    Beep beep. I like these Polos, cheap to run, etc. It's got 4 doors, piece of piss to park and taxed + Nct for 6 months.

    Grab it for 450 and its pretty good motoring, in my honest opinion.

    http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4143437

    But hey, why listen to me?

    Here, have a jap ****box for your troubles then.

    1.3 "bulletproof" engine, NCT for 4 months. 500eur

    And from France a rather sparse, but nice looking 206 with NCT til next april. 500 notes.

    But for nice driving, I would go for this Renault Laguna. 420, test til April...

    Seriously lads, I don't see how anything economically sound can be construed out of an 18 year old BMW 730, you will pay more on a year's tax than the car will ever be worth and that's before you even take in juice and repairs. If you want to see what a 7 series is like, go for a test drive or lease one for a month, either option makes more sense economically.

    You could make a lovely sitting room suite with the napa leather seats 12 v electrics and all
    consisting of 2 armchairs plus a 3 seater a la top gear.

    Then you could use the engine as a lovely base for a cool coffee table ,

    sell off the other parts for more than the asking price

    , is this not economically sound :confused:

    :D

    obviously you are confused what "bangernomics" mean

    No, I think bangernomics means any functional car, with test and preferrably tax that can be bought for small money, kept for a year max and sold on for what you paid for it, or as close as possible.

    I think there needs to be a second thread for badge fanboys who want to drive the 20 year old version of a car they can't afford.

    To use a football analogy, it's a bit like signing Roberto Baggio for £1m cause he would have cost 10 times that 20 years ago. I'd say buying a decent championship striker for the same money, giving him a chance and if it doesn't work out flogging him back to the Championship for £800k would be a bit more economically wise.

    But you're missing the point that its the experience of the car, or in your analogy, the person, that makes it worthwhile.

    It's not a perfect world, I admit, but I like the idea of getting a car and driving it into the ground. Maybe that makes me a nihilist actually... Hmm.

    That 03 Laguna, I wouldn't go near it especially with that spartan interior.... I wouldn't go for one again. Full stop.

    This is a much better prospect:
    NCT till Sept, 1395

    Top end should have full leather, sunroof, 17" alloys and possibly sat-nav.

    The mid-range model had the all round electric windows so the only thing it really has is the digital air-con. :rolleyes:

    That shine could easily be retained with a decent polish and sealant/wax. Looks clean, I like the S3 alloys. I spent months looking for a set for mine a few years back.

    Edit: the passenger wheel looks destroyed :(

    Wasn't there something about that IS300 not so long ago?

    Or was that an Is200 estate?
