This looks like it could be a pretty decent buy for around a grand. NCT till 2020, tax till the end of the year and it is seemingly well enough sorted for daily/regular use

€1250

That's as rough as a badgers arse but you can't argue with the asking price. I'd say the seller would take a grand for it.

Almighty cheap work horse!

Yeah...

Imagine if all shock absorbers are gone in it, it would still have passed.

Better deal here for a RR/Bentley, bit more expensive at €7,750 but has an NCT for 18 months. Needs to have the seats pampered and probably a few other small bits, but you can run this car for less money than a new Golf for 1-2 years.

I love all bubble cars, had an Isetta years ago. Irish manufacture gives this Heinkel added appeal. Reg checks out as 1960. Price is very fair based on international prices.

That's a steal, MrCostington!

"open to reasonable offers" I'd say EUR350 would take it. Current NCT and all. Car has driven to the moon and some of the way back, I like it!

This won't be there long, someone grab a bargain quick.

Yes, I put that into the title just for you, we know you love your NCTs!

Agreed a bargain, only caveat the ad says something about bodywork, may just be dull paint. Well worth a look if in the market for one. Hard to believe such a modern car is 29 years old!

No love for the NCT, but all cars registered after 31/12/1979 need to have one and most cars for sale on DD don't seem to have one. Only in Ireland would you come across a shambles like that.

well I mean you are a stickler for the NCT, and rightly so.

I was looking at a car last week that was used as a daily, no NCT, owner said he didn't think it needed it, being over 30. It really makes one suspicious, and assume it failed on something major and hence trying to off load car. And of course it's the law, and is a safety check after all. And, the insurance insist on it, so these people are effectively driving uninsured, I'd say.

But anyway, happy St Patricks Day!

You'd nearly buy that Toyota just to bring it over 300,000 miles. Makes you wonder why the owner doesn't do that

My dad did that 2 years ago with a 99 Toyota. Between doing a deal to trade it and actually handing it over, he clicked it over the mark. https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=103259240

Decent price for a manual Scimitar needing a small bit of TLC (if you're not overly concerned with cosmetics)

Would love to give one of these a try some day

Don't want to start a new thread.
Can anyone make any sense of this?

It's a 93 motor. Donedeal down. Can't link to it.
