Doom blue Rover 75 with test til August, €450

Late one too being an 06. Looks a bit tired, but I'd drive it!

Also, if you put the reg into the NCT website, it lists a due date in December. Covid extension presumably

What you guys think? I'm gonna look at this car next week as it's locally near me also thinking of trading my ford fiesta for it.

Honestly are you really going to buy a car or just keep the festa....

Try get it for a bit less, go look, haggle and buy if it all checks out, I'd still recommend getting it looked at either way....

At them prices warranty really isn't going to be much to be honest and you would be as lucky as a lotto winner for it to be upheld.

I am going to replace the fiesta one way or another it is already going out - burning oil and gearbox are quite rough, I will definitely check the car out first and if it's alright I will try and trade my fiesta for it. Then I'll have some cash aside if the renault needs servicing.

It is a trade sale - so not much warranty if any. High miles so eyes wide open.

Just saying.

FrankC21 · 16-05-2020 08:48AM

I remember when I bought my fiesta of Donedeal last march asking price was €2500 from a semi-dealer and he drove all the way from Clondalkin to Dun Laoghaire - I managed to get the price down to €2000, and few months after that, I heard the man that sold me the fiesta got charged for selling another car that got involved in a car accident without informing the buyer.

I bought an 08 estate version in 18, similar mileage. Hasn't let me down and comfortable. As a commuter I'm getting nearly 47mpg. So far just regular servicing! Hope that's helpful!

If the 'timings bells' breaks, the seller has a recovery truck to sort you out. You cannot lose! :-)

Just checked our Alfa on the NCT site and they've pushed the expiry out to September. Be nice if they sent us a cert to that effect though.

And really, at this stage they should give passes to cars they didnt certify due to the ramp issue. That shambles is just criminal at this stage

It's plastered all over the NCT website and the news - all NCT certs extended for 4 months

No, a new certificate will not be issued. An Garda Síochána will be aware that all NCT certificates with an expiry date on or after 28 March 2020 are valid for 4 months after the expiry date printed on the windscreen disc.

Remember that it's easy to knock off a chunk of money from the asking price when the asking price is inflated to begin with. A 2008 Fiesta was never worth 2500 to begin with.

That Laguna has a big rusty hitch on it so make sure that the clutch are gearbox are working perfectly as that 1.5 diesel engine has enough to do pulling that Laguna around by itself, not to mind a trailer too.

No, a cert is extended by reissuing it. What they are doing is disregarding them.

1.6 Alfa 156, test til October, €500

I can't remember the last time we've had one of these in here. They haven't aged well IMO, but I can definitely appreciate a survivor like this!

I wonder why he decided to hide the car in the pictures?

Duke O Smiley · 16-05-2020 05:23PM

Yeah, I wouldn't imagine the pictures would be too flattering if they were taken in daylight

They were taken in an underground carpark. Not a great choice. FWIW things become a bit clearer if you increase the gamma on the pics.

Would have been better with the regulation 10 pics - even if they were all taken in an underground.

SCOOP 64 · 16-05-2020 05:55PM

Id say you would get that for €50.

Thoughts on this? Looks in good condition and the dealer saying it'll have NCT sorted for the sale;

Asking for €895

Seems the dealer managed to get a test on it just before lockdown, NCT site lists a May 2021 expiry date.

In my experience they used to eat coil packs and window regs. I think they’re a nice car to drive though and very comfortable for what they are.

A fine bangernomic that will probably do another 200,000 miles hassle free once the oil and filter are changed a few times.

Toyotafanboi · 17-05-2020 08:08AM

I know it really doesn't matter in this case but it should be against the law to paint wheels black. It's definitely a sign of something with the owner.

Don't think they look bad myself but if the Greens get into government your wish might just come true.
