away ok, which is my concern about getting something else, in case it doesn't run away ok. Im tempted by the likes of an x type and the rover/MG 75, but Im also tempted to drive mine on. Pleasantly surprised by reports of a reliable chain engine in the x type, the MG looks nice too, like the idea of the automatic, but its mpg is low.
I need the estate boot, find it too handy, the x type and the MG are nice though, any idea if they are the same engine?

That's the one. Could do with being attacked with a DA and a paint of the wheels but the dog or bikes don't mind that. I'm actually quite pleased with it

Or another in diesel vein
https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/audi-a6-estate-1-9-tdi/16623694
Estate diesel A6: Asking €950. Since it's a 1.9tdi A6, it will be the 130bhp version, 5 SPD gearbox too so is AWX engine code (well regarded).

Advert info says NCT only Oct 2017, but advert text says has passed test and NCT database backs it up so it's a 12 to 13 mth NCT. Also 2 mths tax left!

Only questions: interior condition? And when was timing belt done? I think interval is 60k miles, and there's 170k on car, so could be due its third. That's a €400 job, but would add value to car anyway.
Worth an enquiry perhaps.

Lads,
I'm looking for a diesel bangernomic.
I am going to be doing between 350 and 600 miles per week for the next 9 months.
Planning on parking my old petrol benz and getting a few jobs done to her during that time.

My criteria are simple;
Circa €1,300 budget
Fuel economy
Reliable
Bit of Comfort if possible

Rover 75 CDTi/MGZT CDTi is worth considering.

Just picked up a 2003 Accord Estate, needed something with a **** ton of space for bikes and dog.

Full leather, heated and electric seats.
CD changer with the premium sound system
Sunroof
Dual zone aircon
Sunroof
FSH
Intergalactic mileage but showing none of it in terms of wear, and I can change the odo to not display the mileage so it doesn't annoy me :pac:
4 nearly new and matched tyres
Test until July '18 and tax for another 3 days
Few marks on the body but nothing worth worrying about and the alloys are a state

All for the princely sum of €500

bear1

Tbh I'd take that Passat. Very good spec with full heated seats for the winter and climate control to boot
Good engine and seems to be looked after. Best way to spend 1k I think.

I will be moving it on again next June/July and putting my old Merc back on the road.

Any thoughts on the 4 I posted last night.

I am edging towards the Avensis in Kerry, but am intregued by the Jag! What are they like reliability wise and are they good on juice?

I rang the Octavia estate I posted last night and that seems very genuine, the chap has owned it since brand new!
Surely that would be a decent option at €900??

Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks all.

I'm sure they are grand cars but they are one of the few Alfas I don't like.
Gimme a good 156/159 anyday (or, a v6 75 for added retro-alfa) but wouldn't buy a 147.

Lovely looking car, but no good fo me.
I should have said I need 4 doors and a little bit of space. I have a 1 year old and a 3 year, so back seat will have two baby seats.
