Looks nice but is it €4k nice?

Toyotafanboi · 18-01-2021 9:09pm

I was going to say it definitely isn't next nor nead councours because it probably didn't leave the factory eith that much rust, but then again.

I like them and i can see why they are coming back to being cool but i don't know if it's worth actual money yet. Maybe in another 5 years.

What do you reckon yourself Duke?

Tzardine · 18-01-2021 9:22pm

I gave just €500 a few months ago for a very mint 3 door. Same engine, same mileage, albeit not a ghia, and totally rust free, not one spec on it. Cost me another 50 quid to fix the heater and electric window and it has a clean NCT.

I am doing a full refurbishment on it, its just parked in the shed untill the weather gets a bit nicer.

These Fiestas are not commanding anything near 4k yet, no matter how clean or concourse they are. There are a few advertised at the moment for silly money. They are just not quite there yet.

Duke O Smiley · 18-01-2021 9:23pm

Just noticed it's automatic, I don't know if that adds or takes away from it (or does anything at all for the value) but either way I too would be of the opinion that people probably aren't paying into four figures for them yet.

Compare it to this one that we had a few months ago and it doesn't seem too bad. I'd definitely try to find another grand somewhere for the nicer Ghia example if I was buying.

Nice low mileage but hardly worth €3k?

I haven't driven one of those Fiestas in so long, I'd like a shot in one again. For a small car its nicely kitted out too, fogs, alloys, wood dash and even electric mirrors.

Funnily enough, I think it (the Ghia one) is being sold by my old metal work teacher from school :pac:

Tzardine · 18-01-2021 9:29pm

Just noticed that red one has had over a grand knocked off the asking price since it was last posted on the thread.

Toyotafanboi · 18-01-2021 9:35pm

Whatever about the 98 one being worth 4k, the 97 still isn't worth 2k, it's just not fresh enough. I know i've ranted about it before but it's missing it's rear wiper arm, it's roof whip, spurious hub caps, had a bit of bodywork, i'd at least want him to straighten up the mat in the drivers footwell for the photos if he's going to **** me for 2 grand for that yoke.

wotzgoingon · 18-01-2021 9:38pm

Have both those Fiesta's got different engines. One's down as a 1.3 and the other 1.2

I know they came with a old 1.3 lump and then a newer 1.25 but I do not know when or what year etc.. they changed over.

PsychoPete · 18-01-2021 9:38pm

Have a bit of a soft spot for those but they are a long way off a 4k asking price

Tzardine · 18-01-2021 9:41pm

The €4k ghia one is the 1.25 zetec, the other one is a 1.3 pushrod.

Toyotafanboi · 18-01-2021 9:47pm

Hard to know what to want there, the 1.25 is nice but the pushrod is the pushrod, not as zippy but has it's own bit of character to it.

Tzardine · 18-01-2021 10:04pm

Yeah, its hard to pick between them. Logic would say that you go for the Zetec every time, but the pushrod had a lot of character, and was of course famously reliable even when treated harshly.

Tbh you can't go wrong with either engine. It was a great platform and they are good craic to drive regardless of which lump you have.

I will eventually pick up a Zetec S at some point. Had a spin in one years back, the 1.6 Sigma is a peach.

That rx8 is the 5 speed. The one to get is the 6 speed, it has more ponies and revs to 10k

wotzgoingon · 18-01-2021 10:11pm

That Civic doesn't even have a NCT. Needs new exhaust and a seat belt and maybe something else I just quickly proof read the ad so may have missed something.

The one for sale either has a custom ECU or a stock re-writable one as it says in the ad it has a custom map so may rev that high as well and has higher power output than the car had when stock.

Are you looking at the wrong car ? Honest question.

No fast and the furious vibes off it at all.

Recently? I thought they would be making a lot more than that but wouldn't be too in tune with the price of them. The only other fast Clio I see on Donedeal of that phase model is a 2003 172 Cup in Antrim asking £8,950 STG.

Bought it privately, my mate bought a black one 2 years ago for 2.5k from a dealer though.

edit - i know this is england, but anything more than 3k is dreamer money in my opinion

Looks like it would be snapped up, seat belts look a bit loose and there are a few bits to tidy up, but you could make a really nice car out of it.

Duke O Smiley · 20-01-2021 1:22pm

I remember Mad Mike of this parish had an absolute mint Cinq sporting in red with 15k miles for about the same money as that silver one a few years ago.

W123-80's · 20-01-2021 1:46pm

Even if mileage is legit I can't see how this is worth any more than half the asking.
Could be wrong, horses for courses etc

I hate when sellers say taxed to February when it expires in January.. A lot can happen in 4 years before she gets to the magic 30th birthday. Was the 1.8 UK only? I thought Irish ones were either 1.6 or 2 litre.

Toyotafanboi · 20-01-2021 2:21pm

I think the Carina price is sensible enough, no? Wouldn't be a terrible buy for €2k if you are into that kind of thing.

Ya, to be honest, as I said in my original post it's probably a horses for courses scenario.
Having thought about it, its splitting hairs or in the case of this car, hundreds, as opposed to thousands.
I suppose, in hindsight, if it checks out from a mileage perspective, someone has suitable storage and the horn for a tidy Carina its not the worst buy!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that!

I was thinking pretty much the same. Love it, hate it or indifferent it would surely command a good wedge of that asking price. Its seems pretty basic for a UK import Carina and a looks to have a few battle scars. The Mark 1 Avensis rims are hardly period but it is a 90's Toyota that ain't insanely off vintage tax, whether you agree with the whole craze or not. It shouldn't be making the thread in my opinion.

€12,345, €1,234, €123 etc seems to be the random default price that is input on Donedeal when the seller is trying to be coy and secretive about it all. You would see that using these prices seems to be rife for those selling agricultural tractors and machinery and plant.

I would think again in this case its not the actual price of the car but guessing you are right in that he does want too much for it, just testing the water blah blah blah

Edit: After seen davycc's post maybe €2.5k is a more reasonable asking price? Isn't? Seller would fair better to input his correct asking price alright though....its all a bit stupid if he's a serious seller.
