2010 Octavia with NCT and (non-PSV) tax all the way til October 2021, €1950

Looks a tidy car despite the miles. Is it worth two grand?

This is a bizarre yoke. Where would that have come from? India maybe? They kept producing them for eastern Europe until 2010, but they'd all be left hand drive.

India or at a push South Africa the only places I can think of that might have kept rhd models that long...

They were sold in Ireland until 2010 too

What would be more bizarre is for anyone other than the current owner to think it's worth two grand.

:eek: Really?

Jaysus, there's a few 07 and 08s on DD now that you mention it. 10 is a very late one. I suppose the main question is why?

FionnK86 · 25-02-2021 10:44AM

Australian insurance disk too!

They were marketed towards taxi drivers mainly. They were obviously much cheaper than the new model, and very basic. I think the very last of them might have been 2011.

It was a bargain basement offering that, as was mentioned earlier ran at the same time as the new model. There's an 09 one knocking around here still, I think they put discs on the rear instead of drums and a few small tweaks.

It's worth nowhere near that. It's a grand car and I'd expect change.

How is anyone meant to know that. Unless they seen it some time.

By looking at the dealer's website.

Swings and roundabouts

I'd be surprised if that was Indian, SA or AUS as I can't see any aircon.. Seems Irirsh to me.

It'll be either Irish or uk.

They were sold domestically until at least 2010. I think someone on here even saw an original Irish 2011 reg'd one

A one owner from new one sold in a few hours that was up for €2200 in Carrick on Shannon about 3 months ago.

There's quite a demand for cheap tax, reliability, simplicity and fuel efficiency above all else.

Did that one have close to half a million miles up on it too?

270 isn’t close to 500!

If I remember correctly it had 320k+ km on the clock.

I've long posted that 1000-1500 should be the price of them however currently it's tricky get them at that.

Just posted that example to say that they can make 2k the odd time.

7 months tax, 8 months test, asking €695. It's not even bad looking, really.

Toyotafanboi · 25-02-2021 07:19PM

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/2002-seat-ibiza/27353191

8 months test,a whisker of tax and a big bastid dent in the wing. Asking €450.

How could you be without a car for that money.

The car is advertised with 433,000 miles on the clock.

It's actually 433k km on that mk1 Octavia though. See the last pic in the ad.

Another 3 door A-Class

colm_mcm · 25-02-2021 07:41PM

There’s just something pleasant about an old 8 valve A3 in a 3 door

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/2006-audi-a3-1-6-petrol-low-kms-new-nct-spotless/27092714

Not sure I’d pay that much, but it looks decent.

Speaking of 8 valves and 3 doors

Chape tax too. I’d drove this no bother.

Some negotiation needed maybe.

Duke O Smiley · 25-02-2021 07:50PM

That Punto is nice. You just know (aside from the fact that its a 3 door of course) that its not a shoddy ex rental

Sorry.

Those still have some old-school weirdness like the light switch with its own stalk, and didn’t they have vacuum operated central locking?
