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

A user asked about an Alfa 159 not so long ago but I can't find the post, at least I think it was in this thread anyway....
There seemed to be a consensus that there was a petrol engine to avoid, which one was it?

A smidge over Bangernomics limit, but you'd get it under. This is nice, shame the interior lets it down, in my opinion. Still, maybe I could live with it?!

I hope somebody buys it before he buggers it up any further... I couldn't tell you the last time I saw one they were a great little car.

There was a 98 one for sale.in Kilkenny in march 2019 that I was after. Sold before I got down. Raging. Immaculate. And 800.

I bought a lovely 98 or 99 black cynos about five years ago in Chapelizod for 200 quid. They’re a lovely little car.

I heard they have heaters in the boot to keep your hands warm when you are pushing them in the winter. :pac:

It's an old Fiat 124 built by hungover Russians with no job satisfaction, what could possibly go wrong

They were no better or no worse than all the other crocks that were around at that time.

Gen 1 Cynos 1.5 manual with NCT til September and tax til June, €1900

Not a contender for bangernomics bargain of the year but a cool little car nonetheless. I'd love this

I do like those. Guessing the grey lower panel paint isn't original. Looks terrible imo. Fairly fecked up with all the leds etc but that could be reversed.

There's a five year gap between tests from 2016 to 2021. I don't think it means much, seeing as it has a test now, but it would be nice to know the reason.

Just going by the pictures, it looks like the bodywork might have a bits that need doing if you wanted it perfect - Passenger door anyway, drivers side front arch. Might be some rust or a previous repair that wasn't the best on the drivers side rear arch, it is a 15 year old car after all.

I know nothing about the engine, that's why I asked in the original post. Anyone have and insights into the petrol engines in a 159?

Interesting car, I'd love it, but I've a 15 month old who would destroy that interior!

I dislike ads that don't have the reg plate, and this seller went out of its way to not show the reg plate. So this & being off the road for at least 3 years are just red flags to me.

has been driven less than 30k miles in the past 7 years

So 30k since test in 2014, test in 2016, and then some issue which caused the car to sit up for a few years until they could fix it? I wonder what said issue was?

Was looking for a car and thought this civic was a decent deal although was transferred to an owner in March so possibly one to avoid? https://www.donedeal.ie/adview/view/28120351

Thankfully. The sooner them and the horrible cheap 3rd world Micras are gone from the roads the better. A hateful car if ever there was any. 800 is way to much for that. It should be in the bargain 500 euro thread because it's not worth anymore than that.

Good little cars. Horrible seat covers do. They really do nothing for the car but the tyres look good. Maybe this should be in the 500 furore thread do.

It's no Chevy Cruze or SsangYong Rexton for sure.

TommyGun2017

Despite what I've read about them reliability wise, I cant help like this 407 priced at €975

New NCT until 5/22
More reliable 2.0hdi
Cheap tax at €400
Heated leather, cruise. Think these high spec UK ones came with sat nav and xenons too.

Boot looks like its had a knock? Anyway, a nice yoke to cruise along at 120km/h

I dunno what history you have with them to say they offend you so much, but I had a 06 ST diesel hatch version that I loved

Duke O Smiley

I always had a soft spot for Mondeos until the Mk4 came along. The Mk3 is so unloved now but I'd definitely have one. Hoards of them took dogs abuse in the Garda fleet.

Speaking of which, didn't the Garda have a few Platinum spec ones in 07? The one posted by Bazz had the look of an ex Garda car about it, with its 4 digit D reg

johndaman66

I'd agree that them Mondeo's were far from the worst cars on the road at the time. No doubt there was better than them but they were far from the worst. If you want to look at the same class alone, the P12 Primera, Laguna II or Vectra C wouldn't have being a patch on it.

Brother had a 2001 1.8 and 2005 ST diesel Mondeos. Nice balanced and comfy drives for what they were I thought. Dated now no doubt but for their time they were hardly the worst looking car on the road. I say all this without being the biggest Ford fan ever.

Ya, the last 3 months is always a concern.
But there can be valid reasons too, phone and ask how long they have had it and why selling.

Give it a good test drive, check clutch, and let idle to overheat/fan on etc and you should be fine.

What do you think about this one guys? 2005 clk 2.7 CDI. 1600 EUR.
