It's my daily/project/track car!

So far it's working, like 27k miles since january. Plenty of work done to it but all PM, it drives so good, performs so great on track and does everything a daily needs to do for me!

Total win at €1k!

It was money well spent. It's great you like it so much I think theres always that chance of having a kind of honeymoon period with any car you buy. You know love it when buying it and the first short while then have little interest in it.

I see you're taking the comparison to a Tiida to heart then? :pac:

Corolla had to go as soon as I heard that :pac:

Your first car is always the hardest to sell. After that you'll spiral and be changing them every 6 months :pac:

What are you thinking of getting as a replacement ?

I put it up on sunday afternoon and this guy was the first to come see it.. I didnt think it would go so fast!
I have my eye on one or two things but not too sure yet.. I'll sort something out over the next week or two

All will be revealed shortly

.. as soon as I actually find something decent!

Some of the motorists I came across on the road this evening shouldn't be allowed out in any type of bad weather! Braking for no reason, going exceptionally slow etc.

The RSA should send out a statement saying if you arent a good driver, its probably best you stay in until the rain clears!

Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime · 11-11-2015 12:19AM

Thinking of this car a lot.

Can't find anything on the car or seller but looks alright

I love mine so much, I bought a second :pac: Being my first own car I don't think I could actually sell my 525!

I assume you know it's a UK car. UK reg number would tell a lot.

I have €5 off a motorcheck report code if you want it.

Didnt see that (mobile sites don't give me a lot of info)

I wonder is there a way to find the uk reg without paying for it. If it was imported recently then it's very cheap because they are quite expensive over there.

Or is it a cat D judging by the front bumper

colm_mcm · 11-11-2015 12:48AM

You could always message the seller and ask.
I don't know of any way to get that info for free

I'd say it's in a while as reg number is quite low. (As in it isn't one of the silly high ones)

4 owners in Ireland.

With that reg i didn't expect it to be an import at all but i might just drop down have a look at it and the log book to get all the info and work from there. No harm in looking.

I just thought the price was off considering what others are going for

It's valid for only one time, right?

colm_mcm · 11-11-2015 01:29AM

Yep. Anyone here that wants it can have it.

Mister Jingles · 11-11-2015 01:31AM

Anyone here know anything about this car ? It's been up for sale for a very long time.

colm_mcm · 11-11-2015 01:33AM

Ad removed?

Mister Jingles · 11-11-2015 01:37AM

It was there two minutes ago. Very strange.

It's was the blue ST200 from Cork.

colm_mcm · 11-11-2015 01:41AM

Didn't someone on here have one of those?

Mister Jingles · 11-11-2015 01:45AM

Corktina, but his was a D reg, the one in the link is a C reg.

Very odd that the ad just disappeared after I posted it.

Here's a picture from the ad I just found online.

Noccy_Mondy · 11-11-2015 01:51AM

That's on there an age. Was Corktinas not a mk3?

Mister Jingles · 11-11-2015 01:56AM

Nah, I just after seen his when I tried to google the ad in question, the Adverts ad for his one is still online.

I've no insterst in it, just curious. Every once in a while I type "Ford v6" into donedeal and it always appeared.

Seems I was right again, bad accident on the m50 this morning. Not sure what the solution is, more enforcement of the rules of the road, retesting?

Mar4ix · 11-11-2015 10:01AM

Usual 10 min journey turns in to 1 hr and 15 min, and stil on halfway, between porterstown and phoenix park. As cars move every 10 min, i am switching off engine. Fyking fantastic,over an hour out of work and continuous .

That's pretty bad, nothing you can do about it it seems

Really tempted leave car on side of road and walk to work.

Mar4ix · 11-11-2015 10:43AM

While sitting in traffic, discovered that even if a little bit window is open, rain manages get in to it. So went in to ebay, and ordered wind deflectors. Traffic is costly... Lol 45 e delivered

Mar4ix · 11-11-2015 10:57AM

Finally in work, regular 10-15 min in journey turned in to 2 hours. Good point, managed get to the break time

R.O.R · 11-11-2015 11:09AM

Lucky you. I'm in the car over 3 hours now, and at this rate there's still another hour at least.

Not quite sure where I am either so no option but to follow the Nav.
