    There was a cohort of 2010 megane estates bought by lads where I work at least 8+. Large company, over 500 spaces. All 1.5 dci engines on cheap tax.

    About 4 of them are still there in 2020, I know the owners. All still happy. Some have done large mileage, others tiny.

    I compare that to volvo v50 1.6 diesels. About 10 were bought new or nearly new in 06-08, I know at least 5 of owners. All gave enough serious trouble to be ditched before they were 5 years old.

    So I'd be favouring Renault over Volvo.

    To be fair, i'd well favour the 1.5dci engine over the 1.6hdi PSA engine in anything. I drove an old megane (megavan) with the 1.5dci for a while, was a grand engine (for a diesel).

    Probably not the best example, but a nice bit of flash for less than a grand

    Judging by the cow box in the background the clutch could have a share of lugging done, if the car has a hitch! The photos were taken by Stevie Wonder too...

    well. I can promise you, that these cars had clutch failures at less than 40k from new, pulling 1 occupant.

    So I wouldn't worry about it pulling cow boxes.

    OK. :confused: I know what a turbo charger is. Didn't need a link to explain it.

    To put it more bluntly the post you quoted should have said that car is a ball of shít with extra parts to go wrong that a N/A car could do better.

    Another ad, same text, stupidly low miles, both dealing since 2020 on Donedeal, both using same method to block out number!

    Stupidly low mileage, NCT manually altered as usual, plates blocked out as usual, and most of the text is the same as used in previous ads too

    Anyone ever have worries about flood damaged cars from Cork? Particularly pre 2010 cheap cars.

    Civic looks a good bargain

    I wasn’t in the market for it, but it just came up and I could resist it.

    125k, timing belt done at 89k, fsh up to 2012, drives beautifully, everything works. Nct’d Until March (meh) bit it’s taxed until 5/20

    Tax is a bit of a killer but is sooooo nice.

    I’ve owned barges before w220, w124,w210 but this Japanese jag is a step above.

    Honestly it’s a beauty, whisper quiet and bodywork is 99% mint, interior is mint. Everything works.

    I bought it to tick it off my automotive bucket list but I think I’m going to hold onto it. The build quality is better than mercs of the same vintage.
