OK, since Almeras ain't so popular in these parts, how about this yoke?

Mileage relatively low, tested till Feb 20, reg is blocked in the ad but visible on the windscreen discs and seems to check out, plus 2 months tax for €400.

And it's a saloon, not one of those Quasimodo liftbacks.

The liftbacks are not the most beautiful thing toyota ever produced but put the seats down and their practically is suberb. I have a liftback carina and she is like a van

All links seem to be working on my end. I checked on the laptop and phone and they seem sound on both.
Out of all of them I'd probably pick the jazz for an 80 year old. good high driving position and they're a relatively short car. The one I have linked is a bit faded but otherwise it seems to be very clean and honest. Last change of ownership was in April 18. I'd imagine a few pound could be knocked off the asking price and it's taxed till the end of June.

Also from 2003 is this honda Civic. It seems to have fared out better than R Kelly over the last 16 years or so and with it being taxed till the end of the month and tested till July, for 500 clamshells you too can be bouncing on 24s. Or probably 14s.

Hes a Belgian man who came to Dublin to work for Google. The car reminds Lorna too much of their good times together and since she is determined to make a fresh start, the car has to go.

Nice 2004 VW polo for sale here. Not much over 60 k miles on this with some recent work done.

Only a little bit of test left on it and i am wondering why Quinner is reluctant to re test it. He seems to be in a hurry to sell and will take 400 sheets for it.

Truth is Quinner is about to leave town and needs shot of it. Australia is probably his destination. He can play a bit of Gaah with his cousins that went out there last year and work on de buildings. Be some craic in fairness, Quinner.

Adam is off-loading his Picasso. 2003 with test till next year it looks like it could do someone some service. Only issue Adam mentions is an issue with the paint on one side. This is ironic as Picasso himself had some issues with paint during his Analytic Cubism period from 1909–1912.

http://www.adverts.ie/18096829

Pablo's work is regarded as some of the most influential of the 20th Centuary. Will Adam's Citroen be as highly regarded in the coming years?

For 270 bucks, Id say not.

I felt compelled to post this jammer because of the levels of Xenophobia and Automysophobia the description contains.

Its a 2007 Megan Wagon and while we are down to the last few days of tax and test, its decent milage and the condition is good.

Kevin find a USP in the fact that the last owner was a "Very Clean Non-Smoker" - quite what the level of hygine of the previous owner has to do with the car or his or her pass-times is beyond me.

He also pushes the fact that the car is Irish. Not some of that foreign muck. Must be a Ren'O in that case?

Anyway, give Kevin a call. Swing by with 500 lids and you will leave with diesel powered Paddy wagon and fiver in your pocket to get you home.

If you re-read it, focus on the lack of punctuation - so by "Very Clean Non-Smoker" - it says the owner was a non-smoker and was clean - the person, not the car.
