    That's a mad price altogether for a non VTEC engine car.

    That is VTEC, but still overpriced.

    I meant a b16 performance model.

    Left hand drive, undesirable model (C Class) and undesirable configuration (C36), €20k

    Surely not on these shores. You'd be into a nice V8 E55 for about half the money

    Jaysus the neon lights like something out of the celtic tiger era(Max power etc...). Are those lights stock for that car?

    Careful now, I got rounded on for saying an ad had 3 pics...

    Nah, you were “rounded” for asking a stupid question

    What question was that your lordship?
    How would you know from three pictures?
    Does that constitute a stupid question now?
    Here's a link to refresh your memory before you and your buddies start rewriting history.

    To be fair they were a lovely yoke back in the day. But surprisingly very few left for what felt like a decent quality motor. What killed so many of them? The equivalent audi tts seem to be still knocking around in decent numbers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,239 ✭✭✭selectamatic


    Rust has killed them.

    3 series?

    They got cheap, and by that virtue began to attract unsympathetic owners. E60 5 series' are going the same route at the minute. Look at Garda Traffic on Twitter and you'll notice a lot of them pop up on there for no insurance, tax etc.

    This sort of sums it up

    Yeah but if you notice... The mercs advert has no information.

    Maybe you should have read the ad?

    Are we in an alternate universe or something? It's literally the price of a brand new car.

    Ooooh tough guy.. Did you take a break from playstation to do that??
    What did I spout out exactly?
    I'll remind you.
    How can you tell from 3 pictures is what I said, nothing more nothing less.
    So you can dial down the faux outrage, good man.

    Yeah but if you notice... The mercs advert has no information.

    Maybe you should have read the ad?

    Merc Ad
    Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG (LHD)
    Brilliant Silver with AMG Black Nappa Sport
    AMG 5 Spoke Mono Wheels
    Full Climate / Sunroof
    Extensive Service History

    Skoda Ad
    Skoda Octavia Scout (2007) for sale
    10 months NCT (Jan 2022)
    Taxed until end May 2021
    4 good tyres all 90 per cent plus
    Note: alloys seen in picture are Not for sale with vehicle. Will come with a original Skoda alloys.
    Good service history from 2007 onwards
    Timing belt done in 2020 at 327810 km
    4 X 4 version. 6 speed manual.
    Great winter car. Great on snow etc
    Has tow bar fitted
    X2 keys. Central locking.

    Not much in the difference when there's no pictures to back anything up.
    No pic of the alloys you'll be getting,
    No pic of the good service history.
    Are the 90 "per cent plus" tyres on the invisible alloys or what?
    In summary both Ad's are brutal.

    The KY reg generally won't be too well received in South County Dublin either.

    To be fair I think they were over 100k euros when new. With a v8 on cheap tax. I wouldn't pay 20k for one personally.

    Afraid you're showing a serious lack of knowledge. The Amazon has a global reputation for being one of the best 4x4's you can buy. Bomb-proof Toyota reliability that can go almost anywhere. They're highly sought after, particularly in Australia, as touring rigs. They go forever if looked after, in serious comfort.

    Wouldn't surprise me at all if they get very close to that asking price.

    https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/honda-civic-2010-1-4-petrol-new-nct/27419118 I like these and this one has low enough milage. But rear bumper has seen better days to command this money.

    Is it a 1.4 or 1.8? The 1.8 has a nice engine but I wouldn't call that low mileage at at least 10k a year.
