    If it fails the NCT on something serious, you've just wasted the guts of €1.5k (before even taxing or insuring it)

    Ridiculous risk to be taking in my book...

    On the other hand if you live in Donegal / Sligo / Mayo and the like . . . . . .


    . . . . . cheap motoring for €800 for a tax dodger with balls of steel :D

    Full service history
    Very low miles.
    Brand new test till April 2014
    Probably a bit expensive but if the miles and history check out its well worth close to asking.

    Great value there imo.
    I was looking at an s60 (02) with slightly more miles for the same price. Same engine, but it looked a lot more dated than the S80 - athough a dark color will do that on some cars.
    Pitty that car is at the other end of the country to me. Otherwise I would be taking a spin in it tomorrow.

    It does have a short NCT but has plenty of Tax left over and supposedly a Full Service History and low-ish miles.

    Tbh Very little goes wrong with these cars and they usually don't take much to get through an NCT, Still I would be pushing the owner to NCT it before purchase as it's nearly within the 3 months early test period.

    IMO If a potential buyer goes in with their eyes open this could turn out to be a great bangernomics car.

    ^^^^
    Another IS200! :eek:

    Also, was behind that exact Xantia yesterday on the North Quays :eek::eek::eek: I remember it because it's quite rare to see one in estate guise.... Only to see another one further down, a HDi this time :o

    Looked rather clean either way :)

    Wording is a little ambiguous, but my reading of it is that it passed the NCT 2 months ago and hence should have a decent length left. Wondering if heating up could simply be a thermostat/radiator issue rather than gasket worry?

    Granted its the weedy 1.6, and reasonably high miles, but if it does have test and the heating is a small issue then I reckon you could do a lot worse for €650

    Overheating rules it out for bangeromics though.

    Regardless of the root cause of the heating issue the possibility it's been cooked is quite high and hard to access pre purchase.

    This looks potentially decent...........

    Not a car that'll be in much demand but for people who want some V6ness in their life it might appeal...

    95K miles, NCT until Santa time, asking €1450.

    For someone doing a decent commute who wants a cheap yoke, 2000 Focus diesel with 11 months NCT, 102k miles and the seller claims the belt was done at 100k miles :) Asking €1400 which isn't overly cheap but if the car is genuine it's not too bad.

    I imagine you're right :D

    Wouldn't be too worried about the 149k miles if it runs well and you get the impression it has been maintained. These 6 pots are strong and should take another 100-150k miles. I'd be a bit more worried about the life of the box...

    Slightly over the 2k limit but open to offers.

    1.6l 02 Impreza with NCT.
