Bangernomics car of the week/day part III

Sweet. But €1809 for road tax. €59 more a year to tax the car that what the car is worth(asking).
That's true - but if you have the funds to do both (buy and tax the car) - you've got a very nice car - and still less then the depreciation on a new diesel.
1809 is taking the urine in terms of tax cost though to be fair
Its completely counterproductive - most irish people won't touch a car at that tax rate - so no extra revenue :mad:
Still a nice car though

Proves my point. 3 door looks great (even after all those years). 5 door looks cack
The Tipo is one of the few cars I'd disagree with you on the 3 door v's 5 door hatch. Side on, I always though the back window was too long and it ruined the lines, made it look too estate-ish, nothing a chunky C pillar couldn't have rectified.0 -

Hence these cars being so cheap to buy, no one would consider one (unless they're an enthusiast/completely mad) very few will pay that tax on that car and because it's petrol it's further de-valued. It's a pity as I've seen so many cars of the same stature end up in the yard (ironically the one that sticks in my mind was a black 01 XJ like this one in show room condition inside and out that started up on the button
:(:( ) but if that's the way the market is there's very little one can do to help move on these big engined barges.
Such as this:
NCT Till Feb, 1600
6 months tax.... Was it a PSV?

Indeed, I looked at the market in the UK for one and its the same. It seems that running costs (outside tax) is the deciding factor.I couldn't have put it better myself than below:

There is great value to be had for a years motoring if you were willing to accept the risk of not having tax for a year and punting the car on. (not that I would ever do that of course)
Although thats probabaly all sewn up now too.
Anyway - pity, as mentioned above, the gov are missiong out on revenue. Penny wise and pound foolish.0 -

Speaking of. I knew they were the same alright.

2.0hdi's come in both 89(99-03) and 108 hp(99-04). Developed by ford/psa but use a 16v head and different turbo on the mondeo. Are these hdi's any good? Fixed turbo and 8v setup should be more reliable I would think.
I read somewhere before that they were developed by ford didn't know the finer detailshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSA_HDi_engine#2.0 0 -

1.5 Diesel, NCT 3/15 - €800
The car to have if you want an economical. Obviously needs a bit of haggling though. The same engine was fitted to the Citroen AX, and in 1989 it managed to get itself into the Guiness book of records when it managed 100 MPG on a 1000 mile trip from Dover to Barcelona.0
