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 6:32pm

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 6:37pm

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

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

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 6:58pm

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.

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

Watch out for any engine warning lights and If you have access to an OBD2 reader (ask your friends if they have one that they could lend you) its a good idea to bring one along and check for any fault codes

The electrics are the weak point with this generation of Citroens, as well as water ingress, so check the carpets and footwells and boot (check spare wheel well for water too) for any damp or wet carpets, easy enough to check and definitely worth doing because water getting into the cabin could cause electrical shorts and all kinds of nasty surprises that are very expensive to repair (and not really worth it at this price range)

If it's the one for €650 in Galway, ignore the bit that says that it has 0 previous owners; it has 2 previous owners.
Also, be aware it could be a possible lemon.

That's interesting because they imply that it's a car that they have owned. Thanks for letting me know.

My folks had an A Class and I never liked it. It was expensive to fix and it did present problems. That said it lasted something like 16 years before being hit by a passing Pole.

NCT is out in December, and they've only had it a month. Tax is out in January.

Why would a dealer sell this without getting it NCT'd unless there was something wrong with it ? Surely an NCT would increase the sales price ?

"SOLD AS IS FOR PARTS OR REPAIR OR EXPORT" Definately something major wrong with it. It's not being sold as a driver.

Toyotafanboi · 05-12-2020 11:17am

I dont know, the arse has really fallen out of stuff like that. Would it be worth €950 with a new NCT? Hardly worth the bother considering it'd take an eternity to sell either way.

17 years old, 2.0 petrol on the old tax system and a dreery yoke all round, there's really nothing going for it other than the badge on the bonnet.

They would've made their money on the sale of another car and accepted the trade in to complete said sale.

Export cars are usually rust buckets where they can be shipped off to countries without any road testing. Probably still drives but would be an economical write off.

Totally agree, France really is the pits.

That Suzuki Ignis 4x4 is a cracker, though.

Easier sell it as is with no NCT as a parts/export car for a dealer, Hassle of getting it NCT'd and then someone coming along expecting a bumper to bumper warranty on a €800/€900 car.
