I'm always wary of cars that look bad in the photos - they tend to be infinitely worse in the flesh. Plus, he has my #1 red flag: "no timewaters" This guy has dealt with a lot of disappointment when people view it.

But a 2.4 diesel at 1.6 tax for 1.1 money makes it worth the look if that's what you need.

Edit: actually looking at it again it's not that bad looking.

Not surprisingly he doesn't want anyone wasting his time seeing as he's got 15 other cars listed, must be a busy man!

He would appear to be saving cars from the breakers and then selling them on, I would run a mile.

I'd love to know how many traders are on donedeal, seems like an epidemic of them!

Full years test on this Panda for €495

A bit scruffy but a grand car for the money all the same!

I just realised that I know the seller of that S80. He isn't buying cars directly out of breakers yards if that is what you are implying. He sells cars that dealers wouldn't exactly sell off of their forecourts

I'm don't think there is anything wrong with that either.

tnegun · 30-10-2019 08:00PM

Thats fair enough if you know him but being an off the books dealer and the other ads would have me running or at least very sceptical is all.

Duke O Smiley · 30-10-2019 08:21PM

Personally unless I’m spending close to five figures I’m not really concerned about the seller, what he does or if he’s a dealer etc. Eyes wide open if course, but if the car fits the bill I’ll but it

Personally, I'd pass on any Fiat Panda's on offer.....worked for awhile in a company which ran a large body shop as part of the business, and they had a few Panda's in the fleet. So I saw at first hand what effect even a small shunt had on them, so Thanks, but no Thanks. But not every one has had the same experience with them, so if they take your fancy, go right ahead !!!

320d with test till July 2020, €600

Looks tidy enough. Drawbar and everything

colm_mcm · 30-10-2019 09:50PM

There’s something so honest about a 320d with amber indicators.

I’d love that. I have no room or use for it though.

Is that a Padre Pio sticker I see in the bottom left hand corner of the windscreen too? Another hallmark of a good car

They're a great machine when working well. Do near anything a full size 4x4 would do, very good towing capacity and not awful on diesel either if driven handy.

Expensive problems can crop up but at a grand clean ones are worth a punt imo.

A lot of the older ones are starting to die. I know quite a few people that had them for towing and ended up with massive issues. Several needed engine replacements, which were not economical to repair. Crankshaft bolts tend to break.

I think there were several class action suits in the US over them throughout the years.

The crank pulley problem is more commonly seen in relation to the 3.5 v6 petrol ones.

But ya the 2.5crdi's can have their fair share of problems especially injector and injection pump problems and also timing chain problems. The transfer case is another known weak point.

Any of the above would leave one uneconomical to repair but that said at a grand for a well minded one I'd take the chance.

Looking at the drivers side pics, it almost looks like this one has already started to disintegrate has it?

Seems like both sills or maybe the doors have had work done and painted over

bazz26 · 31-10-2019 04:18PM

Looks like a rotter to me. Bubbles on the bottom of both doors where the shut line meets the side skirt. Same with where the bumper top line meets the rear quarter.

Next time you see it it'll be on cut springs and will go "boo" as it kerb crawls at 20 mph.
