CHEAPO-ECO-MANIACS (sub-500euro)

I'd like to start a new thread for cars 500euro or less with an indate NCT. Also I added eco as using & maintaining these cars thus saving them from the scrapheap is defo ecofriendly. Preferably economical cars but any car will do! Let's have at it!

Asking €480 with a fresh year's test, small bit of tax left. Definitely been worse sheds for the same money in this thread recently :pac:

Thoughts?

5 previous owners ? Say it'll be a money pit

Toyotafanboi

That's not a particularly high amount of owners, one every 3 years or so?

I dont think it'd be a money pit at all. And if it was a sh1tter, you couldn't allow it be a money pit for the purchase price.

Its a fiat panda. You'd probably replace a fair amount of stuff for the price of 4 tyres on any modern car

My brother ran a cheap Skoda Fabia for a year, think he was the 13th owner.

That was the wife's car (until yesterday). We were only selling as she 'inherited' my mother's car a couple of months ago. The mother was finally put off the road by her doctor.
Had it 3 years, only put up 5k or so annually. Only issue was the crank sensor packing in a year ago . A quick Google with the fault code and a Tenner to the nearest breaker sorted it.

Other than that it's been totally reliable. We originally bought it to keep herself going for a few weeks but she liked the thing so much she kept it.

07 diesel X type estate, tested til September, €390

Flywheel a bit noisy. If its not too bad it could be worth a punt at 300ish, drive it into the ground and you'd probably get a few quid back if you sold it for parts

With the NCT extension you even get to January 6th 2021

Low mileage 3 door Starlet with test til December, €450

Provided it could be insured this would make a fantastic runaround.

Bargain of the year there. Would sell for double that

Same owner for the last 8 years too, I'd say its a pretty genuine example

That car will outlive half the people posting here if it's looked after.

If it does ever fail to start it will either be a flat battery or there will be no petrol in it.

Tidy looking diesel Bora with Covid test til October, €350

selectamatic

That's an excellent find especially with it appearing to be such a straight honest car and it being a comfortline.

Duke O Smiley

Nice colour and all too.

Its a wonder its not on a set of rs6s with a 20 inch sun strip!

crasy dash

Brother in law has a 01 1.4 thats still going, drinks as much oil as petrol:pac: his is the exact same spec and colour that was the best colour imo.
The boot is absolutely huge in them its done some hauling through the years.

Told me this year his insurer literally told him they wont even offer a competitive renewal next year:mad:

MK4 1.4 Golf with 120,000 miles
Comfortline, looks very clean, comes with 2 keys
Both NCT and tax until the end of August and recent service and good tyres
Asking €450

Grand yoke for a new driver on a budget: https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/hyundai-getz-2005/25172910

Practically a free car given it has 2 months tax and 6 months test:

Very hard to see the condition in pics, but looks like drivers door was swapped at some stage and the inside could do with a hoover
According to the ad, the timing belt and water pump were done 6 months ago and turbo done 2 months ago
Tyres 80%, almost new alternator belt and brake pads good
If it's any way reasonable, it has NCT until Feb next year and asking price is €450
These cars will go on forever if they are kept serviced any way right. It's the 1.9TDi version.

€100 Ford Focus with test until September and two days tax.

Looks like it had a happy life, if this was anywhere near Dublin I’d of bought it.

Mad_Mike

In all fairness, how wrong could you go for €100 and it looks a lot better than ones years newer that are up for sale too!

hoodie6029

Meriva for €450. Mileage is a little high, but it has tax and NCT. Not the most attractive vehicle but practical.
