Isn't the whole aim of bangernomics to buy the most inexpensive motor that is roadworthy, run it for a year or two and rinse and repeat? Or maybe I'm focusing too much on just the asking price in lieu of everything else?

You'd really need to see that 3 series in the flesh. From the pics, it looks like the front tyres are in need of a change. The colour looks pretty nice, but I notice there's an after market spoiler on the back, which looks a bit naff. There was a great looking 325ci here not that long back, for about 2500ish if i recall correctly, that looked a million times better.

A chaved up, 13 year old BMW with after market suspension that'll no doubt lead to an insurance premium and a crooked reg plate? No way it's worth 4 figures.

I wonder what percentage €650 is of the original list price. Maybe around half of 1%? The MPG figure might be even more startling.

Older Volvo S40. Full Leather & Air Con. NCT 05/13 €1150

Replace that front grill with one of these (if it fits) and maybe add a front splitter so it looks more like this one and it's quite a nice looking car imo!

Another 406 but quite unusual in white. Looks well. NCT 4/13 €800

Rav4 from 96 with NCT til next year. Asking 895 but I'm sure some haggling would lend itself to something.

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4084238

Maybe, what do I know?

This is a no brainer. Tax til well into next year and NCT. 995 but again, tax is worth a fair chunk of that.

Pity they have no low-box - would make a fun off-road toy otherwise

Don't forget the Lexus lights, cloth seats, tape deck and no aircon.
Not sure about those early e46s and nikasil either.
Looks like a diffing machine shir!

That would be running a M54, which didn't suffer from nikasil issues.

But you're right, didn't cop the no aircon craic. Lets be honest though, the e46 is a pretty strong car, but at that mileage you can bank on it needing work. I was quite taken by the colour all the same!

I really like this... If you bagged it for €1250 and got it taxed and NCT'd for 6 months then its very nice motoring for under €2k IMO.

Nice Merc - though anyone know what Mercedes were thinking with the trim?

Looks like seating from a 1980's Kazakh Airlines passenger jet.

That raised my suspicion. Selling a car with short NCT and only interested in buying one with long NCT

Perhaps he suspects the car won't pass the test? For around what he is asking for, I would demand a fresh test or walk away. Wouldn't even bother having a closer look

I doubt Kazakh Airlines had jets in the 80s. Maybe some knackered Russian turboprop Tupolev

good post, but the sellers misinformed, as this car will always need an nct to be legal.
