9-3 1.8t convertible with a years NCT for €1950

2 owners, original Irish, reasonable miles and claimed full history etc. Could be a nice buy, provided we actually get a chance to enjoy this weather at some stage this year

NCT til September, tax til July, same owner since 2009, nice plate, €2k

I would be willing to bet that this is a total gem. Always the case when someone has over mats protecting the floor mats!

Nice looking 07 Jimny with NCT til January 2021 and a bit of tax, €1950

For the same money you could have the big, comfy leather-clad Lexus above, but different strokes for different folks and all that. I think this looks class

Looks like it was smoked in a bit, fag burns on A pillar

wotzgoingon · 11-04-2020 08:10PM

I once bought a smokers car. Jesus it was bad, the smell for weeks after I bought it may even have been a few months but it was a local and cheap banger to do me for a while which is why I bought it in the first place. But yea I said never again.

I'd say this person never cracked the window to let the smoke out as it was pretty bad.

To be honest I think 2 grand for either of those last three you listed is way too much.

The Saab looks the best value of the three to me but still overpriced.

Rows Grower · 11-04-2020 08:23PM

And hey Duke, it's not because I don't have two pennies to rub together.

I don't know, those marks just look like typical wear that you'd see on trim pieces (especially beige) but maybe I'm wrong.

The magic tree might be an indicator though!

Id have the Saab as the worst value personally.

2k for the lexus with the bit of tax and where the seller specifically states they're willing to negotiate on price is most definitely not way too much.

FSH and overall condition is a big plus for the Saab, the eventual cost of tax on the Lexus and the high mileage makes it an expensive buy.

But to each their own, if we all thought the same it would be a boring world.

I guess you don't follow Jimny prices much - 2k for a clean looking 07 vehicle is actually a very good price if its as good as it looks in the photos. Probably a little wiggle room too (ONO).

Yep, you guessed right, I don't follow Suzuki Jimmy prices much, you're actually dead right there. I've driven a few though.

It is not a clean looking example by any stretch of the imagination, there appears to be rust on the passenger side seat rail which is highly unusual and might suggest the snorkel exhaust was installed for a particular purpose.

I would imagine that anyone who would go to the bother and the expense of installing a snorkel type exhaust would have been travelling through rivers or streams on a regular basis.

That's not what snorkels are actually for. They are mainly to avoid the engine drawing in the dusty air from around the front of the car on unmade tracks. If you are driving in water where you need to have the air being drawn in above the windscreen, you have significantly more problems that will be solved by a snorkel.

But usually it's just cosmetic.

wotzgoingon · 12-04-2020 03:35AM

They are used for both getting clean air away from dust and also for driving through water.

You would also imagine someone waxing lyrical about the particular uses of a snorkel would know it's an intake, not an exhaust.

Decent looking 08 Corolla Luna with NCT til November and tax til September for €1200

Same owner since 2011. A bit nondescript but this looks very nice, and is well priced.

BonnieSituation · 12-04-2020 07:12PM

Someone just passed their test.

Are they really falling in price that quickly or is that about right? Seems cheap to me for an 08?

09 automatic Jazz, NCT til October, cheap tax, €1750

I think these are great looking little cars.

It seems cheap to me. People will say a saloon isn't as desirable as a hatch, but both are great sellers. I'd have put that car at €1750 myself (and lost the L plates)

BonnieSituation · 12-04-2020 08:07PM

I much prefer the saloon. But yeah, seems cheap. I guess they just want rid now that they can drive the obviously bigger engined other car they possess.

colm_mcm · 12-04-2020 09:50PM

It’s rare you see them quoting too many previous owners.

Car looks fine to me, but realisticly, how much more is a 12 Yr old plain Jane Corolla worth, one with nearly 1/4 million kilometers on?
I like Toyotas BTW.

08s with less miles were in and around 2300 or so in my head. So it is cheap no matter how you look at it.

Even if you got it to November for 900/1000 you'd be laughing.

I'd say they want a quick sale and judging by its salubrious environs they would want rid.

And sure a 250k on a Corolla is barely broken in!

I like Toyotas BTW.

Good. We'd have to ask you to return your papers for otherwise.

02 Civic coupe Vtec 1.7 petrol 750euro.. car looks mint condition and original

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/02-civic-coupe-vtec-1-7-petrol/24534274

I own one of these cars in red and mines an auto with less miles than above.. they are great to drive and are rare enough on the roads.. I've considered updating my car but i can't bring myself to part with it if i can only get about 750euro for it.. it still shines like brand new when i wash it.. i'll probably still be driving it in 5 years

Roycropper63 · 13-04-2020 09:45AM

08 Corolla gone already....no surprise

colm_mcm · 13-04-2020 12:51PM

The fastest it’s ever gone I’d say.
