    Murder and rape, now that you mention it, neither are treated consistently by the legal system here, unfortunately. That wouldn't encourage me to commit either offence personally.

    Sarcasm, gentlemen and the hour need to be advised. Half of the polish community and somewhere in the region of 5% of irish drivers drive without insurance. I somehow doubt a drive up the motorway would be detected in an otherwise insured and legal vehicle. The consequences of an accident could be an all together different scenario.

    Can you actually prove any of this?

    Why do people always have something bad to say about foreign lads in this country?

    He's only after buying the thing, I doubt it's otherwise insured, probably not taxed either :)

    I'm not even going to mention the 50% thing.

    Your no exception to the rule.

    My first years driving my insurance was over €3000 afaik, and to date i've nearly spent €10,000 on insurance policys since i started driving.

    and i've never had a car much newer than ten years old or much bigger than a 2.0, and nothing i would consider "nice" enough to chance taking an uninsured bypass blast.

    you have to suck it up and drive small cars until you cut your teeth in the driving world. man up and drive a micra until you get your no claims.

    Fair enough, but it's all about the benefit against the risk. In the case of cgal, it's a massive risk just to ''rip up the motorway'' in a Rover, and certainly one I wouldn't take myself.

    closer to half that if you want it to sell i'd say.

    a nice car they are, but, particularly petrol ones seem to be sale proof at the best of times.

    Which one?

    Edit; They seem to fetch decent money, even without test. http://cars.donedeal.ie/find/cars/for-sale/Ireland/Rover%2075?filter%28max_year%29=2000&filter%28min_year%29=2000&source=all

    I'm gonna bang it up for €550 ono after I fix the ABS light tomorrow :)

    well from a buyers perspective,

    200 would be a good price to get it at, 500 would be the max i'd spend and anywhere in the middle is an o.k. purchase.

    12 year old 2.0 petrol Rover with no test or tax, not an easy sold car, what do you value it at?

    there are a few Rover followers on here, myself included, but that car isn't worth much.

    Seriously i doubt anyone would give more than 200 for it. If you get 550 i would be taking sleeve and most of shoulder in one bite. Tax is 600 euro and nct is 100 with no work..

    Well, like I said, they seem to go for good money. €1200 with no mention of test; http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3434240

    Non-runner for €400; http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3573545

    €1200 again with no test (lower miles though) ; http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3692965

    cgal093 :

    its easy to search donedeal and look up the most grossly overpriced examples of what you are selling in an effort to pull the wool over your own eyes. But be realistic, this rover is something you picked up for **** all, and it was that price for a reason, that was its worth.

    the most likely reason the cars you have linked on donedeal are still for sale is because of their price tags.

    I'l let someone else school you on the ABS light.

    Not one for €200 there; http://cars.donedeal.ie/find/cars/for-sale/Ireland/Rover%2075?filter%28max_year%29=2000&filter%28min_year%29=2000&source=all

    This Rover is the 2nd most expensive car i've ever owned.....€300 :pac:
