NCT til April 2021, tax til March 2021, €850

Yes, they're a bit hateful, but this looks alright

I bought one of them back in 2003 it was a 91 with the full body kit, rallied it on the farm and sold it on at €150 profit, mad I only paid €300 for it. NCT and valid tax too.

That just gave me PTSD.

HA!

Mine had no power steering either as it happened. That teaches ya lots wrt parking dynamics.

What on earth is that keypad?

2005 E200 Automatic
Too pricy IMO, but, the reason I am adding it is the timing chain has been done, so if you could haggle the price down, it would make a nice buy
190,000 kms and a fresh NCT also until Sep 2021 and a couple of weeks tax left

Asking €1750

2007 Suzuki Swift 1.3 petrol
These are a very reliable little car and great for town driving, although they will average around 50mpg on main roads
The uncle has been driving them for years and while they are very basic, they're actually a great little car to drive
NCT and tax are both until Feb 2021
Asking €1250

2006 Hyundai Coupe 1.6 petrol
The 1.6 is never going to break any records, but the Hyundai coupe are actually a very reliable car and not a bad drive
With almost half a years road tax, and NCT until July next year and only 89,000 miles, this could be worth a look, despite the fact its one of the N7 dealerships
Asking €995

That's great value. I like the colour

Actually forgot to check earlier, but I see the last owner has owned it for 9 years too!

That's a beauty for a grand, there's some fantastic stuff on this thread lately.

Well considering a years tax on that would cost you €514, it's leaving the car incredibly cheap!

Moving on...

2007 Passat 1.9TDi
Mileage seems awful low for the year with 120,000 miles
NCT until January 2021 and a couple of weeks tax
Anybody want to ring Dylan and ask him what his best price is?
Asking price is €799

No NCT!

The one owner bit checks out alright.
That's great value for a 2009 with mileage that low and only €280p.a for road tax too!

They're becoming a rare sight on the roads these days.

Not sure that's a good sign tbh

They're not great tbh and paying 2.0 tax for 140bhp is terrible.

Also, who puts a towbar on a "hot" hatch?

Hey folks,

Hope you are all well.

You've guided me brilliantly in the past, so I'm looking for a bit of advice for a friend of mine. He's looking for a second car and the wife likes the Qashquai. He has 3k to spend, which I'm aware is over the Bangernomics limit, but any help would be appreciated!

Also, which of the engines would you recommend?
1.4 petrol
1.6 petrol
1.5 diesel

They won't be doing any serious mileage in it as it is not the primary vehicle, so I suggested the 1.6, without any real knowledge of them.

Thanks again.

BTW one of the best threads on boards!

You'll find Qashqai's in Bangernomics money alright

A quick search of Donedeal throws up 8 models today under €2,200 with NCT
I set my minimum as 401 euros to rule out random ads which appeared below that figure
I went 200 euro over as most of the time, you'll buy for 2k or less

The 1.5 diesel on those is supposed to be a very reliable engine and maybe somebody can throw more light on it, but I also believe the 1.5 around that era doesn't have a DPF.


Have a look through these for starters, but they will probably want to raise budget slightly to get a few more decent examples

Motoring doesn't get any cheaper than this:

1999 Almera with only just under 90k miles with NCT until next July and in the same family for years, going for €350:

Biggest challenge will be insurance I'd imagine.

One for Duke perhaps?
