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.

Not many bargains out there since Covid took hold. The value of old cars seems to be increasing, most likely due to people downsizing and saving money.

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.

Not sure if they'd be big enough for the OP, but you'd get a nice 2nd gen Rav4 (2004 ish) under 2k easy. Vitara xl7 too. Both of those would be very reliable but maybe too small?

Had one of them before for a few weeks. Absolutely hated the thing. The 1.4 was disgustingly slow. I went from that to a 2.3 turbo petrol 280bhp Saab 9-5 Aero

bazz26 · 06-01-2021 03:48PM

It should also be noted that the annual motor tax on that 1.4 litre Focus is €600 as they had to be taxed on the newer tax system from July 2008 onwards.

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

Soul destroying 1.4

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

Land cruisers ARE reliable and owners tend to hang onto them until they’re well and truely shagged. Tread carefully.
You will need deep pockets as well. Parts will wear out and can be expensive.

That’s way too cheap for a CX7. Has to be a bad un

Way too cheap is a bit of an exaggeration, to me it seems more like it's just simply priced to sell.

The only other one on DD is up for 3k dropped from €3500 with a full fresh nct but its been up over 20 days and still hasn't sold.

Tax is 1K. just contacted seller

Some tax bands is It c have changed so ones that are high will most likely be even higher next renewal.

JCDUB · 07-01-2021 11:15AM

Is that the same engine as the 3/6 MPS?

If so and the tax is the cheaper of the two mentioned that's a great buy for someone with miles to munch who wants to have fun doing it.

bazz26 · 07-01-2021 11:56AM

I don't think you would be buying a CX-7 for mile munching, they are fairly thirsty. I also don't think it's suspiciously cheap, it's about right for what it is - a 13 year old petrol SUV with still a fairly meaty annual tax bill that isn't hugely desirable.

Nope it's changed I believe so 2008 on and if one was to import now also will be higher.

colm_mcm · 07-01-2021 04:25PM

Anything existing over band C on emissions has an increase.

frozenfrozen · 07-01-2021 04:27PM

it's extra 10s of euro a year not 100s or anything though

My tax renewal arrived yesterday - up from €570 to €600.

Checked the Gov.ie website and Motortax is quoted at €570. Every official website and not so official sites say €570. Now I do not recall any rise from the budget, so it must be Brexit or Covid.

Anyway, after much searching, it is the carbon tax loaded onto the higher CO2 rates - so €570 goes to €600. [Edit: Band D rate.]

Mine is unchanged at €200. 111-120 bracket, my car is 113.

I accept your point, that other CX7 is the ONLY other one for sale I can find on DD or CZ. Still a not insignificant 33% cheaper though. Like anything of that age and complexity it would be wise to thread carefully.

Yikes, does this mean all my pre 2008 2ltr petrol and diesel yokes are going to cost more to tax or will pre 2008 stay the same?

No pre 08 will be the same except you import a pre 08 then that will be now taxed on CO2..
