    I’ve held a PSV insurance for 12 years and being in the industry for the same amount of time, I’ve never come across a psv policy that doesn’t allow for SDP on the policy.

    If that hackney driver wanted to he could charge his family €0.01 per trip and be Legal, that said i think the story is the work of fiction.

    There was a story of a taxi driver been caught bringing his children to school and using the bus lanes, when stopped he had the meter on, when questioned by the gardai why his meter was on he said he was charging the wife to drop the kids into school. If he wasn’t charging the wife he could of been done for improper use of a bus lane and roadtax.

    more barge

    and less Marge.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,381 ✭✭✭KevRossi


    More Barge???

    Nice colour scheme, 6 months test and over €500 of tax on it, which makes the €6000 asking a bit more bearable. Also falls into the €1200 tax bracket.

    He used his wife's car for sdp use, the hackney for work only. I've been in the psv industry since 1997, not that has anything to do with it. I met him while driving his wife's car and that's what he told me, maybe I should have asked to see the policy because some gobshoite on boards doesn't believe me...

    I could only use my taxi for taxi work and my private car for private use, but that’s not what you said, you said that he’s only insured for to drive it as a hackney without social or domestic cover. Your wrong and making up stories, but don’t start mouthing off because you’ve been found out spoofing.

    Jesus, it's like dealing with a zombie. Obviously I'm going to have to spell it out line by line how the conversation went. He was sitting in his wife's car, I asked him was he sparing the new car? He'd just changed his hackney for quite a nice machine. His answer to me was I can't use it for doing the shopping etc. Liberty don't allow it since the latest renewal.

    I’ve had 4 policy’s over the last few years with liberty the last one renewed in 2019, social domestic use was always part of the policy as well as hire and reward.

    No zombie, your just getting caught out with your wrong interpretations of another mans insurance policy.

    CL500. NCT 01/21 €3950
    Is it my imagination or does the colour of the bodywork change from the B Pillar back?

    A very rough looking W221

    https://www.donedeal.ie/view/26016823

    Pros; LWB, Wooden steering wheel.

    Cons; no nct, eml on, looks like it’s sitting down on the n/s/f? High mileage.

    €3999.

    Eyes very wide open.

    Yea if they all looked equally aged, but the drivers seat is saggier than LS430s I've seen with 200k


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,381 ✭✭✭KevRossi


    I don't know the dealer, but there should be some warranty on this. I think the colour looks alright in the photos, it's a bit different to the usual silver/grey/black on XJ's. Nice interior combo of the darker wood and light leather.

    12 months NCT for €5,900

    That’s a smashing looking motor. Have a similar colour combo on my E class and it looks very well. As you said, stands out in the sea of grey and black

    That's a lovely XJ. Looks immaculate in the pics. Credit to its owner.

    A friend as a navy with cream and piped navy leather. Lovely car also. He was considering selling it but I told him he's mad. Store it somewhere but hold it. It had one previous owner that kept every single document and receipt for it. He won't get another like it

    There’s a 90 thousand mile example of what the seat should look like albeit a lhd

    Is there really much of a difference?
    Presumably you don't think the cable is a huge dirty crease/split?

    One driver could be 20 stone, the other a 12 stoner or less. Loads of variable........ I'd not assume the thing is clocked or anything based on seat pictures.

    Seats on my RX400, 290,000 Km. I'm 100 kg and have put the last 50,000 Km on it, bought it off a guy who weighed about 80kg. No noticeable deterioration in the cushion firmness either.

    But the car as a whole is absolutely rock solid after 14 years.

    I’ve sold a few of them over the years so am familiar with how the seat looks.
    The passenger seat on the rhd has more wear than the drivers seat on the lhd.

    Jeez that Jag XJ6 is a beaut.

    I've always loved that shape of Jag. The supercharged 4.0 would be my weapon of choice if I had the cash.

    So you reckon the 2004 with 90k is clocked or just the seats are in bad state or what?
