Lovely looking car alright Duke. Best of luck with the sale. Don't imagine that will hang around too long!
On the subject of 90's cars, been watching for Alfa 145's for months now, and then 2 arrived in last couple of days, but this one looks very good
Passed NCT this week, until May of next year and almost 3 months of tax until the end of June. 89,000 miles
€995

This is the aforementioned Hybrid Civic I picked up yesterday..
Taxed till the end of the month, and only tested till July - but 1 owner (on the book at least) and only 140k kms. It drives well but definitely requires some getting used to. I'm not entirely sure how the whole hybrid malarkey works really but will get used to it.
Travellers up the road have had it since last week, and I've wanted to try either one of these or a Prius for a while now. Took a punt on it at a grand and I'll see how it goes I suppose!0 -

At a grand, it's very hard to go wrong there I think!
Best of luck with it, and report back on the hybrid findings too0 -
Front and rear bumpers let it down a bit. Brother of mine is in crash repair so I might get him to see to them, but I'm not going to spend too much on it just yet. Will give it an oil and filter change this week, and change the atf fluid. It has two very good Pirelli tyres on the front dated 2018, and two not so good Nankangs on the rear that I might get changed in the next few weeks. Other than that, I'll drive on and see how it compared to the Corolla

If it hasn’t one already, you can add an aux in to these very easily and cheaply.0 -

My own Octy.
https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/07-skoda-octavia-1-4-petrol-nct-may20/21529401
07 Octavia.
1.4 Petrol
280k km
Full service history
2 keys
4 new tyres
Taxed till 06/19
NCT till 05/20
Very good condition
Needs wheel bearing
Rear wiper motor gone.
Everything else fine.
TB done at 189k km. Think it will be due again at 289k km?
We've had it since 2007. Wife drove it for 10 years and me for the last 2. Only selling as I'm doing big miles so really need a diesel even though I'm getting 42mpg from it. Will be sad to see it go.
€1200 ono
Will do a good deal for boardsies

I can't see you holding on to that Duke, the ole gorilla would be as good on juice and they're positively dangerous on anything but town driving they're so slow. A friend had one that he paid stupid money for thinking the fuel savings would help him claw it back, he gave up on it after about 9 months and flogged it on losing a good few squids but he was glad to see the back of it.0 -

... no E11 Corolla though, you know it's all downhill from here for that car, which is a bit sad given it's condition at present.
I actually had a call from a Toyota main dealer down de' country this morning..so there is a glimmer of hope for the old thing yet
I did have a fella look at it yesterday; I was out at a classic car show up the road from my house and told him he could come and see it there. He drove up from Tullamore or somewhere, on his own (first sign..) - complained about a few factory welds under the boot carpet, a missing door protector thing and his parting words were "I wasn't expecting there to be any marks on it"; as in, he was expecting a totally blemish free car, for €700. Madness
I do wish I had somewhere for it. It really is one of the nicest e11s on Donedeal at the minute. Its in the corner of the yard now looking all forlorn0 -

That's unusual to get that! Brian Geary Car sales in Rathkeale by any chance? I see they tend to have a range of late 80's and 90's models across the Corolla/Starlet/Carina/Avensis range on display in their showroom there of late.0 -
