Did you have any passengers at the time?

No just myself. Handy car for your enemy though. I'll leave the car running and leave on the air con for you while I pop into the shop.

Garda ask what happened, I'm not sure popped into shop came out and he was dead. :pac:

The next buyer would probably look for a couple hundred off if they found out the aircon was dodge - might be best not to call the guards

I sold the car handy enough. I sold it a good few years ago.

I wouldn't be paying nearly 3 grand for it. Heavy on juice, heavy on tax, okay to drive but plenty of better, cheaper options out there to buy and to run so hardly bangernomics. Waste of moneynomics.

Edit: the 2003 A4 that is.

You'd have bought it for a grand though.

Not a big fan of these but this looks nice for the money, and is in the right spec

1.2 Sxi, tax til April and a years NCT, €1200. Very nice car for a learner IMO

But it's nearly 3 grand

And calling a car from this century a "classic" is a tad bit out of sorts.

It’s 2021. That’s more years into this century than the Ford Cortina was produced for. Would you have disputed a Mk 1 Cortina was a classic when the Sierra was the current model?

It was for sale last week at a little over a grand, someone bought it and is flipping it. I think he is referring to the original price.

All that "classic" nonsense is just the seller justifying the doubling of the price (to himself)

Cars didnt last as long back then, even the MK3 Cortina would have been scarce when the Sierra launched, a banger in 1985 would have been less than 10 years old,
Theres still lots of early 00s Audis ,VWs and Toyotas in everyday use

Is that good value? Genuinely asking as having been thinking of picking up a smaller car soon but shocked that that's the going rate for that age and mileage.
I picked up a 07 C180 last year with the same mileage as that yoke for €1250 (also had a year's NCT)

KevRossi · 28-02-2021 03:06PM

Love them or hate them.. this one has a brand new NCT to 05/22 and is decently priced at €950.
Heated leather too. Sounds like it was well looked after.

2000 Mitsubishi Colt 1.3. Risky with only a months NCT left, but it's only €600. One owner from new, very clean, almost 400,000 km. Nice seats, from a dealer but probably no warranty.

Toyotafanboi · 28-02-2021 07:01PM

Is it wrong that i immediately dont trust any vehicle posted on adverts?

I like that Clio a lot but it seems way too cheap, no? A 2010 1.2 Clio would be multiples of that.

Love the Colt, love the Puma too (specially the stereo it looks OE?) But with low and Covid extensions i'm not sure if they are great bangernomics.

colm_mcm · 28-02-2021 07:11PM

€600 tax on the Clio would put a lot of people off. Seems too nice for the money though.

I’m more inclined to trust a seller on Adverts.ie provided they have good feedback. Less inclined to trust DD sellers.
It’s a bit odd that DD and Adverts are owned by the same company yet no facility for feedback on DD though maybe that’ll change in the future.

11 year old 1.6 petrol with €570 tax p/a
There's not a huge market for it and to most of the average Irish car buying market it's not desirable in anyway.

Old Renaults would be a money pit

You could throw a stone in a crowded room and fail to hit anyone remotely interested in it.

I dont know a huge amount about fast Renaults but 197's and 182's usually command a good premium, i suppose what i'm saying is why does that one not?

Too cheap IMO. Possibly a catch.

Not fast enough or durable or insurable enough for boy racers, not practical enough for anyone else, most likely somebody will van it

They are only 126 hp iirc
The 197 and 182 are obviously much closer to 200bhp
Don't think that gt had much of a following

It's only 130bhp that's going by memory. I could be wrong but it's in and around that figure. Far cry from a RS model Clio.

I'd argue that given you can get a 4 year younger gt for just under 5k that that gt is over priced if anything
