BANGERNOMICS (sub2k) of the week/day Part 6
Comments
-
So I joined the bangernomics gang last month and this weekend finally got to properly drive it.
Paid 950 for a 06 2.5 outback with nct till December.
It had 318k on the clock and fairly full service history.
Just brought it back to Poland last night where it's about to tick over to 321k.
Didn't miss a beat.
Stereo is dire and for anyone that has never had one you'll never know what I mean.
Consumption, we averaged between 8.4-9 all the way which isn't too bad all things considered.
Have a good feeling about this one

Just reverse into tolls and exits. Simple

My first car was one of these! (Actually the van version, but still, for old times sake, I definitely would!):D0 -
Duke had it up last week also. Very surprised that hasn't shifted yet as it's one of the cleanest looking ones on there right now, with a long term owner also!https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/saab-93-estate/23129557
Clean looking 2007 Saab estate , 1.9 tid ,
1500 clams

Did you get that from Holden Motors? I traded one in with them recently that fits that description.0 -

Something a bit different:
Long NCT, tiny mileage, looks tidy, and 1.4 k-series not nearly as horrible as the internet would have you believe. Just look beyond the biscuit tin build quality and soak up the admiring curious glances.
At €1150 its worth a punt.0 -

My brother had the 1996 400 version of this.
It was some money pit, I'd say it was the worst car he's owned.
The body shape is identical, I hope the engine isn't.0 -

Diesel, auto, NCT till March 2020 - €650
1 previous owner, Irish from new and only 75k miles (if it is to be believed, which I would). This could be a nice yoke if it all checks out0 -
I did yeah, Jesus small world
Anything I should know about it? Seems tight as a drum.
Yeah, small world! I traded it in against a Jag XF estate (got €500 for it...).
I had it for about 5 years and it was rock solid all the time. We replaced the rear shocks, and other wearables but that was it. It also got regular servicing. It just got 2 new tyres earlier this year, can't remember front or back. But the other two need changing also as they are quite old.
When we traded it in it needed a new exhaust. We had hoped it could be welded but our mechanic checked it out and it was blown in quite a few places and couldn't be welded/repaired.
We were intending to change the car next year anyway, but with a new exhaust and 2 tyres needed for the NCT in December we decided to change it.
I've no idea if Holden changed the exhaust so I would check that out if I were you. The main place it was blown was the connection just behind the cat, where it couldn't be welded as there was a double skin on one side of the join.
All in all it is a great car, rock solid reliable. We had bought it to tide us for for a year and kept it for nearly 5, so that says it all.
4 wheel drive was great fun in the snow
Best of luck with it.0 -

I thought I could hear a little rattle off of it.
Cheers for the write up cause it gives me a clue what was happening since the last of the service history.
You took good care of it
Incidentally do you know when the belt and pump were last changed?0 -
