    "Mercedes Engine" stated in the ad like it's a good thing, I wouldn't take that if it was free!

    I remember the first time I drove one of those, the steering wheel freaked me out, had never seen such a weird floating wheel before.

    Funny how the Merc 1.5 are using Renault and obviously discussed before but some are disappointed especially after paying a huge premium for the badge.

    Drove many of those 4x4 and was like driving a ship.... Float all over the shop.

    Is that something you have to drive the car to notice. Never in one of those cars and from pics it looks like a normal wheel to me.

    I literally only drove one about 2 miles from one place to drop it off at another and it was horrific. If ever there's an all round bad car, that's it.

    As far as I can remember the wheel part moves but the centre bit always stays in the same spot. I never knew about it until I drove one. It's kindof cool, never really caught on for some reason.

    Ah, here it is in action, kinda neat.

    Yeah, the hub stays in the same position, only the wheel itself turns. It's mad in action.

    130 BHP TDI A4 with NCT til February (May) 2021 and tax til April 2021, €700

    Grand car for the money. Drive it into the ground til the tax runs out and it'll still surely make €3-400 or so on Donedeal!

    Dunno boys, I reckon that Saab is overpriced for what it is.

    Respectable looking, up-in-years, cheap tax diesel with a towbar and reasonable miles, for less than a grand.

    Hard to go wrong with change from a grand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,575 ✭✭✭Rows Grower


    High mileage, 12 year old, no tax, tow bar probably seen a good bit of use.

    More of an Eco-maniac.

    It's 900 euro car, no?

    That is the going rate.

    Not a bargain of a century, but reasonably priced.

    Not like that SsangYong ;)

    Room to haggle, would get someone out of a hole.... I wouldn't mind at all as I need to get something with more space.
    I'm hoping the tiid prices come down...

    I had the 5 door hatch version of the C4 in black too and same year. Bought new. Loved it and the quirky steering wheel although preferred the look and shape of the 3 door.
    After a few days driving you don't notice. Actually took longer to get used to a 'normal' steering wheel when we changed.:pac:

    I know a guy who has put 500,000 km on one of those and has recently bought a brand new engine to put in it.

    Tend not to see these for sale too often. Swift Sport 1.6 with NCT till December and 2 months tax. Current owner has it 4 years. Bit rough looking but would tidy up well

    I'd imagine so. They're known to go. Friend had an 09 one and couldn't get a 2nd hand engine anywhere. Ended up trading it in for scrappage
