    I get an average of about 23mpg.

    I tend not to look at the guesstimate after a spirited drive though, no point. :D

    Bought the Clio for €250 and spent €20 on diesel, done absolutely nothing to it except give it a quick wash, stands €270

    Bought the Focus for €280, spent €20 on diesel and bought breakfast which was €15, spent €30 on spray and filler, stands €345

    All in, €615.

    I already know what I'm going to take for both, I'll drop €60 off the Clio and €50 off the Focus, so if I sell these I'll be making €880

    €265 profit for doing little to nothing :D

    Lol, nah! If I can get rid of it for nearly double what I paid without doing a thing then why the hell not? :)

    Also, sold the Focus, €450. Someone left a deposit off the Clio of €80 and I'll be getting another €300 tomorrow morning. Also, they're giving my mate €30 to bring it out to Dundrum.

    Another successful day in the trade :cool:

    I think he said he puts signs on top of them outside his house.
    Handy one it seems. Loads of cheap buyers in Cabra.

    Jaysus lads, I'm still trying to recover from ATWR. My voice and all is gone at this stage, trying to make sales calls earlier and I had everyone laughing down the phone at me!

    The Monday night in Limerick was especially tough, cheers to Colm for the encouragement to booze.

    :pac:

    With figaros, unless they're an original colour they're worthless, my guess is it was a right wreck if it was bought cheap enough to justify respraying.

    Who would do that!

    You'd want to be fairly mad to buy one of those but you'd be off your rocker to pay €6200 for one :eek::eek:

    I don't know, lads, I kind of like it.

    Now I wouldn't by any means drive it and it's seriously over priced but the colour suits the car and to be fair, not a lot of cars can pull off pink (Golf GTIs included).
    Mad money but not a mad car.

    *runs*

    I think figaro prices are dropping back a bit, for a while there, Triple Crown beside fairyhouse had tonnes of them and were effectively controlling the Irish price of them.

    They don't seem to be doing them anymore though.

    I still reckon a figaro is gonna appreciate in value again as they will inevitably get even rarer in years to come.
