    Here are a couple of convertibles for the summer.

    Both look well minded, and the Merc in particular smacks of a genuine owner.

    Audi A4 2006 108 Petrol cabriolet covertible

    2000 Mercedes SLK 200

    If only we a) got a summer and b) were allowed out to drive them! :D

    Nope !

    'The dag' is getting a Subaru Forester ( read the ad :D ). 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


    :p

    Its probably on for not too bad a price all the same if it all checks out. Probably not the most desirable colour in them but hardly overly offensive either. I do love an ad that lists out the good points and more importantly the bad points - more sellers should do that.

    I'm sensing that you think dogs are not usually honest.


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

    That's not quite true, they do give warning but people turn a deaf ear. It starts with the dmf failing and turning itself into a solid flywheel, the extra vibration causes excessive wear on the rear main bearing..... Goodnight Dick after that, the failure can be quite spectacular!!

    Looks in great nick. At that price, you could pick it up and just leave it sitting up till the couple of bad winter months and effectively have a 4x4 on tap if you get bad weather or a bad snow. 3 months tax at a time and then declare it off the road.

    Get some money off and more the better. Just keep an ear out for the warning signs as another poster mentioned

    Never used anything other than water. Iron-X claims are impressive :), is the liquid foam something like Mr Muscle oven cleaner ? ( Not sure about Jif - to many hard to get to corners in the detail ? )

    Thanks all, sorry for taking the thread O/T

    Jif works great for tyres

    Honest enough ad too. Looks like it could be a nice buy if you can insure it. Could be an issue for some prospective buyers

    I think the straight six does them no favours.

    I had heard the IS200 described years ago as "1.0 performance, 2.0 tax, 3.0 fuel consumption".

    Thst one does look lovely.

    Had a friend that owned one and no matter how much he tried, 20mpg was his aim.

    Still a fairly fresh looking car, a taxi driver I know of had one, he worked in Dublin and lived in Laois, never any major bother with it.
