The colour! *shudders*

I actually like it too, especially on an E34. I think it's one of the nicest colours they did it in

That colour is horrible! I'd actually go as far to say it's the worst looking E34 I've ever seen.

And it's not that i have anything against gold, I usually love it on big saloons, but it's not even a nice gold!

Looks fantastic, all for 1500, maybe haggle and get it for 1200
NCT till 04, no word on tax though, for me this is a beaut of a luxo barge
seems to have a little dent above wheel arch, but it could be reflection,
also steering wheel has a lot of shine to it. I'm still drooooling

BMW Style 49

Cianos · 29-12-2011 1:16pm

I'm thinking of getting a new car, budget would be around 1k. Looking for something reliable and cheap enough to run. I don't want it to be a liability after purchase at all. Something closer to 1L as well for now...any tips would be much appreciated

E39MSport · 29-12-2011 2:35pm

pre 95 1.0 or thereafter 1.3 (4e-fe) starlet
1.25 fiesta
1.0 polo ( http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/2839892)
1.3 corolla (4e-fe engine)

A grand is pushing it though imo for a good example. Not impossible though.

barura · 29-12-2011 3:06pm

A Focus and Fiesta at cheap prices? Internet a little bandy so cant view pics... http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/2841230 900 for focus, 300 for fiesta, both NCT'd.

Dublin lad Alan has picked this one up and is now looking for more than double the price :eek: http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/2842253
So now the next owner is well over 3 grand.

600 bills fester

And a 318 for 600, bit skanger, but fulls service history and leather must be worth something, right? And NCT

Excuse the ignorance but what's a 4e-fe engine? And how do I spot it?
I'm looking for something similar myself, mostly looking at corollas for now.

Dublin to Donegal is a bit of a spin, he'd want to make a few hundred to make it worth his while.

barura · 29-12-2011 7:57pm

Pretty neat car 680, but haggle down to nearer 550 and you should be grand.

Hell, I'd love one for my lady to drive on... but alas, little dangerous in a crash.

Seicento for 250! http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/2841673

600€ with NCT

I'm only after buying a Punto and have no spare money. I would jump on it otherwise.

Saw that one myself and stopped reading at "Clutch is starting to slip,will need replacing in the coming months.Hence the price."

It would only cost couple hundred quid and a lot of swearing to somebody handy with cars. I guess.

No tax, but a year of test for €650.

Top spec for an Octavia in 2000 was fabric seats, no front fogs, non-metallic paint, and 110bhp diesel engine?

Dublin lad Alan is a bit of a muppet really. :rolleyes:

On another note, everything else that Barura posted is just like Everymans guide to a complete list of junk Sorry dude, I know you're trying. How can someone post a skip one mimute and then 30 seconds later a potential future classic. Keep posting Barura

No, not at all. They make that and much more, most 00's with decent mileage would warrant around the €2,000 mark, very easily.

markens2 · 30-12-2011 2:06pm

I know this is a long shot. I've been trying to shifit my Alfa 166 for 1100 yoyos. I've resigned myself to the fact that this will never happen.
Now I've decided it has to go no matter the price. What trade in price should I expect on another car. Looking to spend 1500 max. Thinking of an estate.
I have about 500 cash plus the 166. Might be able to get another 300 or so if the right car comes up.

Also any suggestions or links to cars that would suit would be appreciated.

I feel your pain. Have had lots of Alfas myself and a 166 also and if you find the right buyer (an Alfa enthusiast), you're grand, but other than that, they are too niche, especially the 166, GTV etc.

What year is it? Mileage etc? NCT? Is it on Adverts? I don't see it there
As for the value as a trade in, that will really depend on what you are buying, or if it's private or trade etc

Spotted that Safrane earlier alright. Not bad with test until 2013!

****EDIT****
Just saw this now for €500
Tax AND NCT until July!!

Tax alone is worth over €350
