BANGERNOMICS (sub2k) of the week/day Part 6

Yeah, I think I have my paranoid head on tonight!

It just seems more or less dry everywhere else and that's what drew my attention to it on the front

Would these petrol 3 series make good bangernomics?

You could do a lot better with a diesel version to be honest. It's also poverty spec. Same money will get you a 318/320d. Would be rock bottom in the list of engines I'd get myself.

Loads of manure in the ad but it's a car with test that could be got for €500. Those aren't alloy wheels mate. If the service history and mileage are genuine its a steal. 2 keys with a car is always a good sign.

Cheap car for wafting around in, long test and some tax:

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/2005-honda-accordnct-01-21tax-07-20/25161108

A bit pricey but a very fresh looking estate. Says trade slae so some haggling may be tolerated.

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/08-volvo-v50-1-8-petrol-trade-sale-nct-11-2020/25147036

Looks fresh too. Economical run around car.

Looks like a genuine ad, also says price is negotiable. Same owner for over 9 years
Could be one of the lowest price Prius in here yet considering it's a 2008
Will also come with full valet and 2 keys included
Mileage is very high. No idea what the limits of these are to be honest
Has NCT until 4th January 2021
€1450 is current asking price

Duke O Smiley · 24-06-2020 10:37PM

High mileage wouldn’t put me off a Prius at all. They are well able for it. They’re a very good car

Looks like an untouched and original Bora
UK import, 100bhp version, same owner for 10 years
NCT until December and taxed until end of August
Could be a good buy if it hasn't started to rust. Hard to tell from the pics
Asking €600

Yeah, I've seen a lot of them around the 200k mark, but just wondering once they head on up for 250 how they fare on battery, but then again, at the price of that for a 08, even if you were to end up throwing in new batteries in a years time, it could still be a very cheap 2008.

Had one with over 300k on the clock and the battery was perfect, and had 4/5 bars too. There was nothing in the history to suggest it had been replaced either. The great thing about that model Prius is you can see the battery health on the dash before you buy it. Not the case with something like a hybrid Civic.

Also, on any Prius up to 07 (I think) the odometer won’t go over 299,999 for some reason.

He also has that red Mazda posted by almostrover on last page. Fair play if he can make a few quid, but I'd say the muscles are from endless turd-polishing.

Babyladyzoda · 25-06-2020 08:30AM

Confused by one of the cars in this thread.

Is it unusual for a car to be listed as private sale on donedeal but the cartell report says current owner says its been held as trade sale for 8 months?

Seller claims 2 owners. But it appears its been 2 owners and then held in trade sale by a garage for since November?

Is that a common thing for a small trader?

Is someone trying to pull a fast one?

User1998 · 25-06-2020 08:39AM

Well its a disguised business sale and is illegal. Its so you have no rights or comeback if the car goes bang

johndaman66 · 25-06-2020 10:06AM

Probably only illegal if not disclosed before the sale is made. Being a motor trader and not registered as such on Donedeal is in itself not necessarily illegal, sly and dishonest yes but not necessarily illegal. To answer the original question though its not unusual for a trader to be listed as a private seller on Donedeal, it seems to be rampant in fact.

2007 Focus for 750 (down from 1,000 yesterday). On the cheaper tax. Ad seems honest and car doesn't look to be in bad shape. Short NCT and almost out of tax. Eyes wide open but it may be worth a punt.

Cheaper tax? 2008 on

Post 2008 the tax on the Focus is roughly 516 or something p.a. versus 385 (for a 1.4). Not the most important thing in the world but every little helps

Happens all the time. If someone is going to misrepresent his status as a trader you can be certain he will lie about other things too, that's just for openers

I find the best value at this end of the market is a privately sold, long term owner car with a good history. Part time traders just want to make a few quid so they pick up cheap (for a reason) cars and add on a profit.

There are legitimate traders at this end of the market too, and you can get good stuff from them because they have good connections to the trade. But they will be honest about what they are doing.

Scuffed Allows, monster mileage, Tow Ring cover missing. Rough spots on the body work. No interior pics. Taking the piss asking 2k IMO

I'm only posting the asking price, I don't think it's worth it either.

For Forks Sake · 25-06-2020 02:19PM

It's an Alfa, it's got low mileage, over a years test (07/21) and it'll even come with a warranty.

Granted, it's not the best Alfa or the best engine. And €1895 seems optimistic.

Ideal summer motoring if the weather were to play ball
VW Eos 2.0TFSI, NCT to 12/20, ad mentions a lot of work (chains/belts/pumps) done.
€1650 and negotiable apparently

Isn't that 2.0 about 200hp?

They’re 150PS on the earlier ones I think.

The turbo one is 200 and the N/A one is 150.
