yep sorry, thought that the car was much older than it was!!

It probably is too. They finished production in 04 so that one must of been laying about unsold for awhile.

Sure, €4500 please.

You can tell its not been clocked by the condition of the seats. They do look lovely.

Professional inspection welcome."

such poxy sales pitch:eek: the M5 yep but the rest Q cars? he must be as deluded as his price

CianRyan · 04-07-2014 11:06PM

Sure why would ya want anything bigger than a 2.5 though, the tax is a killer.
The rest of the line up doesn't count.

You could consider the 535/540i as Q cars, bar a slightly different single exhaust there's nothing on them to tell them apart from a regular 520i once debadged.

Surely the zero at the end is an accident. If it ain't he'll be waiting many a day to sell this 156

Fuuuuuuuck!!!!
300k km, no photo, AND he has the NERVE to say "Low Mileage"?
I will be keeping an eye on this ad for the coming weeks and months.

Don't forget the "Genuine Sale" bit, the guy is going abroad, hence the low price:eek:

Must be a joke.

2004 reg with 145 000 miles....... €5650. Admittedly I don't know the current market for the 320cd but that seems a tad on the optimistic side.

challengemaster · 13-07-2014 07:51PM

It's spot on tbh. Even a little cheap compared to others when you consider it's msport

Kaiser D · 13-07-2014 07:55PM

That's about bang on the money tbh.

Ah my mistake so. I should ahem do a little research before posting here again!

You don't see many in that colour, makes a nice change to silver or black.

Seems high because they've held their value very well. I bought mine 3 years ago for ~7k

ION08 · 21-07-2014 06:54PM

Surely this guy doesnt really think his 1986 knackered eastern european dirtbox is worth 7k??

Advertised as a "Collectors" car too.

Might swap for a Touareg V10 TDI no less.

Am surprised he isnt asking for money his way!

Not sure if taking the piss or seriously deluded?

Stupid price but it's a such a cool car.

Wold probably be worth it if it was a mint low mileage example owned by a granny who only drove it to church and back.

However, that thing looks like its been to the moon and back!

(The quality of Eastern European roads aren't much better than the surface of the moon either!)

Definitely looks like its had a hard life.

Sineor Sandor must be smokin too much turf lately:eek:
That skip is only fit for stock car racing. Think il mail him and offer him a swap of my v10 toe rag and a grand if he'll fill it with juice....:p

Renegade Mechanic · 23-07-2014 04:02PM

Its also left hand drive, 3 litres in displacement, and nearly 30 years old....

In a country with woeful insurance regulations, high fuel and motor tax and salty winter roads its pretty much a total no go at that price.

Kaiser D · 23-07-2014 04:13PM

That Mazda is worth a grand tops here in Ireland.

And thats to exporters or banger racers.

Dangel4x4 · 23-07-2014 04:55PM

Alfa 145 1.6 boxer - €1250

An 18-year old Italian car with no tax and no NCT.

I remember this was €1750 back in April...

Well worth it- 39k? I'd spend my own money on that all day long. I was thinking about one of these when I was looking for a cheap car earlier this year...

Yep, but they sound unreal! It'll never be a collectors car, but to the right person (me) I wouldn't say no. Wouldn't stop me low balling him though.

I fail to see the dreamer here tbh.

Cool car. Wouldn't pay 1250 for it granted.

Dangel4x4 · 23-07-2014 08:09PM

So which is it?

Kaiser D · 23-07-2014 08:57PM

Its a bit overpriced, but the seller is hardly a dreamer.

An uncle of mine had a 145 and 146 in the early 00s, both in red. He bought the 145 new and the 146 a few years later. He was the cool uncle :cool:
