    Don't think I've ever heard of a diesel Starlet. :confused:

    That particular one started out as a 1.3 petrol turbo - says so in the advert ;)

    Neither had I!

    I thought that perhaps there was a diesel model starlet, which is where the engine came from. And he just swapped the petrol 1.3, for the diesel lump in the other starlet...

    Obviously not:pac:

    There was indeed, in the early mid-90s there were a load of them imported into Ireland from Japan. Usually white and 3 door. And with the "luxury" of air-con way back then :D. My family nearly bought one I remember from the Frank Fahey Motor Centre on the Naas Road.

    Along with the smallest available engine. Perfect example of a car that was bought for the badge and nothing else.

    No electric rear windows, 120000 miles, no M kit, despite what it says in the ad. And it's not even a diesel...Dreamer is right!

    3200 for a 95 diesel starlet.
    http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4001988

    Rare but not worth half that

    It's worth practically nothing except scrap metal; It's what I'd call a "Frankenstarlet", a GT Turbo with a 1.5 diesel engine lifted off of another car; Nothing declared on the registration (the ad says "it's still a 1.3 on the logbook"). I can just imagine the comedy the moment it's brought up for the NCT :P

    Somebody really takes their "amateur mechanic" hobby too seriously...

    Two 2004 156s have crept into the bangernomics thread lately, this yoke if priced realistically should be in there too... overpriced by €1500 at least imo...

    Another new feature on DD that I hadn't seen before - listing the annual motor tax in the details. Not a bad idea! :cool:

    I'm nearly sure it was, because I was thinking of buying it before it went to its latest home in Cork. As far as I remember, it was sold for around the €2000 mark back then (now the asking price is nearly twice that).

    I'd like to nominate this dealer :D

    http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3510499

    View2-12391902.jpeg

    2002 530D M-Sport Estate asking €8745

    Advert is 6 days old, much like this other 2002 530D M-Sport Estate which is asking ... €3000!

    http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4003220

    View2-14740568.jpeg

    Ok, so the second one has nearly 40k more miles but it also has metallic paint and a recond gearbox with 6 month warranty, along with tax to Jan 2013. Can anyone tell me why there's over €5000 difference in price? :D

    Posted already. It's a very rare spec c jap import. Nice car, but not for Irish market ( not anymore anyway )

    And yes, it is slightly too much.

    It's basically a group N rally car minus the roll cage and quicker than cars twice it's value. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but while it is overpriced its not as crazy as it first seems.

    What "hack"? they've got seat covers on to protect the easily wearing alcantara seat and rubber mats to protect the carpet?! Even a rubber boot liner for the boot. Don't see what your rolling your eyes about.

    usually for an ad youd remove the seat covers though , unless your hiding some manky seats under them
