BANGERNOMICS (sub2k) of the week/day

The swift is lovely, always liked those. My old man has an sx4 and tho it's a bit plasticky inside, it's not a bad car, road noise a but more than I'd like but it's very easy to drive. I'd imagine the swift is similar.

How cheap should it be?

I'm not a car dealer, but I personally wouldn't give that car a second glance at over 800 euro. Because of the tax it's going to be at least one and a half grand to drive it for a year at that price and I wouldn't think there would be a lot of people interested in buying it next year.

That's just my honest opinion, how much do you think it should be selling at yourself?

I'm a big Bangernomics fan but I don't buy to sell on. I typically buy cheap high tax propositions that have had loads of work done and that have been proven to be bulletproof when serviced. So for now, it's a 2006 CRV ctdi. High tax but a serious proposition for small money. Even managed to buy winter tyres and alloys, all for well under 2k. There still isn't enough price pressure from 08s yet to walk away from the quality motors to be had, high tax or not.
That Octavia is a beaut at that price. Supreme winter hack or year round daily driver. Who'd have thought 10 years ago that we'd have cars that sweet in Bangernomics? Like a diesel Audi 80, except better built.

The mileage has hardly insanely high anyway at @ 239k km. That's around 150k miles which is less than 12k miles per annum. That's possibly a bit on the low side for a diesel if any and not average. Granted he's not giving it away or anything but I think its on for quite good money taking the annual motor tax cost into account and knowing that it killing the value of older cars - but fair to say that's all factored in I would suggest.

Couple of months NCT, taxed until May, probably buy it for €200 if you arrived with the cash hanging out of your pocket!! :eek:

Listed at €495, only 84,000 miles, and still 2 months test left on it
Nice automatic for under 500 quid!

Those are made entirely from caramel... In those Mazdas everything rots away, from calipers to the roof. Plus engine that sometimes needs more oil than petrol.

It might be cheap, but it is at least 749 to expensive...

Ah fair enough you seem to be in the know in fairness. The one I drove was a 04' belonging to my cousin. He mentioned once alright that there was a bit of corrosion underneath but nothing overly severe that he seemed very concerned about and it is a car that would have spent a good deal of its life near the coastline. Granted he did go through a few brake calipers I think recall him mentioning but then again the same chap has gone through brake calipers in just about every car he has had I think and there have being a good few brands. Can't ever recall him mentioning that it was partial to a good drop of oil. Then again that was just one car.

2002 Opel with a €1k tax?! With expired tax? Just welded?!

Oops, missed the welded bit!

Suppose the other points you make are quite valid too..

I would take welded to be the diff rather than bodywork. A popular "slab car."

They were generally reliable, more so than the 1.3 and 1.9 diesel versions. 1.7 lump is derived from Isuzu that was modernised by GM over the years.

2k seems a little on the cheap to me given it's on the cheap tax system. I'd be looking into the service history to verify that mileage is genuine.

Has 30% more power than the 800cc Matiz... which was quite underpowered.
I'd say that's a useful car and looks straight.
My sister had an older model that I think was prone to brake issues. I'd make sure that braking was A1 and were serviced somewhat recently.

Type in "04 Passat estate, Mallow" on DoneDeal and see what you think of it.

I hope you get the other fiasco sorted sooner rather than later.

Reliable and simple
Guaranteed resale too as they're in demand for export so if you could get it for as close to €650 as possible you'd lose nothing.
Only thing to look out for would be that the cooling system is up to scratch.
