225 TT with NCT til September, €1800

I used to own this, it's very well spec'd (xenons, heated seats, Bose sound etc). Was a well sorted car

Nice car - pi$$ poor effort advert though

Terrible ad alright, but strikes me just as a place holder until the seller gets time to put together a proper one.

It'd be interesting to know what sort of nick it is in now. The chap I sold it to (he has an account here but doesn't post) replaced it with an 08 Nissan GTR.

Want a 225 TT as a keeper.
Absolutely love them.

Really wish I had the money as these will have to go up in price.

I agree. As be's mentioned on the forum about certain models they will likely never be as cheap as at the moment. Money wouldn't be so much the problem for me and while there is plenty of space here I wouldn't have any water tight garage to drop it into and potentially the commitment for it.

I think they are one of the more timeless designs that have remained relatively fresh from the late 90's/ early 00's. Due in no small part to the lack of big fried egg type design headlights that go half way back that bonnet which seemed to be the order of the day from that period. That one looks to be in nice order and seems nice spec. No doubt the more sensitive type will be put off by the KY registration.

How does it have a BAM engine, was it replaced at some point?

Is the 225 not BAM?

Not until later. Early ones were APX.

Diesel Avensis estate with tax til August and NCT til October, €1300

Same owner for the last ten years. Chip a few quid off for a valet and maybe just ignore the mileage

Any advice on what commercial to go for someting cheap. Have come across a few pajero.
Anything else something reliable.

Reliable jeeps under 2k are few and far between, even a well looked after one will be very low mpg and there could be a world of pain in the pocket at any minute.

If you're not worried about mpg then you could do a lot worse than a 20 ish year old Pajero or L200.

I was looking at a Toyota land Cruser and trading my Passat CC always Liked the Land Crusers

Land Cruisers are the bomb but you'd want to be getting a few grand for your Passat to be able to get one for under 2k cash.

If you need an all round great reliable 4x4 then I would say Landcruiser, if you want reliability and the ability to climb a mountain while staying in the drivers seat I'd say Hilux.

Either way the older the better but they don't come cheap.

Seller forgot to mention that the tax is €600 on that 1.4 misery wagon.

In fact he removed it from the auto-populated information.



Edit: d’oh - didn’t see Bazz post

Honest looking Jetta TDI on the chape tax and a nice bit of test.
