The original ones or the Golf in a frock and the mini BMW?
Actually, they’re all sh1te. People look at them with Rose coloured glasses.

I was trying to be a bit more diplomatic, but yeah, there's no real contesting this :pac:

Driving a new Beetle for the first time is like driving a van. Awful things

No, the driving of other cars extension only applies to other cars you do not own. Otherwise we would all be just insuring a banger Micra in our driveway but actually driving a Porsche.

But i could put a porsche in the wife's name, tax it using any old insurance no. Keep it nctd.
Then i could drive it on my micra insurance!?

Seems like a nice loophole!

Jaysis lads, i put a bangernomics yoke on Donedeal and Facebook marketplace (which i've found is getting increasingly good for selling a cheap car locally) there on Monday afternoon. I've been plagued before but holy mother of jaysis, i've not had a single call or text but had eleven thousand facebook enquiries and a few donedeal messages. I'll post a list of some of the enquiry names and hopefully someone can relate.

What is it with cheap cars that drives nutters out of the woodwork?

Every single one of them literally opens with a "whats your last price" type message, which is frustrating for two reasons.

1, i've written in the ad that i will not be negotiating until someone has viewed the car, no text negotiations.

2, their locations are like Galway, Cork etc and i'm in Wicklow, no way will they make that trip for my bangernomics yoke, even if i say work away to their riddiculously **** "last price".

Torture.

In this scenario, the hypothectical Porsche would have to be insured as well....by its owner.

Insurance companies don't insure imaginary wives.

Will probably be in the market for something soon, just waiting for my yoke to completely pack it in. Anyway looking at Volvos around 2006 and the insides just look lovely. Not too worried about fuel economy or performance tbh, have a slight preference for diesel as I've gotten used to doing 80% of my typical daily driving with just my left foot. :pac: Anyway is there anything to look out for with the particular engines, diesel or petrol, they used?

You'll go a good bit newer than 2006 for a 2 grand Volvo and there are some beautie's come up for sale on a fairly regular basis.

They're the type of car that tend to crop up and have had one careful owner, fsh and low mileage. Great cars in my humble opinion.

I love their style and “Swedishness” but Volvo got passed around like an abused child for an entire decade until the Chinese bought them and turned them into a fashion brand. There are people much more knowledgeable than me on here but I’d avoid any Volvo after Ford bought them.

Ford bought Volvo so they could use Volvo technology and engineering in their premium models not so they could use Ford engineering in Volvo models.

Don't think I've ever seen one of these in person before, but remember the ads when they were new

Tax and test into next year anyway, €1999 (too much, but still)
