Well spec'd 2.5 V6 Superb with full history and 1 owner since import, NCT til November 2021, €1995

A bit expensive considering there is a hefty tax bill due on top of the purchase price, but it does look lovely

Original Irish 2005 Mk1 VRS with NCT til January 2022 and tax til March next year, €1850

I don't know if this is cheap or a bargain but a nice bit of tax IMO makes any bangernomics car a bit more appealing

boombang · 02-12-2020 05:32PM

Re the black clio, I've been in few 5 doors and I've always liked them and they felt well put together for the segment. I once rented the subsequent model and was so disappointed by the quality. It felt so flimsy by comparison.

ba_barabus · 02-12-2020 05:37PM

There's some lovely cars there Duke. I'd love the Octavia to put away.

Wife is in the market for a 1.6-2.0 SUV (dislike that term intensely) with a budget of €3k, hadn’t really considered the X3, think they’re a bit chavvy

Only for existing classic customers though I believe.

For new policies the car has to be over 20 doesn't it?

Regardless, 15 years, 20 years, 25 years. A classic is NOT defined by some insurance company’s whim.

Now to be fair Andrew I never mentioned nor have any interest in getting into the definition of a classic debate. I was merely responding to Midnight_EG's post about Axa.

I know.
The original post was about whether a car was a classic/future classic, it was another contributor who brought the insurance issue to the fore.
It was never about an insurance policy. Think this needs to be put to bed now.

Lads ye should have a go on a few of the Irish classic car groups on facebook, plenty lads on there will debate ya about what's a classic and what's not, they'll even debate you on wind farms and such :pac:

This probably isn't a classic, maybe it is, maybe a future classic? I dunno, but it sure is a cheap banger

Great find for somebody on a shoestring budget. Weekend away sort of money.

Not a bad consideration for bangernomics but i always thought the panel design looked brutal and the interior dash / center console looks really dated now. All that black and beige plastic. No for me these yokes haven't aged well at all.

Discodog · 04-12-2020 05:58PM

A friend is looking for a cheap small engine runaround with lots of interior space - she has a big dog

What are your thoughts regarding Mercedes A class. Seem to be a few around that look value for money but are they a nightmare if they go wrong ?

She would consider a van but they seem poorer value.

Bought this today. Didn’t get it for banger money but we did manage to negotiate a healthy discount on it. https://www.donedeal.ie/view/26672946

Estate or hatch would be an option.

Skoda Octavia or superb
Renault Laguna or megane estate
Ford Mondeo

Octavia and Mondeo (and probably several others) can be had with 1ltr engine.
How much smaller would you like?
Might not get the 1 litre for banger money (nor would you want one) but the 1.2 and 1.4 Octavia should be out there as well.

Whats a small engine?

Merc A Class comes in 1.5 petrol

Volvo v50 1.6d has plenty of space, well built, reliable enough and decent looks and styling

Not gonna set the world on fire performance wise, can get a decent 08 for under 2k with the cheap tax

Honda Fit / Jazz has a lot of space in the back if 'magic seats' are positioned in the horizontal
