    NCT till June 2020, tax til January, lots of recent enough work done, €1600

    Could be a nice buy for 1500 quid if these are your thing.

    9-3 Aero, 210 bhp, NCT til June 2020, €1950

    Not the best time of year to be buying a soft top, but it seems a lot of car for the money

    That's what it's all about.
    300 quid worth of tax and new tyres, the rest of the car is basically free!

    1 owner Irish 03 520i, NCT till April 2020, €800

    Nice old smoker for the money

    Looks like a good clean example of a scarce car these days
    Had an E39 523 automatic years ago. Was a lovely car to drive, but alas, it went down the E39 route of cooling failure and fried the engine :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,092 ✭✭✭✭Duke O Smiley


    Yeah, to be honest they can be a bit of a risky/scary prospect these days. I think at 800 quid though (or less!) this one could be worth a punt!

    Should be solid enough, the tube of gorilla glue in the dash is nearly empty....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,092 ✭✭✭✭Duke O Smiley


    In other bangernomics news, it seems my time with the hybrid Civic is coming to an end after nearly six months to the day. Have it on Donedeal at the minute for €850, tested til next June and tax til November, IMA light illuminated. The phone has nearly melted, I suspect it’ll be gone very soon.

    Bit disappointed to be honest. Between purchase price and maintenance it stands me €1250. I’m hoping my next buy will be a bit more successful. It was a grand car but I won’t be rushing back into anything that risky any time soon!

    I’m off to look at Carinas and Corollas..

    So it's basically cost you nothing to be honest....

    Imagine a newer car you would be down 1000s

    Ah in fairness, if I had looked after it better, I'd have caught it in time
    Thermostat housing was cracked and leaking, viscous fan playing up, and eventually the water pump too

    That one there at 800 is well worth a shot. Let the Civic fund it!

    Its not great innings for a bangernomics car though, IMO.

    I would have been happy to drive it on into next year, having to look for something new is inconvenient at the minute too!

    Have an 05 S line A4 avant coming my way tomorrow, cheap, and tested. So realistically I may just jump into that. Or the Yaris I posted a few pages back.

    I'm spoilt for choice!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,856 ✭✭✭✭bazz26


    Looks very tidy, not cheap but has 8 months tax on it so evens itself out a bit:

    Haha. Hey, what do you expect for 2k? Its better than walking! :D
    The punto is serious bangernomics, its more or less free when you factor in the tax and tyres.

    Sold. I reckon I could have gotten a grand for it, the phone melted. And curiously enough I had a call from Honda Clonskeagh who wanted to buy it.

    That's a weird one. They must be selling them for 4 or 5k...

    Mad money the stock in clonskeagh.
