      What is the point of this abomination?

      https://www.donedeal.ie/commercials-for-sale/mini-countryman-cooper/27986079

      It’s a white van, wrapped black, on private tax, crap pictures, and filthy.

      It used to be owned by a coffee roasting company in Dublin

      It stood out

      The dealer must be trying to stop it standing out now, by taking photos of it in a ditch.

      Why on earth make it commercial when you're leaving it on private tax? You lose the flexibility of using rear seats for what? a more expensive annual test and a higher charge on toll roads. I just don't get it.

      The Coffee roasting company converted it/or it was already converted (these did sell new as commercials) then it was possibly sold to a private person who did not have a business so could not commercial tax it. Maybe they just wanted it for the extra space for DIY jobs, dogs etc

      Once it's a commercial the NCT don't do it so over to CVRT it goes.

      If used privately it must be taxed using the old cc rates.

      Terrible photos, there isn't a single one of the passenger side and the rest don't compliment the car at all.

      Agreed, and its a shame as it looks like a tidy, low mileage car and reasonably priced.

      Go back out with the camera and redo the photos. The resolution on DD is crap too. Upload 20-30 good photos to a site like imugr and put the link in the ad description.

      Lol Saab was mine. I sold it at the weekend. It's a 900. Same week I bought it my neighbour bought an identical silver one from Deane Motors.

      He traded it in for the 440 turbo last year from Deanes again!

      Wasn't entirely sure if it was a 99 or 900.

      Also I thought you needed a mortgage approval just to window shop at Deane Motors. :pac:

      Genuinely curious about this but see the DC2 above is a Jap import would you be able to claim VRT back like you can in Ireland if you imported a car from UK and then sent it back to UK or would it have to be exported back to Japan to be able to claim it back.

      Or am I completely bonkers and haven't a clue what the hell I'm on about.

      Interesting to note it's also taxed at the CC rate, not the CO2 rate despite being >2008, as the tax class on the VLC was changed to N1.


      Absolutely no reason for a private person to do that, but if the car was sold cheaper because of the conversion by a prior owner I would see it making sense.

      BMW M4 Competition is priced to sell for €1:D:P

      https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/2021-bmw-m4-competition-g82-510hp/27980274

      Edit: Now I seem to have got it. Just like people write 200,000km as 200km, I guess this guy wants us to understand that the price is €100,000.

      "This car is priced to sell on a first come first serve basis."

      It sure is.

      Starting price on an M4 before options is €130,000.

      I would rather have this car, which he is also selling for €1. (M3 CSL)

      That’s why I always use minimum filters for price and mileage. Can’t be dealing with that crap.
