Be very hard to go wrong with that is say. Bodywork looks tidy, looks like a highline and full main dealer history.

I tend to agree with you... they are less desirable than golf/Passat and the slightly high mileage will put a lot off.
Certainly more worthy of a spot in bangernomics than some of the large early 2000 cars posted here with V6’s, or even that Jag above that anyone on a budget simply couldn’t afford to run(legally!)

Would you really go to all that trouble on a cheap car though? Fairly hefty bill for that albeit preferable to a busted engine.

No way he'll accept €2k for that, it's already suspiciously cheap. So it doesn't belong in here really. That said, it's an amazing find for the money. I'm not up to speed with the different flavours of the VAG 1.9 diesel engine. Is this one of the better ones or one that gives trouble?

They all give some bit of trouble. Headgaskets and camshaft lobe wear for example. I think you are referring to the bxe engine with the conrod issue though which would have been fitted to that car but it's something that can be avoided with preventive maintenance. It having a bxe engine would not scare me away from it.

they did the nct early. presumably it was due in January or February. If they had waited until it was due they would only get 1 year. by doing it before the car turns 10 years old they get 2 years.

Nearly at bangernomics money but i think the 2 year nct and cheap tax make up for that. the only downside is the high mileage

Well mine has gone through the roof last few years... was around 300 for fully comp for years ... it has crept steadily last few years and is over 1100 now. (Didn’t pay it, can’t justify it as don’t need car that much)I’ve had my own policy 21 years full license for 20 and never had an incident.
Insurance brokers are telling me that over 10 years there a loading, over 12 it goes up again and over 15 another jump and some won’t even entertain you. I’m guessing others are hearing the same hence steering clear of cars over 10 years of age.
I think it’s total bull BTW... I’ve a car in the yard that I want to keep on the road but tax and insurance are 2k so I’ve to look for something else and probably scrap my own car which.

And near 2k for Tax!

I like this thread and yeah there’s no mention of tax price in the rules...

But in reality if your searching for a car under the 2k mark(I am at the moment) your not going to entertain models that attract a huge tax bill... or anything 15 years old that seem to attract a huge insurance bill.

My insurance was slightly cheaper this year. I renewed in September and the car had hit the awful 15 the previous April. I'm with Aviva.

Miles are a bit high, but it has test to 9/18 and a bit of tax into the new year for €1100. Budgeting for a good interior valet its still pretty good value if it check out okay

unkel

And 15 years is the magic number for me. Means I can add the car to my classic policy

Any additional car is about €100 per year, fully comp. And I'm further building NCB, and I don't have a policy on a normal car - happy days

This is a legacy policy though, these terms no longer apply for new business...

Axa? They've quoted older cars for me.
Also, folk should double check if they've any access to a "membership" insurance. e.g. my employer has a deal with a broker who sells insurances (car, travel, home) to employees. Ends up with an Allianz policy, and I haven't had problems with old vehicles, and the rates have been very competitive. What's also nice is that the quote model is pretty straight-forward: engine CC and value of vehicle being the key drivers between cars as opposed to random trigger words like "sport" or vehicle brands leading to premium explosion. I had access to this for years, but only looked into it properly last year and was by far the cheapest quote I got.

I know some unions or professional associations also have affinity schemes. e.g. Engineers Ireland http://www.engineersireland.ie/membership/affinity-schemes.aspx?wb48617274=48A47370
Credit Union: https://www.creditunion.ie/whatweoffer/insurance/carinsuranceroi/
IMPACT trade union: https://www.cornmarket.ie/product/impact-car-insurance/
Don't know how good the deals work out on each of these (prices, T&Cs, etc.,), but a friend in one of the public-services unions was showing me a quote he'd gotten and it was decent and much like my own.
