    I reckon after you do a good few miles in her you'll wonder why the W124 is so highly rated.

    The W124 is more comfy and the E34 hasn't a hope of reaching a million miles. I'll take the BMW any time though :D

    Bargain banger right there. Very good.

    And it's the old 1.3 according to mywheels.ie, so no timing belt to worry about either!

    Not sure how a 5 series or any other luxobarge gets into bangernomics, not really relevant, getting a 15 year old fiat brava TD "mile muncher" for 450 euros would IMO.

    I'm not sure how you'd manage to get one of them, the diesel Brava wasn't available until 1996 ;)

    The absolute LAST car I would ever buy is a Fiat Brava... Some cars are bad but they are such utter balls of crap...

    I might buy that 520i...

    a golf v6 motion VAN.
    Good idea. Bad Idea.
    One way to bet the tax man.

    The tax-man is starting to close that loop-hole of allowing the taxing of a commercial for private use!

    But if you intend to use this as a commercial with your VAT number, its still WAAYYY over priced.

    €8,900 for a 8 year old golf with no back seats? Dreamer

    Here is another 8 year old V6 golf:

    Going for €3,500+€1400 VRT. Worth 2,500+VRT IMO

    All I know is that you can't have a commercial while your on the dole, which makes sense...

    Now that has to win Car of the Week, even if it is white! Basically a Honda accord for €250! Bit far away, as someone said..... and it's manual :(

    That's a 190? Looks worth a look, especially if it's auto.
