Was wondering if it was the front of a camper van.

wotzgoingon · 31-01-2018 07:18PM

It looks like a camper alright. If you look at the reflection in the drivers side headlight on the TT you can make it out.

Doctors room ghost · 31-01-2018 08:03PM

I’m convinced it’s the back of an escort xr3i with clear lights on the back.some craic if the person selling the tt saw this and told us what it was while telling us to fcuk off for calling him a dreamer

Looks nothing like it it's a camper and if it weren't a camper it's a van.

Now we have the camper sorted, what's under the tarp on the bottom left?

Can I have a prize.

Personally I feel this is a dreamer. In and around 3 grand. Just cause you stick on a set of gimp alloys does not mean it should cost more.

I sold one with 30k on the clock, 10 main dealer stamps and in showroom condition (really) for less than half that 12 years ago.

Crazy money. You still see them for sale here for a fraction of that and even though they sre not plentiful nowadays a good example can still be picked up.

Ay never thought of that tbf he'd wanna find a more suitable site than DD though to pull off that angle, it might work on piston heads :P

Could get very political going down that UK rabbit hole though, the seller's called paddy after all

Realistically, it that car worth any more than scrap value? I'm struggling to think of a reason why anyone would want it.

Its actually got quite a nice engine, its a very good looking car, the interior is well spec'd and it is from a time when Peugeots had some degree of reliability.

If the tax was even half the price, it'd be worth close to the asking price I'd say. People just (understandably) will not pay the mental tax prices on pre 08 stuff unless the car is seriously exotic.

€1500 for motor tax? That's more than a months wages at minimum wage, it's 2 months mortgage payments on a 3 bed semi outside the pale, it's a lot of money for effectively nothing and as such, like you say it devalues (an otherwise lovely) car to the point of scrap value.

wotzgoingon · 04-02-2018 02:03PM

Came across this yesterday. No NCT, English reg and not even a sought after car. €3,250

Errr, no. They were far from reliable, particularly electrics. I saw a few being scrapped through leccy faults that couldn't be found. I've seen lads with entire looms out of them trying to fix issues.

Be some machine alright if it was running ok, but for hundreds and not thousands.

I don't know, it's quite nice to be fair to it and it's service history is present.
The interior looks clean and from the looks of things has a nice spec.
1k lower and on Irish plates and I'd say it wouldn't be too far off the price.

Not really worth it at all. The mot history shows the sills were corroded

They're a fair lazy warm hatch too. And that's by 90's standards never mind early noughties.
