What's happened all the sub 1k 1.9tdi passats, golfs, 320d BMWs that tick all the boxes? It's nothing but absolute shìte being posted lately. I'm not knocking anyone's efforts by any means, it's more to say that you're getting exactly what you're paying for these days. 1k gets you a pretty awful car whereas 12 months ago it would have got you in a bangernomic that would stand the test of time.

I can't say anything, I paid €500 a few months ago for a 2003 hyundai getz to get me around after I sold my main car. I just think the bargains have kind of dried up.

Car prices have gone up and I was just looking through Daft at house prices in my area(just browsing for some reason and not planning on buying) and they have gone up also. I'm sure if cv19 wasn't a thing prices would have gone up but I'm not fully sure things are going to work out we could be looking at a recession if things don't go back to normal soonish. I could be totally wrong and there will be no recession but I wouldn't be rushing out to buy a house or expensive car if I had the money for either atm as who knows what will happen.

Slightly over budget at €2200 but a funky looking 06 Nissan cube

I think even when things open fully there will be a wariness , lots of businesses won't reopen and unemployment will remain high, not a time to be taking on debt

It was up for 2k earlier in the week. Taken down and relisted for 2200. I'd say a half decent cash offer in person would take it.

Would anyone on here drive it.. I know of one that was used as a run about in a car parts shop and the thing couldn't be stopped

I don't say this very often, but I'd rather walk

Selling this myself. Barely bangernomics and not a cool car by any means but it's a fresh reg for the price.

Taxes ( brexit & enviro ) have hit these types of imports, so existing stock in country gets valued higher ( Have to declare an interest here : I've a tee dee eye since the year dot and reckon that its about doubled in value in the last 3 years :eek: )

Toyotafanboi · 18-04-2021 05:32PM

Yeah, that's actually wear. It does take from the initial look. It's like someone used to get into the drivers seat then hoosh themselves up with their hand on the passenger seat. Was much much worse, steering wheel is fairly heavily worn too in fairness to it the finish is totally gone.

Generally when looking at a used car i'd rather find an engine looking like that. It's dusty and dirty but it's dry and honest

In the last year-18 months prices across the board have gone a bit mad. Was looking for a laugh what it would take to replace when I bought 3-4 years ago with the same car/age. Slightly lower spec, higher mileage, prices are 20-35% higher.

gussieg · 18-04-2021 06:08PM

Went to look at a liana, all good except it needs a new alternator and belt for something, but alas in reviews alternators for them are the most expensive item to replace and seems something that is known to go in them. Also it has a small swimming pool in the boot.

yamaha4life · 18-04-2021 06:21PM

Ive definitely noticed the increase in budget motoring cars prices, the gems at the lower end of bangernomics are few and far between. I missed a micra a couple of days ago not far from where i live it had 9 months tax and 3 months test only €350 so plenty time to tidy it up for next test as it would cost me very little as i do repairs myself.

The main car is 172 so only a cheap 2nd car required.

That said i went and looked at a 2008 civic hybrid this evening. Seller claimed a full service history and that ima battery cells replaced. Complete lies no history, car rough in person, two big dirty patches on both sills, no oil on gearbox dipstick. Few others things asking price €2500

gussieg · 18-04-2021 06:30PM

I know someone here got one and hates it, but the 2006 Getz I have is grand. Effing uncomfortable without an extra cushion for long journey, but so far very reliable and economical.
And as for the availablity of cars, a few weeks back there were 85k plus cars for sale on done deal, it's now back to 81k. That's a lot of cars gone or sold.

New NCT on this for €1,700.

Has most of the mod cons. I like these, they look respectable.

They are nice, a bit different. Seem to be a marmite car, you either love or hate the looks.
You'd need to wait til the pubs are back open if you fancy sitting in the back, cos you will need to be legless to manage it!

If it was 08 it would be a lot more desirable.

Being petrol it would still be on scaldy tax I'd imagine.
Realistically it's only worth about a grand at best.

colm_mcm · 18-04-2021 10:13PM

I just assumed it was a 2.0 diesel

Same as that for me.

I think they're a cracker and anything that reminds one of the 480 is to be lauded.

I've my eye heading in that direction for when we replace the K12 as she's insistent that we don't need another "big car" and apparently the Carina and Corolla are too big for her.

3-doors and all!

New shape Jazz/Fit automatic with 12 months test for €1900

€180 tax for the year and all. You'd still pay close to this for a decent old shape example.

lovely looking yoke , surprised its still there

Thanks for highlighting, bought this today, in immaculate condition not as much as a speck of dirt inside, well minded, the woman in almost tears seeing it going. Drives like a dream for a car that age.
