A nearly 9 year old 2.4l petrol Hyundai and asking price is €2,950. No sign of NCT or tax?
Anyone paying more than €950 needs their head examined imho

i did stipulate "if" it has NCT. and it's really advertised for €2450 and then you begin to haggle. it was more for representational purposes that i was saying that a lot of them will slip into the bangernomics price range shortly and they are a pretty decent car.0 -

They should have slipped into bangernomics price range years ago
Jaysus, 3k for a petrol manual '05 Hyundai Sonata with no NCT. I paid 4k for a mint petrol 6 speed auto '04 BMW 5-series with NCT a few months ago. The former should have been bangernomics back in '10. The latter won't be bangernomics for another few years yet My ads on adverts.ie:

Pretty sure my teacher had one back in the day ?
Actually, thinking back it was a TD, Another one had a 2.1 TD with factory alloys (which was a big deal in the mid 90s as back then you either had TSW Stealths or steel wheels)
I think it had a keypad immobiliser too.
Ah yes the 2.1 with its 12v head, 2 inlet and one out, all the same size ports
non intercooled, thirstier and lucas epic(ly crap) ecu pump is a best avoided yoke. A turn of a screw and the 1.9 is producing the same power and better economy in a slightly more efficient engine 
The 1.9sd was available in the continent..... Looking mid 40s for mpg from the factory, but who would buy one, they'd be desperate :pac:
I can't say I ever remember those cars in the 90's with alloys, every one of them I remember had trims.....
Keypad is very easily bypassed, I made a vid on how to do it using my 106 (petrol and diesel is all the same process)0 -

if it had NCT, it could be had (according to the advert) for very close to bangernomics money

The first one looks like good value but you have to haggle hard to get it into bangernomics! Probably sneaks in at the very top end
The second one... well...0 -
Dgt, I have a question for you. I had one of those 2.1 Xantias years ago. It was a 98 if memory serves me, must have been the last of them cause there was no key pad.
Anyway (and sorry for going off topic here) it used to have a mental problem. It would run fine for hours, maybe days and even weeks some times. Then out of the blue the revs would start to randomly fluctuate between 800 - 14/1600. You be sitting there at traffic lights in neutral then suddenly the engine would start revving up and down. Turning it off usually fixed it, but not always. Any ideas what this was Dgt, I never got to the bottom of it.
On the car itself, well I'd have to agree, a 1.9 turbo was a superior car except for in one place, the 2.1s legs. A 1.9 would out accelerate the 2.1 but the 2.1 was like the Duracell Bunny, keep your boot down and it just went on and on and on.
Maybe I can answer?
I may be wrong but that sounds like an idle control unit problem? Or a sticky throttle cable?0 -

The 2.2l straight six petrol
I was initially looking at buying a 2.5l as they are cheaper - only in Ireland My ads on adverts.ie:

Or dirty throttle body? I used to have the exact same symptoms on a petrol Rover 75. Brought it to Rover dealer, they spend about 40 minutes working on it only to tell me I needed a new throttle body. They didn't have any in stock so I said I'd think about it. They didn't charge me a cent. On the way home the problem was gone, never to return again. I had the car for another few years after that My ads on adverts.ie:

I had a 97 Xantia with no keypad too! Maybe it depended on the spec/market/how PSA were feeling at the time
Having trawled through many's a scrapyard on the hunt for various parts, any 2.1 I encountered almost always had it's ecu and pump missing. I couldn't understand why and asked about. I found out later ecu's were riddled with bugs, seems to be a common problem with the lucas pump, haven't heard much bother in the pre 97 ecu (commonly used for bosch ve conversions for veg oil/reliability etc). That's the only answer I can give for the idling issue, an early ecu might have solved it
Yep a standard 1.9 wouldn't stand a chance against a 2.1, it's a plodder in standard form, it was slightly better pre 98 with the older turbos but the 2.1 would still accelerate at high speeds where the 1.9 would stagger. Thank test driving loads for finding that out!
It'd be rude not to put up an XUD engined car at this stage....
NCT till Aug, 850
