Asking price is reduced to €4950 in the description, looks clean and claims to have main dealer service history. NCT to Oct 19 despite the old disc saying Oct 18.

The price on this has been bouncing around, for sale quite a while too, at this stage.

Sure!

Shockingly expensive car to run, despite the fact they can be gotten for next to nothing these days.

Even though it’s less than 15 years old?

no idea why but in 2017 I was insured on my 645 for 1900 fully comp, can't get a quote under 3500 now.

unkel · 01-08-2018 09:34PM

Maybe because it is less than 15 years old. I could insure it fully comp as a classic for €100 for the year once it reaches 15 years of age (I have a legacy policy though, other people might need to wait until it is 20 years old)

Are you 18? Larger engined cars have been getting a bit pricey. I was quoted €1860 on a 2005 CL500. This included a discount! I pay €1100 for fully comp with business cover. AXA quoted me €2600 for a 2003 Smart for2 which is now insured for €450. I'm 50 with full no claims, no points etc. I've historically paid under a grand for my V8's. The loading on older cars is a total scam, if it's nat'd it should be insurable.

The repair needed to the air suspension on that A8 would worry me, cannot be cheap or it would already be done.

True, I had a shock and a wheel bearing replaced on the CL at a cost of €2660. The shock itself is €1400 + VAT. Main issue is that it's almost impossible to find an indie to do the job as the shock needs to be calibrated and ride height set.

I had to change an rear air bag on my 04 LS430 after it got punctured. The hardest job was just gaining access to the shock top bolts. After that it was plain sailing and a cheap chinese Toyota OBD tool helped calibrate the ride height.

€150 all in.

The fact it has no nct and I think that particular model isn't that quick coupled with 1.8k tax is the reason it's not selling.
Wouldn't call it a luxobarge either.

Brasso · 14-08-2018 09:45PM

2004 BMW 645i auto, 104k miles, claiming it will be sold with a new NCT (seller is marked as a trader). Asking €5k. Tactical placement of a white screw on the reg also.

Two LS400s. The black one is a 1995 with 106k miles and NCT to October, asking €5k. The green is a 1999 97k miles, UK reg so should get 1 year NCT when registered in Ireland, asking €4k.
They do seem a tad expensive but I suppose they are getting rarer now and they're really great reliable old school luxury cruisers.

Yeah I feel luxobarges in general are going up in price compared to their equivalents 5 years ago. I suppose there's an increased demand now with more people in work and there's definitely a huge restriction in supply from after 2008.

For another 1k you can have this newer 4th gen LS:

I'd prefer the older ones tbh even at the same money.
I remember last year a white LS430 went for auction and sold at around 1k and I thouight that was expensive.
They are going up!

That's the one I went to view in Swinford over 14 months ago it's changed a lot of hands since.

KevRossi · 08-09-2018 11:24PM

This was posted up at the top of the page about 4 weeks ago.

Got an NCT on Tuesday last until next May and has a price drop of €350 to €4650. Very few takers with a tax bill of €1800, or €2,000 if you pay in installments.

These could hit 100 km/h in under 5.5s when new.

With the hybrid sub €300 a year motor tax stuff I fear they will never be cheap.

bazz26 · 08-09-2018 11:46PM

I'd doubt your typical hybrid buyer would be in the market for that type of car though.

Say the IS300h and GS300h, both cheap tax and circa 40k new, I can never see these going at their current 10 year old petrol model value of €4k/€5k, I'd see them as double that at 10 years old.

Beautiful car, but you'd need to be a real enthusiast to buy it.

Near 2k a year in tax, near 1k in tyres, maybe 25mpg if you're lucky.

Plus it'll cost more than it's worth to fix if anything happens.
