If you like the model you can find one for reasonable money with nct.

They are cheap.

Brake Control module - same in s60's.
Dead giveaway is cruse control not working. This is a light on the dash and is a €900 part.
light cannot be switched off without replacing the module.
They know exactly what is wrong.

I'd agree, I had one in very same colour for a very short time, gave the very same problem, got rid of it.

Yea that makes sense alright. Might give them a call and see what they say.

Just happen to like that model and thought it was a good option

Thanks for all the responses.

Dude, can I just say any advice you get on here is only ever gonna be tip top.

Cadaliac's keen eye above demonstrates that.

Avoid this machine at all costs.

Spend enough time on this thread and you soon learn what sort of expertise is about the place.

A year newer
2.5 instead of 3 litre (little bit easier on the pocket for tax!)
Just over 80,000 miles, about 6 weeks tax remaining and also NCT'd until 2020
Seriously tempting!!!

Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime · 12-06-2019 04:59PM

I know I'm going back here but from experience of friends of mine, if bill Griffin is selling a car sold as soon , no NCT etc. Then there is something wrong with it and he's not willing to fix it

Like that C6 he was selling a while back it had an issue with the gearbox !

But if he's selling with warranty and NCT he should be fine

Daithi101 · 12-06-2019 05:16PM

Thanks for all the advice lads. I'm not in desperate need of a car it was just something that struck me as nice. Anyhow I gave them a ring after lunch and it was sold.

But will defo keep an eye here as there seems to be some great finds popping up.

Be careful though. This thread gets addictive and then you find yourself traipsing down to South Wexford on a wet Tuesday night to pick up a 1990 Carina.

Wouldn't worry too much about the bumper, probably just worn from the knees of the people pushing it to the petrol station.

Some WOW factor in the 4th picture, mighty car in fairness.

johndaman66 · 13-06-2019 12:33AM

Should be relatively light on the pocket and looks clean. Ideally a bit light on NCT though.

2007 Civic 1/3 litre 6 speed,

Same here.
I'm lusting after a v8 one. Only for I have no storage at the moment (and I'm already paying for my corona monthly storage) I'd have bought the v8 that's on DD now. Some amount of flash for sub 1k

trixiebust · 13-06-2019 10:19AM

Lots of Civic talk here recently, so here's another. Fresh NCT,low mileage & all for €850.

The v6 is supposedly not too bad on fuel either if the talk is to be believed?

:D:D

Reminds me of the 80s going back to the UK and having to push the car off the boat at Fishguard and down to the petrol station because we'd try and buy as little petrol in Ireland during the Christmas and try and make do with fumes. We weren't the only ones. :pac:

More than a year newer, also the last model revision. The last of the S's had a lot of improvements brought over from the newly developed XJ model, which makes the two very different cars from one model year to the next...

26000 Elephants · 13-06-2019 01:47PM

Some Puntonomics, €399 from a dealer. Long NCT to 3/20

I was able to get 30mpg out of the 3.0 manual

Incidentally, the 3.0 manual is only 0.3 of a second slower to 60mph than the 4.0 V8

Always had a soft spot for these and the Camry but still always wondered who in their right minds ever bought them given how much they would set you back!

bazz26 · 13-06-2019 04:54PM

That looks mint, even the leather looks great. Yeah it's expensive but those v6 engines are fairly bullet proof so if you could get it for €1200 it might work out reasonable spread across the entire length of ownership.

I had one in the late 90's and it was a hand-me-down from the directors of the company (Civil Engineering Co.). That director was a very shrewd chap and he'd always have something nice but non German he reckoned it was better for turning up to meetings in as opposed to 530-740 BMWs which was far more the norm back then in England.

Company cars is all I would ever associate them with!
