So in text we have

2010 SUZUKI Alto SZ3. Engine -0.988 L

NCT 2018-06 ( MOT uK reg, VRT 460€)

which I read as a 1 Litre engine, while in the "Key Info" we have

Make Kia
Model Rio
Engine Size 1.4 litre
Fuel Type Diesel

and the pictures are of a Suzuki Alto.

This ad is contradictory to say the least!

Yes. The ad now says VRT is extra.

Also down as a Kia Rio in the description.

2010 Alto, NCT 6/18, €1850.

Very cheap compared to similar cars so needs scrutinizing

Registration hidden in all (poor) photos, no discs on the windscreen, and the body of the advert would all suggest to me that it doesn't have an NCT at all and is currently still on UK plates with a valid MOT.

Tbf those laptops are on ebay for £138 brand new

Suspicious to me.
Same seller seems to have a 'brand new, unopened' 2017 laptop for sale for €185 ....... again suspiciously low figure ....

Recycled ad as well.

Nice looking, I like estates, looks clean on the outside, cant tell inside. Was it a UK import? The NCT says year of first registration 2005? but date of manufacture 2001. I must check my last NCT see what it says as its an import.
I don't want to put the boot in, but it seems like a lot of money for a 2001? Someone more expert may come along and say its good value or maybe something complimentary about the engine? or at some point the price stops going down??
I have an Octavia of the same year, granted my timing belt has a few years/miles on it now, I just cant see me getting similar money even though I could clean it out/up, despite whats been said recently here, I have had a bit of bother with insurance due to age (of the car), which I think is a shame for cars that age but are otherwise clean and good condition.

Yes it was imported from the UK back in 2005. As the other poster said its not a normal boring 1.4 golf. Its 1.8T engine that came in the golf gti. A simple remap and you would have over 200bhp. Ive priced it in accordance with similar golfs/ octavia vrs and its a good deal if you ask me. I have had a bit of interest from the UK because of the rarity of the car, colour / spec so ive stuck it up on ebay for the crack

Because they're absolute sh**e with next to no redeeming features. 16v might be worth consideration, but the 8v is a waste of money.

I think I saw this a few years ago for sale and was gone when I eventually decided to have a look.

Its a bit more than your normal Golf estate, its a GTI in sheep's clothing. I remember getting insurance quotes back in the day and they were coming in way cheaper than a normal Golf GTI.

Not in the market, but Id be interested in this if I was.

The Saab is grand but, as a Bangernomics fan, I'm nearly due a change.
Those lines, the only car to compare is the 406 coupe.

If at the end of the day you're only forfeitting 2 years and getting something different for less than 800e I'd check it out.
Go on....

The t-spark isn't an overly complicated engine but you'd have to go and see it and drive it to see if it's worth the change.
What's the Saab? a diesel or turbo petrol?
Few reasons why that car is cheap, has the stigmata of the badge and it's a 14 year old car.

Last of that style of 156 too before the FL came in.
Supposedly a very revvy engine but I'd want to see the belt and variator have been done or else you'd need to add another 500e to that.

Certainly one of the nicest sounding 4-cyl engines I've driven anyway.
I suppose it's down to the 8 spark plugs in part anyway (some of which are in really finger cutting places to get to, but that's another story)

C'mon. Cars only extremely rarely break down these days. Even whatever "unreliable" cars people here usually mention.
