For an extra €400 "depending on bargaining"
You would have the new model
What do you want to spend

The rear of the one you just linked has damage on the rear.. It would be a handy run around

Tomjim · 04-07-2021 12:25PM

as less as possible lol,

it's just for a second car

but I see your point about the newer model and a year fresher as well

passatman86 · 04-07-2021 12:48PM

Cheap as chips
Keep an eye on it.. Up an hour prov sold

Middle one is the nicest but is very short on test.

DARK-KNIGHT · 04-07-2021 10:47PM

have you seen anything that would be reliable I currently drive 70 km a day to work 5 days a week. i also do deliveries at night 4 days a week 200km a night roughly so i am using a fair bit of fuel in my petrol corolla 2005

any suggestions as to what might suit me seeing the driving i do?

Tomjim · 04-07-2021 11:39PM

That's mad that's the second tax disc I have seen stamped in one week despite never having one done to my own despite driving 20 years. I was going to say I never seen one stamped before but after seeing 2 in a week it must be more common than I thought and may have seen one before but just cannot remember.

Tomjim · 05-07-2021 12:01AM

I don't understand why is it stamped?

I asked on here a couple of days ago which was a car for sale that was stamped also on Donedeal and nobody answered but someone did say they may have lost the original. But I'm not sure if that is the correct answer.

TommyGun2017 · 05-07-2021 12:21AM

Second time I've given this a bump - the ad is still listed on DD (price further reduced?) And no - I am not the person selling it!

Anyway, I really like it. The 06 bangernomics Celica has been, and continues to be, utterly faultless. That being said, I wouldn't mind a change and I love well proportioned estate cars. Should I be worried that this hasn't already sold? And would I be mad going from a car that barely requires any maintenance to one that isn't exactly famed for reliability.

Yes it would most likely be a replacement for a list or stolen one.

Absolutely.

There are plenty of things you can check that are not technical that indicate you might have a good car (Has it got an NCT, evidence of service history, obvious damage etc) but at bangernomics level, there could be any number of hidden gremlins.

A mechanic will know exactly what to look for and a good one will know what common problems to look for specific to that model of car.

Long test

Looks very decent for the money

SteelyDanJalapeno · 06-07-2021 01:17PM

Tax is a little pricey

What is the junction type box located below the glovebox towards the centre console? There are also holes to the left of the centre console. PSV meter perhaps or maybe a handsfree kit?

You will be paying that sort of motor tax for that size engine on anything pre 2008.

I only just found this thread. New site is beyond bad. Very few posts anywhere since it came back.

I'm getting to grips with it slowly, the touch site is tough going the desktop version is much easier to handle.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 16-07-2021 11:16PM

New touch layout is driving people away. It really is awful.

M7roadrunner · 17-07-2021 09:43AM

And back to bangers!

I need some advice please,

It looks like I may need a banger for commuting fairly shortly, 120km round trip, 90% motorway.

It must be cheap to run, reasonable to insure and on the newer tax rate, and not be a awful place to be for my commute.

I have only owned German cars in the past, and I am partial to an estate.

Has anyone any suggestions for what might be ideal? Or know of a car that would suit?

Ideally I’d be interested in an Octavia combi, does anyone that has experience running one of these want to share what they were like?

Thanks.

passatman86 · 17-07-2021 03:46PM

These seem to be good for a motorway commute
