Yeah i think that first Fiesta has had a tap. There is blanks where the front fogs should be. Any of the spec's that came without fogs didn't get the bottom of the bumper colour coordinted, which this has. So either the bumper is wrong or the lack of fogs is wrong. I suspect it's the lack of fogs.

Badly repaired alright, would need a closer look. Hate to see a gunthered yoke.

Incorrect, Thats true for 99% of Irish Fiestas but thats a UK import and UK spec on these was completely different.

As for the panel gaps on the second one, Bumper/headlight gaps are a pain on these.... Theres 3 flat tabs at the top of the bumper under the grill and these come lose and cause it to sag under the headlights. (Easily fixed with 2 self tappers!)
Doesn't excuse the bonnet gaps though!

I'd say it should have had a little pull from the knock but they were able to get away with it, barely.

Smart looking runabout

"Nct 1/21 only passed but got back dated" - but they wouldn't do the NCT again to get a years NCT; why?

Well spotted being UK, didn't see that.

That being said, bootlid badges are missing. Front badge is missing, tow eye cover is missing and panel gaps are desperate. I still would say it's seen some action.

Is this thread just for ad links or can anyone stick up details of sub2k NCt-d cars if not professionals?

This is going to sound mad, but the front badge and tow eye came off a similar one I had, and the plastic clips joining the front bumper to the wings broke loose giving awful panel gaps. All down to normal wear and tear except for the badge, which broke off closing the bonnet.

That doesn't make sense if it only passed and it's withing the 3 months then they should get it for over a year

The car I have now I bought in October with no NCT. it was expired since January

So I waited until late October to NCT it and I got the NCT until January 2022.

Either these lads are just completely clueless, or they were trying to get it through a retest or something odd anyway

If I was in the market for one, and if it was driving Ok and steering Ok, no pulling left / right, the cosmetic appearance ( easily fixed I think, and I've fixed more than a few ) would not bother me, and that self same appearance should be a good bargaining chip for a price reduction. It can often happen when fitting non genuine Ford parts ( especially Head /other lamps) that they will not align 100%, ditto front bumper's. So I would not condemn it out of hand because of that.

Sure I stuck it on adverts for free and got a free DD ad too!

My own car and ideal Bangernomics stuff if i do say so myself with a bit of flexibility in price .

Toyotafanboi · 17-11-2020 10:47PM

I probably wouldn't mention the clutch, personally. You are talking like it's fooked, when in reality it's driving ok with a bit of chatter and a heavy pedal. It's a ,€900 car.

I'd probably remove everything under "bad points" and replace it with "car driving ok".

Yeah Im too honest!Id genuinely sooner not sell it to someone who is stop starting on M50 or in city but its a great yoke for someone commuting from country to outskirts of cities etc or between rural towns

Only one picture + list of bad points = would avoid.

Toyotafanboi · 17-11-2020 10:54PM

I'd let the buyer decide. It's great that you want to be too honest but i think you'll struggle to get enquiries with that ad. Let the car speak for itself and let the buyer decide what they want to do with it.

That and one bad photo is a bit miserable.

No reg plate showing, no interior pics and it's a manual. But it has a long NCT to 09/21, is a diesel and cost only €950. Looks good in that colour with those alloys. Worth a call.

Thanks been for sale for months, I have been watching it. Originally it was asking 3K. Seems to be valued about right now but terrible ad isn't helping the sale

Wow, a big big big difference between €3k and €950. Ad is very poor alright and for Christ sake what is it with hiding the registration plate brigade? You can walk down the street and note the reg of any car you see. Its out there in the public domain anyway. No doubt if you called him you would get the spheel how it must be bargain of the century because he was asking €3k back in March.

johndaman66 · 18-11-2020 03:16PM

Octavia's can represent cracking value for money in my opinion. Here are a couple;

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/08-skoda-octavia/26520172
2008 1.9 TDI
NCT 09/21 and Tax 08/21
160k miles
Nasty dent on bootlid
Asking €1,600

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/2010-skoda-octavia-1-6-diesel/26530388
If that dent on the bootlid was too much for you to handle or you would rather the facelift model
2010 1.6 TDI
NCT 02/21
178K KM
Asking €1,950.

2ndcoming · 18-11-2020 03:27PM

278km on that second one. A lot of them are dog rough or high mileage, given the usual driver profile that not unexpected. Ex taxis / farmers.

If you could find a fresh low mileage 08 or 09 1.9 it would be a great yoke, same with the Superbs.

Probably what the last seller told them. I guess it desperately needs changing now!

That looks a very good buy...I wonder how the insurance are treating cars of that year nowadays?
