Nice ad for the Volvo which looks very clean. Great range of pics.

Absolutely hate the description for the BMW which is all in caps. In my area it's always the chancers who capitalize the ads.

Yeah it includes METALLIC PAINT, , REMOTE CENTRAL LOCKING, ELECTRIC WINDOWS AND ELECTRIC MIRRORS AND AIR CON. I wonder what other cars have these amazing features :pac:

This is a real bug bear of mine, my first car a 97 honda civic had all of those for feck sake.

That Volvo looks very clean for a 14 year old car, unfortunately insurance companies would probably have a field day with quotes.
Any ideas what the 1.8 petrol an car overall is like? are they a flex fuel engine, Ive heard of issues with them, but not sure what it was offhand OR if this is one.
Is it slightly highly priced?

And it's miraculously shed 10k miles.

Either way it looks like a car that has served its previous owners well with that mileage.

bazz26 · 03-04-2020 10:45PM

I noticed the mileage difference alright but my feeling is that if someone was going to clock they would shave more than 10k off it.

Insured mine 05 for under 500 euro with 123 just last month. That was new policy. Not renewal.

I did own that car for 3 years at that time, not sure if that matters, but they asked.

Some like a drop of oil, but you could be lucky and get one that doesn't and no that wouldn't be the flex fuel engine.

Lucky? that doesnt sound encouraging, any warning signs if it likes to consume oil? how can you tell its not a flexifuel do you mind? is it the badging on the boot, I couldnt really make it out but it looks like it says 1.8 re the engine size, I dont know if the flexifuel engined versions have other markings there, i think the fuel cap is yellow or there are stickers to highlight flexfuel, but not visible from the pictures, looks clean overall.

wotzgoingon · 03-04-2020 11:36PM

No warning signs for burning oil. Just check the level regularly and top up as required.

Sexual Chocolate · 03-04-2020 11:39PM

Only ones after 08 are flexi fuel.

colm_mcm · 04-04-2020 10:32AM

The flexifuel ones are badged 1.8F as well I think

€750 above limit, but on sale for 12 days and 2k might tempt him. NCT valid until September, auto, cream leather, one owner looks good to me.

High tax but some lump of a car for the money

Some yoke alright, something wrong with a system that has that worth 2.5K (Assuming it's as described).
What was that worth new, 50 K?

He'll be a long time waiting to get 2.5k for that, it's a 12 year old 2.4d car with over 200k miles on it and no tax.

What difference does that make on an 07 car?
(Or even any car)
FWIW, it was imported an awful long time ago.

Toyotafanboi · 05-04-2020 12:15PM

Them hideous long chunky import reg numbers would put me off, genuinely.

They're nearly a nod to the nation's motoring history and might be cool one day though.

Personally speaking each and every UK imported car I ever viewed underneath, of which there have being a considerable few were ruined with corrosion. Now you might argue that all that was a very unlikely coincidence but rightly or wrongly so it would very much put me off buying or even viewing a UK import.

They put a lot of salt on the roads which rots the underside of cars. Newer cars are more resistant, but not totally. Also, hosing down the underside is a good idea, but how many do so?

Why would a genuine Irish car have miles? Or is it because it looks better. I'd say if you waved 2k in notes under his snout you'd be driving away.

Because 203,000 miles looks less than 326,700 km's.

If I was in the market for a 2k car that wouldn't be anywhere near the list never mind on the shortlist.

I know. Traditionally speaking cars from the greater London region would have being the worst but that may no longer be the case in more recent years.

Sam Russell wrote: »

Maybe so and possibly depends on the model but I wouldn't be overly convinced for all. I viewed UK imported 2010 Auris and 2011 Mondeo about 2 years ago and both were in a right bad way underneath with advanced corrosion. A few insuiated since to me since that I was incorrect or at least may have being mistaken as Toyotas should not rust like that but believe me it was in a bad state.

Sam Russell wrote: »

Yep. The English would generally be better when it comes to care care than us but in reality I would say very few overall very few would get the underside hosed down properly often enough in the Winter months.
