Another year, no nct report, but bangeromics are the business

So what's that now? 3 years since you bought it for €900? :eek:

Since we're being all nostalgic like. I'll throw my hat in the ring.

Got this tank from posting here over 2 years ago. Still going strong. Has cost me nothing apart from a new battery and tyres, failed the NCT on some pipe being rusted and fixed it but NCT closed down the day of my retest so no cert. Will pass when they reopen.

Ended up getting it for 650 I think and couldnt be happier with it. Mighty stuff for a 03.

Nice to read a few Bangernomics success story's, as above. How did the insurance work out for you all???

Dont want to derail the thread any more, but 350 this year.

Last few years were more expensive, closer to 600 due to penalty points, but that's based on perfect no claims history/full license 10years+.

Mine was the opposite I thought, **** on oil but not the worst on juice until you hit the motorway.

130 bhp TDI A4 avant, test til October, €575. Looks very clean for the money too, same owner for the last 3 years.

Can't goo too far wrong at 500ish for a diesel estate with a towbar and a bit of test.

They are still a fantastic looking car they aged really well.

No derailing going on...there is already a forum for motor insurance here on Boards.....this is a question specifically for Bangernomics buyers / owners. Given the present motor insurance situation in this Country. Not much point in buying a banger you really fancy, then discovering that it's uninsurable for you. That's why I asked what was the experience of the bangernomics Forum follower's. So anyone out there have a bad experience insurance wise after buying their banger???

Flagging my interest in case anyone here is selling! Looking for a decent car that would be in and around

1.4L
Saloon preferred
Based in Dublin
Looks well, not old or tired looking

I have a 02 1.4 Corolla that I'll need to get rid of, (got via a Done Deal link from here a while back!), the exterior is in terrible condition but it only has around 80,000 miles and flew through its last 2 NCTs.

€650 for insurance. Same as I paid for the car :pac: I was 29 when I got it. 03 1.4 Corolla, no claims in 12 years of driving, 10 years on a full licence and no points. Was €650 at renewal after they tried to charge me 680. Previous car was a 02 1 litre micra so maybe that's why they increased it, I dunno.
