BANGERNOMICS (sub2k) of the week/day Part 6

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/2002-audi-a4-1-9tdi-avant-estate/24926274





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.

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+.

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.

Clean looking octavia
Might do somebody small bit of test left a months tax
Usually bulletproof engine but I'm not sure of the reliability of the dsg box in it.

I'd drive it to be honest looking for something like it myself

Good specs, too.

Well I got the A4 Avant here last August and 2 weeks later I was due for renewal. Its a 2004 1.9tdi 130bhp and I got my cheapest insurance I've had in years. 490 euros for fully comp. I'm 51 and full NCB

Can you say which insurance company that is with?

Hi. That was with Chill.ie but it took a lot of crying and moaning to get it that low!!
The policy itself is with Allianz

123 was very kind to older cars owners recently, too

It's the top spec L&K Octavia, minimalist outside, hits big inside. Sleeper luxury.
