    Ugh.
    or sticking it through an NCT

    €2.5k on UK plates with a ****ed gearbox? Maybe I'm mad but the classic section seems full of fruitcakes.

    Like most they'll probably only test it when the car is sold, no point testing a car and leaving it sit on the forecourt

    It's been crazy since lockdown in March.

    Looking on DoneDeal there’s peers in the €2-4K range. Absolutely pointless buying an old car like that from a dealer. Best Buy privately with a keen eye to pedigree

    Probably hoping the cheap vrt and vintage tax will make it attractive to someone

    Is that really dreamer though? Surely with a fixed gearbox it’s worth multiples of that

    Shoguns don't make a whole pile even if they're in good nick for some reason. 2.5k with a wanked gearbox would be asking more than it's worth.

    Here's one in the UK for around the same price imported.

    I've been half looking out lately - good condition short wheel base on irish plates is about 5k, similar condition long version is about 4k.

    https://www.donedeal.ie/view/26047006

    He’s smoking crack if he thinks he’ll get anywhere close to €42k!

    He’s been watching a few too many Doug Demunro videos.

    What is a "professional social media expert", and how does this benefit your ad? One could easily conflate social media expert with expert in deception (e.g. Instagram influencers).

    Lad I'm afraid you're the numtpy if you are on a car forum and don't know who Doug DeMuro is.

    He makes over 40k a month from his YouTube channel reviewing cars. And his reviews are usually pretty good and kinda funny.

    As colm mcm said, he's in 'Merica where you have people who can drop insane money on cars, (but somehow there is also insane poverty).

    He makes money from those annoying YouTube ads and sponsorships.

    Its the going through the stupid little details of the dash and stuff that makes his videos good.

    Is this really a legitimate ad?

    Has anyone rang him to find out?

    Even closing the bonnet will make that look 10 times better. It’s all the other damage like the airbags and dash that probably make it an uneconomical repair. Most of it is the fact that it’s stripped, I don’t think it would be unsafe to repair

    I don’t think anyone has fond memories of 90s Astras unless they got a bit of action in the back of one.

    I had a 1992 Opel Astra GT, go fast stripes and different hubcaps!!! Lots of room in the back as well!!! :D:D:D:D
