    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.

    I did up the add last night.. I'll go out and take more photos. I've included photo of passenger side now.

    Shout out for the Volvo 440 and Saab 99 in the background.

    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!

    MX5 is smashing - best of luck with the sale

    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.

    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.
    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)

    The €1 price tags are just entered by the sellers to get the adverts included in viewers filtered search results.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,328 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    I wasn’t thinking of spending €100k, but now that I’ve seen the ad I might

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

    I agree that Celica is an insane price for what it is versus other similar Celicas. It'd be a sweet car for 2500 - 3000 or so, it looks like a really nice example, it also looks to be a JDM car that was imported to the UK and is u0 for sale here on UK plates. It's mad though, nobody would bat an eye at €9k for a DC5 and on paper the Celica is so similar, where did one or the other go wrong?

    The DC5 is more powerful and faster. Then when comparing that gen Celica to a DC2 R the R is lighter so faster again.

    I remember watching a Jap YouTube video and they mentioned if Toyota had made a Type R version of that gen Celica it would have been good.
