Corolla 2.0d estate with 98k miles, NCT til December 2021, €1250

This is interesting. Aircon and a sunroof must be very rare on one of these

VW Golf convertibles sold in small numbers so it wasn't cost effective to design an entire new Golf convertible with every new generation of Golf hatchback. The Mk1 Golf convertible stayed on sale for most of the Mk2's life too. They just slapped Mk4 panels on to the Mk3 convertible to bring it inline with the hatchback but it was always a stop gap until the new Beetle convertible arrived a couple of years later. Then the Eos replaced the Golf convertible altogether when the Mk5 Golf came along and that lasted well into the Mk7 Golf's life before VW gave up on that market.

Talk about the half arsed way of doing it but then that's VW for you. So somene back then would pay more for this than a full proper MK4 and only get parts of the MK4 but mostly a MK3 car. The least they could have done is fit the MK4 dash but nope MK3 dash as well. How dull not that the 4 was any better. No wonder it looks so I'll proportioned from the side view.

It's not like it was a secret though. I'm sure every single person who bought one seen it before they bought it. It's very blatantly not a Mk4.

Were those mk3/4 built by Karmann or built in Mexico and exported?
Or both?

It was the same with the mk6/mk7. Heres a 2016 mk6 convertible:

Sure the mk6 hatch was little more than a revamp of the mk5 anyway.

Odyssey 2005

I'd have the Irish one first. Cute little thing for small money. The kind of thing you wouldn't be embarrassed to drive.

Turbolounge

The Mk6 convertible looks very dated for a 2016

ZR 160 auto with NCT til January 2022, tax til June, €1295

Definitely would

wotzgoingon

Auto though what is the auto box like on them?

Duke O Smiley

****e, I’d imagine!

Toyotafanboi

Only problem is it's literally a Rover 25 with MG badges and the wrong alloys for that model ZR.

slipperyox

Does it have a functioning head gasket?

wotzgoingon

They are nice alloys though.

I think so anyway.

Not for long.

1.8 is 160 not the 1.6

[Deleted User]

As TFB said, it's a Rover 25 1.6 auto that someone has gone to a lot of trouble to turn into an MG ZR.

Great cars. The brother had one and never had any problems with it. Very reliable and good to drive with plenty of power the 1.6 diesel anyway. Looks well in blue too. The only reason he changed is he needed something bigger so got the Volvo S60 with the same engine basically I think.

A few more cheap Convertibles...

For less than a grand, this Megane. NCT last month to 01/22. €999. I like the colour.

This is a bit classier, cream leather on black looks good too. NCT was done 4 weeks ago and can be done in another 4 weeks, so should be good to pass.

These aren't the prettiest IMO, but I'm surprised how cheap they are. 2007 Eos, slowish 1.6 manual, but has plenty of spec. No idea how reliable to roofs are either.

Longish NCT to 03/22 €1,550.

Well over budget at €2,700 with a short NCT to 08/21, but would be worth this in 12 months. 318i Auto.

I would also say there is room there to bargain. Maybe if someone offered them a grand they would take it.

Yeah but it’s still a heap of sh1te

It would worry me that there's not a single photo of that Eos with the roof down

Because it looks ****e enough with it up.

Toyotafanboi

The roof's on those Eos are an utter disaster between not opening and closing properly and leaks.

Sound advice if you have an Eos, if the roof is closed and not leaking too much then don't touch it.

Thoughts on Subaru legacy, love the styling personally and nice interior too diesel one might make more sense but I've heard some bad stuff about diesel boxers.

slipperyox

A friend has one, and so far so good.
But the boxer engine is a ticking bomb,...when not if

passatman86

Loads and loads of those diesel leagacys up for breaking down the years with engines gone
Even the petrol jap import ones suffered engine trouble - big ends

Turbolounge

Does it have full Subaru service history i.e. new head gasket every third oil change?

selectamatic

It's the 2.5s that are plagued with headgasket issues.

Those 2.0s are pretty reliable I think.
