Doesn't sound right to me. It would cost quite a bit for a factory to continue making old stock.

I think the car was bought and never registered and that's why it has a 2009 registration.

:rolleyes: If all the parts are worth that much what's wrong with the van? He wants almost €6k for the parts listed but he'll sell it complete €1600.

He should have went completely mad and add on the extra Euro.

Mister Jingles · 09-08-2015 11:24AM

How anyone would of even bothered to do all of that to a lift back corolla is funny. Then the fact that he's calling it a G6 is even funnier.....why not go all out and call it a g6r with a 1.3 just for the craic.

A real g6r in fair to decent condition can be for for half the price of that "g6".

Yea, both the g6 and g6r have them as standard, nice ratios in them too, not bad at motorway speeds in 6th either. From memory 80mph is just over 3000 rpm in the 1.6. But they are prone to give trouble and can be difficult to source if your looking for one.

G6 is just a trim level and it was available in 5 doors, it just wasn't very popular so it probably is a genuine car. He hasn't really done much to it bar a set of lowering springs. I'd drive it.

Price is insane though. There are definitely G6R's for half that.

"No tire kickers"

If I was stupid enough to be laying nearly 10000+ on that thing I'd be kicking more than the tires.

Never knew they came in 5 door, still wouldn't want one, if it was a saloon I'd consider but not anywhere near that price.

Have to laugh at the Golf ad "built not bought" then looking for someone to buy it

It's not really built though is it? He just bought a bunch of parts and stuck them on :pac:

Most of the car is still "bought".

That lad with the Golf is on another planet.
A 14 year old car with killer tax for €12,000.
He must be a fairy.

Standard engine as well.

If it was turbo'd or something he might be able use that line but it's standard apart from the seats and gearknob

I don't get that.

If I won a car like that (I'd have absolutely 0 interest in owning something like it) I'd go straight to the nearest dealership and take whatever they offered me for it.

Its not as if its costing you anything

colm_mcm · 12-08-2015 09:18PM

Yep, the fact that you could have bought a new pulsar with €4000 off a few weeks ago won't help either.

I'd say he won it in winning streak or something and probably wants a nice car instead

Which is mad because can't you take the value of the car instead on shows like that?

Pat kenny gave one away in June on utv

Fcuk that he'd want to be knocking 3-4k Euro of that car you'd probably buy a demo with the same mileage for about that and a brand new one straight for less than he's looking for that. It's along way of brand new if he's driving it around everyday. People are just gready he's probably upset that he's even dropped 500 of list price.

That is true as the saying goes it depreciates as soon as you drive it off the fore court.

colm_mcm · 12-08-2015 11:25PM

That's the value the UTV show said it had.
I'd be surprised if you couldn't get €2,500 off a new one.

Drove a petrol as a rental a few weeks ago and actually really liked it. Very well specced, very peppy petrol engine, comfy seats and responsive handling.

Good cars I reckon.
