Bangernomics car of the week/day - Part II

Mad_Mike · 06-01-2013 2:26am

Not a bad little car for tipping around town
Couple of months tax, 6 months NCT and 4 new tyres for €500

barura · 06-01-2013 3:54pm

If you're honestly letting that go for 300...

Hope it goes well!

Redisle · 06-01-2013 3:58pm

Seriously. I think you could have asked closer to 800 for that! 300 would usually buy scrap meant for parts.

Adding my motor to the list

Trusty steed for 450e

That's seriously tempting!

dry_runner · 06-01-2013 5:22pm

First attempt here, always liked these... Merc CLK200 for €1400

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4260708

Pros: Facelift model, Auto, long NCT, Avantgarde spec

Cons: No leather, high mileage (fairly bulletproof engine though), no tax, needs fog light bulb, dent in drivers door, colour?

Overall decent bang for your buck I reckon, If driving well and could be got for €1200

barura · 06-01-2013 5:36pm

Petty motoring. 500 euro. One owner tax and test til middle of the year.

thats wright i'd rather walk than go near that thing

its got an auto box and a high driving position, two things that i require, i looked then up on parkers and honost john, it did not make for pleasent reading, but there are many happy owners out there.

Mr Benevolent · 06-01-2013 6:12pm

01 Saab 95 2L

I imagine it could be got for €700. Autobox is known to have issues at 90k miles, oil sludge problem is notorious, but if not noisy it should be ok. Fast enough when chipped.

Lovely motor Lightning, obviously not tempted myself but it's a fantastic colour and looks very clean.

No power steering either?

Nope, good starter cars though. Not the worst looking car either, the Polo of that time was far worse to look at.

Your list keeps changing lol.

Anyway here is one from back on this thread. Suits your needs and I remember someone saying COULD BE a cheap fix. Pickings are slim otherwise.

Yeah, I think it was Saab Ed who reckoned a fluid change might sort the autobox.

seems honest i think, certainly bangernomics potential, particularly if you managed to get the price down a small bit more.

Small roof damage?

And it looks like the 2 front doors have taken a couple of smacks too. :eek:

No mention of tax or test would have me thinking that neither are present either.

It may well have both tax & test, and with a couple quid off it might be ok.

I was more posting along the lines of "call by all means, but don't get the hopes up"

m-i-m-m- · 07-01-2013 5:18pm

Ah Bangernomics.. gotta love it! Inspired by this thread I picked this up a few months back. Cost me €600, she had just under 98,000 mls at the time. Had 4 moths tax and 9 months NCT on it, 4 brand new tyres, full Nissan service history... spotless inside and out.

It's a 1.8s so has a few nice little extras like remote central locking, semi bucket seats, alloys, skirts, elec sun roof and mirrors that sorta ****e. Travel from Dublin to Mayo nearly every weekend since I got her and hasn't missed a beat. Lovely planted handling on the motorway and comfortable as an old arm chair! Gets 40mpg ish on a long trip too which is okay for a heavy 1.8 petrol.

They have a poor taxi/old man image which suits me perfectly... ppl ignore it, and no ones gona rob it, haha! Plus that means you can pick them up cheap. €600 well spent! Long live Bangernomics.

I'm happy with just my shlice of Primera pie for now, asking for toppings would just be rude.

Alot of ppl seem to dislike the looks, but I tend to agree with ya! I reckon there unfussy and handsome... functional! The handling has to be the best part for me though, doesn't look like one but it's a proper drivers car... Prefer it to my sisters focus which is a great car to drive, also easily out-handles the 306 and Celica I had before it too. Shame its not a bit quicker though, if they made this model with the sr20 engine that the older p11 primeraGT had I'd have one in a heartbeat.

Mr Benevolent · 07-01-2013 9:39pm

Actually that era Primera is/was a good car, good engines, nice options and handling that Nissan tuned on the Nurburgring.

m-i-m-m- · 07-01-2013 9:54pm

True that, apparently Ford used the p11 Primera as the benchmark for handling while developing the mondeo... they got near but didn't quite match it though

It's the newer model to yours they dislike and i would'nt blame them

m-i-m-m- · 07-01-2013 10:58pm

Yup newer model lost the plot altogether! In every sense, boat of a yoke

Mr Benevolent · 08-01-2013 2:05pm

Hmmm, I'm starting to look at throwaway Bangernomics now - cars bought for less than €800. If they fall apart, no huge loss, but if they keep running, great. There are some great and some slightly dodgy cars in this category - notably Saabs, Jags, Alfas etc.

I call it Dodgonomics.

I'd say he means after a month or so. Lots can't be inspected, to be fair.

Rarely seen interior trim. :eek:

Toyotafanboi · 08-01-2013 3:48pm

i had a 99 e11 before with a similarly awful interior trim... but it was swirls not diamonds pattern, there was some real shockers on offer at the time it has to be said.

Seeing that has put a smile on my face
