This looks like it might be worth a punt.
2011 Mondeo 2.0 diesel;
280k KM;
NCT 01/2021 and a few weeks tax;
280 EUR tax p.a.
Timing belt and water pump done were told
Asking 1,950 EUR

I really like the styling of those Mondeos, do those 2 litres give any trouble? Also the faded Ford badge on the front would drive me mad.

03 Camry, same owner since 04, main dealer seller, NCT til September and tax til August - €1750

Yes, its a bit expensive, but I really like the look of this. Interesting video attached too, your man is good at his job!

Nice bus, dont think I could stomach 12 minutes of yer man talking ****e though.

Ah in fairness, yer man is much better than Bob Flavin.

Not much going on since quarantine so I watched the whole thing. I like his style and I do like the car. The car is actually a bit haggard with the rusty arches, bumper scuffs, cracked windshield etc which takes away from the pitch as it isn't mint and you're paying mint condition money.

I'd say that car is standing them €250 max. There'll probably be more profit in that yoke than half the retail stuff on the forecourt.

In my experience there is often a lot of wiggle room when buying stuff like that from main dealers, they tend to be happy with the first half decent offer put to them.

It certainly isn't the mint tidy example that you'd hope for, in fact I'd say he has done himself a disservice with the video, but he's trying something different and you can understand what he is doing.

Your man has bit of a silver tongue about him....

I took that to mean that they don't make them like they used to sort thing.

No doubt a lot of merit in what he's saying but it would be difficult to take whatever pitch he would use to try to shift one of them Mercedes to someone who saw that video after some of his commentary there....Which at the end of the day surely must be his bread and butter rather than sub €2k sold as seen Toyota's.

It's funny you should say tat. This was exactly what was going through my mind listening to him.

could still be an honest car even if the seller isn't.

Does the dag come with the car? :pac:

Nope !

'The dag' is getting a Subaru Forester ( read the ad ). Dag has given driver the job of getting shut of the present 20 yo banger which is almost out of tax.

Reckon 'the dag' is a pretty sharp operator

Thats a mistake. I bet you were thinking of cats.

You would say that.
