Autoline in the North should offer classic insurance.

I've a policy with them but they wouldnt touch the newer mini (in any form) when I tried...just referred to the 20 years old rule(yet a 16 year old merc/bmw/audi is allowed)

If anyone has insured one successfully with autoline I'd love to hear

Anyone interested in this? Now on about 150k, just serviced (oil, air, fuel and pollen filters & oil) and I have four Kumho Ecsta KU39 tyres on order that should be fitted next week.

Taxed till end of Jan 19 and tested till end of June 19.

Its a lovely car, never gave me a moments bother, I just fancy reducing the tax bill in the new year and maybe picking up a Mk2 Prius or Civic hybrid. Thinking of advertising it for €1500

Full service history too! Clutch, timing belt and all that jazz have been done by Audi under previous ownership.

Auto? Engine?

For importing?
If you want to get into the €200 flat rate , over 30 years of age.

Are you saying if you only want to insure and use the car for 6 months of the year autoline will give you a policy to suit?

18 year old e36 was €350 for 3k miles. If you aren't using it for extended periods autoline will allow you non use cover which is only about €100 for the year so I only ended up paying €160 for the year.

Precisely. I paid for an off road policy in May, upgraded in June, paid the difference, reverted in October and got a refund again.

Further details? Is it petrol /diesel? What is fuel economy like?

Leather, Cruise control 5/6 speed, climate control?
Cheers.

Nice high spec example of one of these, room to haggle too. Tempted myself as a dog mobile, fuel economy is the only thing putting me off.

Balls, leather and I'd be very keen, much easier to keep with my dogs that shed kilos of hair every day!

2003 E220CDi, NCT to 07/19, €2,100

Mercedes usually make elegant estates, early model, so not all of the issues have been ironed out, but this is fully loaded and you'll do well to find a more elegant way to get around for €2K.

Wow, that’s a fantastic find. Very good spec on that, I’m 99% sure that’s a sat nav screen in the center of the dash. I’d nearly replace my A6 for that!

Its €950 a year, so about half of what I'm currently paying. I'm tempted. Hope to look at a car this weekend, if it doesn't work out then I'll give that one a ring.

If the motor tax was cheap then the price of the car would be higher., you cannot really have it both ways. That's how the used car market generally works here.

'03 530i

Lovely looking car. Obvs miles need to be verified.
Asking €1,999

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/bmw-5-series-530-i/19320450

With some issues and no warranty blah blah talk from the dealer I would skip, especially at that price point.

I just re-read the advert. For whatever reason I missed the part about the issues!
Totally agree.
Not bangernomics in hindsight

Not many of these on offer for bangernomics money any more. Could be worth a look.

Asking €2,150

I know this point comes up on a regular basis and there are different opinions on it.

Personally I'd rather give a couple of grand extra to the guy who has looked after a nice car than give it to the Government.

bazz26 · 13-11-2018 12:24AM

I don't see what difference that makes to be honest, either way it's money coming out of your pocket and into someone else's. The end result is the same - buy a car with high tax and save on the price of the car or buy a more expensive car and save on tax.

The seats look very fresh.
Could be a good one.
If you bought it and kept it until it gets Vintage Tax it would cost c. €26,000 in Motor Tax.

could just be the light...but the rear passenger door and wheelarch looks to be a different colour in all the pics. My guess is that this car had a pretty big accident at some point

Terrible ad, but looking past that - 01 TT with NCT to 2020 and tax to 4/19 €1450

Impressive miles @ 200k!

Comes back as a 6 speed 180 bhp, I thought only the 225 was 6 speed but maybe I'm wrong, or maybe it was registered incorrectly.

I would imagine with that mileage and an early NCT its probably not entirely bad either.
