Very high on the wanted list for myself. Had a 318ci e46 coupe a few years back and loved it. If my commute changed and didnt need a diesel, I'd have something like above in the drive.

I’ve had every iteration of this car from 318i to 330d, the manual 325 is the one you want though, fantastic sounding and just enough power for it to be fun too. They’re not that bad on juice actually, being a manual really helps, the auto 325 is thirsty.

Now this is a proper wagon, priced at €2200 so probably got sub 2k. 6 cyl 325i touring in topaz blue and also manual! I’d say this is as rare as they come on this side of the pond. Someone please buy it or I’ll have to.

That's a beaut!!

If I could stomach the fuel bill, I'd be all over that.

Two tone Rav 4 with leather and NCT until 02/21. Wouldn’t normally be a fan but this looks kinda cool

Honestly too many things wrong with that to qualify for this thread.

Very hard to know what cars will make in the current climate, but normally if it's a 1.4 petrol and with mileage as low as that, I'd be listing for around 1250, hoping to get a grand or maybe 1100, but something tells me it would probably be more like list at 950 or a grand, and expect 800

But a pretty valuable set of Ronal Turbos, if they're real.

Economical? Yes! Wearing 15" boots instead of 13". It must be 0.5-1l/100km more petrol penalty on that tiny engine.

Street cred comes with a price and that's a cheap price for a car that would be a young persons pride and joy starting off.

It effectively gives you longer gearing, so could potentially be more economical at motorway speeds. Would feel incredibly slow though.

That's a super find.

seller is a trader however before he got it that was or is a one owner car, it's a good spec, a good colour combo, decent test especially when you consider the potential extension and the bitta tax.

Too many reflections in the pics to rightly see the condition of the body but if it's in good shape that's a car a man could make money on next year if rally season gets back to normality.

That looks to be a very genuine car.

CoBo55 · 21-05-2020 11:34AM

Maybe some of the people here could help me out. I'm trying to find a starter car for my daughter, she's 28 on a learner permit, her budget is 1500 to 2000 at a push. She'll be starting from scratch so something insurable is most important. Her partner drives so travelling a reasonable distance from Co. Wexford for something decent can be done. Any help would be much appreciated.
My head is melted looking at cars tbh, her first preference is a Clio, wouldn't be my choice but that's life eh?

These are dirt cheap to insure usually. Not glamorous, but perfect for someone starting out IMO. Up in years too so won't be looked upon too unfavourably by the insurance cartel

In that price range, she's going to be looking at older cars and insurance companies won't insure her, as she's on a learner permit , so can't drive on her own yet. And getting back to driving tests may take a while with the current situation.
Best bet would be to get insured on her partners car and save up till she has her test done and buy something newer.

Good luck with it anyway

one of these,the aygo,yaris,sirion, all the best of starter off cars imo,fiesta aswell

punisher5112 · 21-05-2020 12:20PM

If doing long distance I'd look at auris diesel or Clio or megane or fluence.... 2009 to 2011 should pick up at that budget.

Might be surprised at insurance as won't be ancient either....

Hyundai should be cheap to insure and would be reliable: https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/hyundai-i20-11-20-nct/24644701

Very clean focus with a nice spec. The 1.25 engine may bring insurance up though: https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/ford-fiesta-2008-zetec-1-2-l-nct-full-history/24618334

VW fox with very long NCT. My sister has one, it was her first car also and insurance was very reasonable. It's been relaible too, just one HT lead has been the only mechanical replacement: https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/08-volkswagen-fox-1-2-nct-amp-tax/24449378

Something a bit out there but I really like it. Bar the fact it has had 8 previous owners: https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/08-twingo-1-1-gt-irish-car-/24078578

Duke O Smiley · 21-05-2020 12:47PM

Never realised the Fox was sold here new, always thought they were all UK imports

325i with claimed 40k miles, NCT til September and tax til June, €995

Seems a bit too good to be true? Especially with the miles, but its from a dealer, so who knows?

bazz26 · 21-05-2020 01:07PM

It's a gamble alright, a cheap BMW can end up being a very expensive car to own. It does look very tidy though.

Future classic, price will only go up.

Gone to €1500 in just over an hour.
