    what if you paint a stripe on a silver one?
    You have to make sure to paint it through the centre, otherwise the car may side slip at speed :).

    '04 Megane 1.4, long NCT and half year tax €1850

    No mileage so could be high.

    View2-19444879.jpeg

    From experience a family member had/has with a Megane of that era, they really don't wear the miles well. It could be a good buy, but the interior and whole car in general really does feel like it has those miles as opposed to others if you get me?

    6 months test, a months tax. nice enough yoke cleaned up if there's no hidden catch. you'd still see diesel carinas asking for more than that.

    personally i'd say that polo has seen hard life and i'd avoid it like the plague.

    it does have a long list of recent work carried out and a fresh test i'l give it that. but no way would i but it, not for half that price.

    It's been pikeyed up a little bit, all can be undone mind you :)

    You have to ask yourself, with a car done up like that, what kind of life has it had? Has it been regularly serviced instead of spending money on looks? Why has it had a new gearbox?

    I'd tread with caution....

    Wouldn't care if that yoke had 10 years NCT and was going for €10 I'd still not buy it.

    One of the single worst car's I have ever been in in just about every single way... :o

    Hate the sight of them after this chap kept bringing his one to me with problem after problem after problem despite me telling him not to go buy one and get a Bravo instead.... Who was right in the finish I wonder? :rolleyes:

    Where is it now? Broken in his front garden since last October with an NCT till June due to a fried ECU :rolleyes:

    Doesn't surprise me tbh at all. They look rubbish, interior is appalling, the gearchange felt like being in a truck it was that bad. Add in the fact that never did well reliability wise and I can't imagine parting with €140 let alone €1400.

    A nice silver twin spark 166 would do better I think? ;):D

    Have been having a sneaky hankering for a 2002 520i recently enough alright... They are so cheap and a good one will be super comfortable, mainly think they E39 is a gorgeous car though.

    Many knackered examples going around though...

    Feshty doesn't have an NCT.

    Was there something about those almeras that made them very unreliable? I have a feeling that there is, but can't remember!

    daughter has one for the last eight years, aside from a gearbox four years ago, it has required nothing, aside from tyres etc, it walzes thro the nct each year, the interion is gone tho, they are not really pint sized tornado proof.

    Thought Bangernomics had gone quiet, instead it was just a new thread.

    Posted in another thread. Clean looking Laguna with a new NCT. I'd say it would shift for 600.

    Electrical gremlins. A lot of components that were physical became electric thus opened up a can of worms. Sensors went left right and centre. That engine must have had all it's sensors replaced at this stage! Then there was the f*cking airbag light..... :mad:

    As well as chewing tyres and being heavy on wishbones, it was fairly slow and felt wallowy, a farcry to it's predecessor.

    Best avoided are the words from a Fiat fanatic, me

    Well folks, motoring simply does not get any cheaper than with this little gem right here....

    http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4927640

    View2-19355784.jpeg

    - NCT 02/14
    - Tax of €93 every 3 months
    - feck all insurance
    - I'm sure 40ish mpg is possible too.

    Looks to have plenty of recent work done to it and looks very clean in the pictures. Asking €690, offer €600 cash and it really is an absolute gem.

    €600 for all that!! :eek::D Bargainomics!

    A friend of mine was rear ended at speed in one of them. He was lucky to walk away! Car folded like a concertina.

    Not for me, but a clean little car.

    :o Whoops, thought it was €200 a year road tax. That must be for a 0.9l. Jaypers what a joke, Near €300 for a 1.1..:eek:

    Jesus Christ... I'm doing Maths and Economics in college... Look like a right gobsh1te now! It's late!

    €330 a year for a 1.1 is just shameful. I'll stop here so not to begin another road tax debate on the whole fiasco.
