You know one of the great things about this thread is, so long as you're not a reg plate snob, for peanuts you can actually swan around in some fantastic cars for next to nothing.a welcome relief from my friends who think they are saving money by paying 18,000 for a newish Hyundai i30 because it has a diesel engine, low tax and good mpg. And they actually think they're nice cars, they're not!!
Well said, lads!
And we really are very lucky that Ireland probably has the best value bangernomics cars.............in the wurrrrlllldddd

Something comparatively awful (exactly what I'm not 100% sure yet) imo
Needs must, work etc etc etc
The silver lining is that I was struggling big time with ideas as to what I was going to replace it with so I'm not overly bothered.0 -
I've literally never seen one of them before. The pics make it look proper dodgy!0 -

Pity it's not an auto but a years NCT, mileage not mentioned...

An Alfa perhaps RJ? :pac:
This on the other hand is complete bangernomics. Clearly just passed the NCT recently so it's relatively ok and it's got some tax. Yours for about €850. Proper stylish bargain that would benefit massively from a very good clean.

Nice car and all that, 166man, but a 4 pot 166 just isn't right
BTW my best mate saw the error of his ways and he is selling his nearly 2 year old MiTo diesel. He bought a bangernomics Busso 166 LPG (€0.70/l) for a grand
He already has a GTV and and a Spider. Triple Busso man My ads on adverts.ie

Is that the same seller all the time or is it moving around do you know?
Have a feeling it's the same seller, however reckon it's had a dodgy few years since we had it. in 2010 when we got the 159 Tractamotors took the 166 and a few weeks later rang my Dad to let him know it had been sold to an ''older lady'' down in Cork and it was on it's way down there. Then after a few months it came up for sale by some fella selling it very cheap at about €2.2k.
It then popped up on donedeal a few weeks later for €3750 some punter trying to make a few quid and since then the miles have crept up slowly and the price fallen to €2650. It's a bit weird if I'm honest and it'd be getting a very thorough look over if I was looking at it. Anyway just some background info for you there anyhow.Nice car and all that, 166man, but a 4 pot 166 just isn't right

True but the 2.0 is surprisingly not too bad in the 166, trust me many a time that car was full to the brim with a full boot and five on board and it went to and from Dublin to Kerry.
Mmm lpg V6.... Best of both worlds...:D0 -

Apart from it being overpriced I can't see much wrong with it really. If you could get it closer to the grand mark It could prove to be good value reliable motoring imo.Slightly over priced? LOL understatement of the year

So what if it's got black bumpers, many cars in the 90's had. Imo it's better than some other sh*te that gets posted in this thread.0 -

It's very 90's with he black bumpers and suits the car. Looks very clean 0 -

Absolutely it's not that bad folks, while over priced it's not the worst, get a few hundred quid off the asking and it would easily give 10 years of ultra reliable motoring too. That's bangernomics IMO.
It does look mint to be fair though and the black bumpers suit it. Not a bad find BW. 0 -

Reliable motoring indeed. For those of us with very low demands / ambitions and no sense of style whatsoever
Dude, €1,600 would get you a very, very nice less than 10 year old high end motor. A fool would spend that on a 20 year old low end sh1tbox tbh My ads on adverts.ie

Dude. not everyone wants a high end motor. Some want a car that looks as clean as the day it left the shop and will never break down. Not everyone wants a 2002 E200 that will sh1t itself after 6 months.
Different strokes for different folks etc etc. You yourself might not like it but at least make yourself aware that others might. 0 -
Tbh you seem to look down your nose at anything that isn't a premium brand:rolleyes:. Yes you are correct 1600 would get you a nice less than ten year old high end motor but that ''high end motor'' won't be as reliable, well engineered, or as cheap to run/maintain as on of these ''low end sh1tbox'' as you like to call them.Reliable motoring indeed.

Sure. My main car is a 12 year old Saab 9-5 (worth about €600), based on the '88 Opel Vectra platform
Hardly a snob, am I?

Honda, SOHC 16v about 115bhp iirc.
No NASP Rover engines found their way into 600s
Had one of them years ago, not a bad bus to be fair.
... sold mine and bought a Celica just like the one above funnily enough.0 -

The only person I ever knew that liked "big old fat women" also drove a 1992 Toyota Corona import with 400k miles on the clock and he loved it. It died only recently. God honest truth.
Some like both. It'd be an interesting Psychoanalysis study of him I reckon.0 -

In all seriousness though there is nothing at all wrong with a Saab even if it has GM underpinnings.0 -

Either way they're freakin me out.
They're the factory wheels, I reckon someone cheaped out on the tyres, can't remember what size tyre went on them but I do remember it wasnt cheap
Mine was lowered too though so looked :cool:0 -
Possibly the nicest celica posted here?
1k. Loads of test. 5 months tax.

What about this CRX ? Is it any good you reckon ?
Another one owned by a member of the Irish forum, so it will have been looked after and it will be a classic long before the Hyundai Coupe ever will be! 0
