Woudja Gowaway Outtathat.... 40 grand... Clean Sierra Sapphire Cosworths don't go for that... plus literacy is not the seller's strong point. Maybe numeracy isn't either.

Nor photography by the looks of it, I nearly had an aneurysm trying to read that.
Why is it people seem to equate its old and this variant goes for €Xk, so it must be worth the same.

I wouldn't give €40 for hir

Wibbs · 27-03-2021 06:35PM

It's got a K&N sticker. That alone is worth 40 horsepowers and around 3k extra on the price. Don't miss your chanche to own hir, The Four whellls look in good nick too.

CharlieCroker · 27-03-2021 09:49PM

That has to be a typo!

It just has to be....

Right?

colm_mcm · 27-03-2021 10:21PM

Those rear badges are strange.

Also 150bhp

davycc · 27-03-2021 10:26PM

They look like Halfords generic rear badges

Has it advertised as a 92, but has the later headlights/bumper?
Some sources say the 4x4 wasn’t around in 92?
Is the colour even original?

Absolutely shockin ad on every level.

PsychoPete · 27-03-2021 10:52PM

"4x4" doesn't make it any more appealing

That grill/bumper was only launched in 1995 iirc. It's either had an updated front fitted (either as a repair or upgrade) or it's a ringer.

According to encarpedia, it was available 1993-95 so something definitely amis

I pay €40 grand for the Mercedes Corolla ad last week. Unfortunately, it has been sold

You'd want to be absolute mental to spend 8k on a diesel corolla

colm_mcm · 28-03-2021 02:13PM

Sure there was that blue petrol one that was up recently for €1500 or something.

Probably traded into a main dealer for a few hundred. Could be a strategy to ask €8k and lads will offer €4k.

Toyotafanboi · 28-03-2021 02:19PM

Blue petrol one was in rag order too. This one does look a lot better.

Is this a first? Seven cars in one ad, and all of them overpriced

1990 ford sierra 2000E 11,000 euro
2001 nissan micra 950 euro
2004 rover 75 diesel auto 3000 euro
ford granada cosworth 10,000 euro
1998 bmw 525 TDS auto 2,500 euro
1974 ford granada 3.0 coupe 20,000 euro
1982 ford fiesta 1.3 ghia 6,000 euro

I can only imagine that the cars with no prices will be equally as overpriced

Biggest joke about the lot is the Granada Cosworth is a ringer.

Pre 1987 plate on a 1992+ car.

colm_mcm · 28-03-2021 05:24PM

Yeah, that’s a 1985 reg.

It’s even registered as a Granada 2.0 but with a 2.9 engine.

Interestingly there’s another picture of it here

https://www.adverts.ie/cars-for-breaking/ford-granada-mk3/12411259

Same car? Might have had an extensive facelift..

CoBo55 · 28-03-2021 06:05PM

Seriously though, are there any decent honest vintage/classic cars for sale in this country? As far as I can see there's nothing but cloned ex UK filler bodged junk around.

colm_mcm · 28-03-2021 06:08PM

Our classic car scene is heavily reliant on uk imports. People place more value on an Irish reg number. That’s before you get to the craic of cloning newer cars to get into the vintage tax bracket. There has to be a certain amount of stolen cars on Irish plates too.
When you see brown tax books for sale you know why lads are buying them.

E36Ross · 28-03-2021 08:31PM

It could be a very heavy facelift..... And also converted from a hatchback to a saloon.

Mk3 Granada Saloon didn't exist until 1990.
