    1 owner from new, a retired bishop no less
    Brand new tyres all round (Davanti)
    Never failed an NCT, or even had an advisory..ever
    Serviced religiously (:pac:) every year, full history essentially
    Couple of small marks, but its very presentable, and like new inside

    It will be going on Donedeal on Monday for 1750. If anyone here thinks it might be for them, 1500 will buy it.

    The photo will do, look at the information board outside, who would have that on their house.

    Smashing looking corolla, mint out of a box....

    Cannot be genuine, no Padre Pio sticker in the windscreen....

    And great buyers they are too! Cash up front every time ;)

    Lots of orders are reducing their fleet numbers drastically. The Yaris I posted previously belongs to a crowd reducing 10 cars to three, all Yaris’ and Corollas to EVs, most likely Leafs

    So long as they are not raiding the donation basket from Sunday mass to buy them!
    They can't get priests anymore so no surprise they don't need cars.
    We'd a father trendy in our parish growing up, he'd a red alfa.

    Might have been. Not sure on the model.

    I remember a young priest came to the parish where I grew up and he had a red 146, so when I saw it mentioned, I assumed it was same guy

    What parish mate? I'm talking Kilnamanagh in the late 80s/early 90s, can't remember exactly the year.

    My father was in the trade in the 70's/'80's - he supplied Fiats and Lancias to parishes up and down the country. Eamon Casey was a great fan of the 2 litre twin cam Lancias! Many were pulled from ditches in west Kerry.....

    At that money, even for a shed like that it'll surely be gone tomorrow.

    He wasn't a Fr. Jose Fernandez by any chance?

    Ah! Definitely not. Down in Laois this was. Seems there were a few of them had the thing for red Alfas so! :D

    They must have been dipping into the parish fund because afaik they get a very small allowance for themselves.

    No guarantee though.

    A fine man uncle gaybo organised a witch hunt for.


    In the 1980s in West Waterford the curate in our parish also drove an Alfa. Complete prick but liked his cars

    I have no connection but most of these cars qualify for thread.

    Eyes wide open, I presume that they are scrappage deal cars.

    Diocesan priests can be independently wealthy too, a good friend of mine has a brother a priest in Dublin and he has a beautiful 182 Golf high line...and three houses

    That's a shame. Did your focus sell in the end or can you fall back on it?

    I sold the focus to buy this. I'll just have to do without a car for a while until I sort myself out financially..
