Unless the sellers comes with rough figure of what he considers reasonable offer we can only guess what the best way to sell it is.

The problem is I'm not sure at all

Looking on donedeal and the likes the price for them vary a lot.

I'm not sure what to ask really but at the same time I'm not being greedy with her

AFAIK lads crew cabbing motors they have to be vat registered to qualify for commercial insurance.

The tax loopholes are well and truly closed.

You don't need to be VAT registered to get commercial insurance. Plenty of part time and small businesses don't fall under the €25K/€75K limit.

I've an RX 400h on a commercial 5 seater policy, paying just over €600 insurance. I've a part time business alongside my 9-5 PAYE job, but I was never asked for proof when insuring.

Re-Registering a SUV as a 5 seat commercial is a different matter, most of the old loopholes are closed. I understand that my car (2006) can only be converted to a 2 seater since 2018 or so.

Anytime I inquired about commercial insurance they asked me for a VAT number, must check this out again.

I've bounced between private and commercial insurance a few times. Never been asked for a vat number or registered business number. All they've asked is what profession I'm in, or why I needed a commercial instead of a private vehicle. Used insuremyvan.ie for all 3 policies.

Well .. you basically tell them, that you don't need a VAT number as a sole trader, if your turnover isn't high enough, so they can not require that.

You must have an odd choice of insurances. I've had commercial policies with a number of insurances: Quinn/Liberty, 123, through a broker with Allianz and I don't know where else ... never ever been asked for a VAT number.

no mention of the miles. Id be interested to take a look, wouldn't be shocked if 310k became 210

Something that came up on my bookface feed today ...

I bought this BMW 740i 10 years ago ... for a ridiculous low price. We are talking low 3 digits. Still have it .. it sits in the back of my yard ... must go wash it and take it for a spin one of these days.

It served 2 Scally Rallys. A friend of mine drove it for 2 years in Dublin just to get to the shops and it's been borrowed by friends between selling their cars and buying new ones. The saying is, that if people see the skull on the bonnet in their rearview mirror, they just move into the hard shoulder. We consider it the perfect equivalent to the Blues Mobile.

You'd give up an annual holiday to drive that for a year. Well I would anyway.

It’s hard to believe that you can get such a car for this kinda money nowadays. I remember my old boss buying one of these back in 2008 and the cheque written was over 100k. At the time I fell in love with that car and aspired to own one at some stage.. I think now is that time, just wish his old car was for sale ðŸ˜‚

Talk about travelling in style, I did a banger rally up around Scandinavia back in 2009 and our chariot of choice was a 1995 VW Golf with a 1.3 litre engine

I think I'd much prefer that luxobarge

We did the irish and the UK one. The Nordic one was discontinued at the time, would have loved to do it.

And here's a fun fact: both years we did it in the 740i, the team consisted of 3 danish and 1 irish (and I ain't the irish, I just live here).

But yes .. the 740i was the business. That is for sure.

A months tax and test for €1500. If COVID was no issue, I'd be tempted to buy it and hit the road in late August (nothing on at work anyway). Road trip Turkey, Central Asia or down south to Togo? No better way to travel once the air con works. CD player and tape deck to listen to local tunes is the cherry on the cake.

It’s hard to imagine that colour wood ever being in fashion, it’s horrendous.

There was a Bentley for sale on Carzone for a long time with a similar colour.

Actually, never mind. Unsurprisingly it’s still for sale.

I absolutely adore cream and wood interiors, mad for it, the only way to have a car imo. theres most wood and cream combos id be sold on but jesus h christ that is ugly. if that brown leather was more a cigar shade and that was a deeper burl wood that would be class, but that is all over awful. Looks like the continental Ikea edition.

for 1500 an absolute steal, the cheapest way to get in to a v8. But if it was more money than that it would be awful, thats the most base spec ls430 I've seen, even for Ireland, the home of 'base spec'

A very nicely spec’d W221, tasteful-ish bodykit, LWB all the toys, €4950.

KevRossi · 06-07-2020 06:50PM

All the toys except the NCT, which ran out in January, so COVID not an excuse. Would need to be a bit ballsy to take that one on.

Buying a luxobarge with a nct is a ballsy move, luxobarge motoring is circling the financial drain of a car at the best of times.

These cars are one repair bill away from being the automotive equivalent of anglo Irish bank.

This baby goes with me everywhere, along with a bottle of coolant and litre of oil.

I would have thought your name alone would be enough to get you home safely?

Perhaps a sticker on the window and a bottle of Knock's finest water, instead of the coolant and oil.

I’m fairly partial to a bit of wood myself, there’s no better feeling that driving with a wooden wheel, but both of those colour combos are god awful.

I would even dare say overpriced. We've had atleast 1 of those in here before and theres a few that were hitting 6-7k a year ago. 1809 tax still, If it was a 6k car it would sell all day long.
