    He's pricing in the wheelchair adaptions?

    He's pricing in sentimental value!

    I completely misread his rambling essay. I blame the Garbage concert last night (and partaking in some quality beverages)

    He is pricing in fantasy..

    He is looking a cars with similar mileage and seeing what they are getting and ignoring that its a 12 year old car, that's been discontinued and wasn't very popular to start with..

    If he gets 2K he should bite their arm off but I suspect he is the kind of guy would would leave it sit in a shed than sell it for 2k..

    They are still available in Europe alright, but some of them were around 40k when they came out. Nobody in there right mind would spend 10k on a Renault of that era

    I'm not sure that Espace has any wheelchair adaptions. Those tie downs can be made to fit the existing tracks so you just pop back in the seats.

    In short you're buying a 7 seater that just so happened to carry a wheelchair user.

    He hasn't even made it clear whether he's giving the ramps and tie downs with the sale.

    "Purchased this vehicle in England 3 months ago" and never bothered to VRT it so now you can.

    Edit: Also did he park in a handicapped space for that photo? Really makes me think he's an honest bloke I can trust.

    Genuine vehicle - doe'd 3 months ago - but photographed with UK plates? If its genuine lets see what it looks like now with its Irish plates. And if it's doe'd (which is actually CVRT now) is it a 2 seater or a crew-cab?



    Whole lot of waffle, but not a lot of actual useful information. :rolleyes:

    Big piece of sh!t imo... Who will VRT that thing and end up paying pre 2008 tax on it ? Scrap it, that's the best thing for it.

    Owned by a diplomat ? More then likely it wasn't, not that it makes it better if it was. He probably thinks it sounds better to just say this.

    His story screams of "WTF did I get myself into buying this thing, I need to get rid of it fast and recoup my losses".

    He bought it 3 months ago, says it was DOEd (I’d read MOTD from that) 4 months ago and the ad says it’s registered in the uk.

    This is lovely, but is it near 7 grands worth?

    Probably is for sure, either way hard to value it.

    Fanboy here and all but would nearly want a bit of a resto for that money, not just a spray and new wheels.

    Was DOE'd ABOUT 3 months ago . Was serviced ABOUT 4 months ago. What a tin roofer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,034 ✭✭✭selectamatic



    It's at least a 5k car going by the pics so depending on what it's like in the flesh it could get very close to that asking price.

    I think most sell but I've seen a good few price reductions. I think that's advertised at almost double it should be.

    That Carina owner has it a long long time, also has or had a white GTI too. It really is in amazing shape.

    But no. I’d never pay that for it. Not even half of that.

    There was a caldina turbo sold for a fair bit less than the asking (4.5k asking price i think?) of that carina gti recently, hard to see the gti being worth more than the 4wd turbo wagon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,309 ✭✭✭✭wotzgoingon


    Gimp alloys and stretched tyres. WHY, oh WHY?

    Nice set of alloys and non stretched tyres and you have yourself a nice car. I still don't think it would be worth 6 grand though.

    Yea but Caldinas don't have much of a following in Ireland, wheras Carinas are sort of "cult".

    Oh I know the carina would be the one, was just poking at the idea that it's not the 3sge powered carina that has all the grá, the cult following is more based around the diesel & the lane burn.

    A mint example of a dandable 2.0 diesel would ignite flames of passion across the country, possibly more than the gti

    This guy is known for optimistic pricing but usually backs it up with rare, unique stock.
    €24k for a 22 year old 4 cylinder, I know W124's have a following but I think this has another decade before it would be worth half that. Here's one for £8k (admittedly with double the mileage) and I still think that's crazy money

    So much to love in that Ad:

    "There is no end to the amount of work done to this vehicle... Cloth seat upholstery with additional cloth... windscreen wipers."

    Those look like specs from Jato and not something that was manually filled in.

    At least that one is turbocharged.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,060 ✭✭✭Sexual Chocolate


    Never knew until recently that them Focus were at the higher end of the 2.5 tax bracket. Always assumed they were €1080 a year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,309 ✭✭✭✭wotzgoingon


    And with 2 litre turbo performance.

    We had turbos back then too to be fair.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,060 ✭✭✭Sexual Chocolate


    If I'm correct the s60 and v70 t5s of the time still produced more power ? +260bhp ?

    Yeah they're mad tax. There's a guy in my apartment block with one, but it's utterly battered. Not a single body panel without damage, wheels are shredded, and the turbos clearly blown on it by the sound of it. I wonder why he still drives the thing at that tax rate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,034 ✭✭✭selectamatic



    Marked as sold on DD.

    If anyone knows the seller I'd be very interested to hear what he got for it.

    Nowhere near his asking price I'm sure. Someone must have talked some sense into him.
