1 owner Mk3 Gooner estate with tax til August and test til September, €1100

Thoroughly respectable car for the not a lot of money. Cheeky three figure offer might even drive it away

New shape Jazz/Fit automatic with 12 months test for €1900

€180 tax for the year and all. You'd still pay close to this for a decent old shape example.

That's a facelift old shape, but still

Never have and hopefully never will need a 7 seater but might be of interest to someone

Honda Accord 2009

I might have a look at this and try and get it down to around 2k as it seems to be up for sale for a while. Does anyone have any insight on what I should look for in this Accord?

Talk to the owner but based on the pics something doesn't feel right about that car. Two shades of silver to start with on the driver side and only 7k km done since November 2019. Reg number is hidden but readable on the NCT cert if you want to do some reg checks.

In the 4th pic, The passenger side bumper doesn't seem attached to the wing. The wheel arch gap on front drivers side is unusual

Thanks everyone, I have found the same car on an older Done Deal ad

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/2009-honda-accord/27458269

There are a few different pictures here.

I messaged the owner and she said price negotiable and it needs a new heater plug (warning light on) but otherwise driving fine. I haven't asked about the drivers door yet.

Is the car worth pursuing?

No.

Thanks, pity as I like the Accords. The search goes on.

Cracked exhaust manifold seems to be common you'll notice while stopped with the heater fan running, the usual clutch and flywheel maladies, they're a very comfortable car to travel in.

Exhaust Manifold is not an issue on the I-DTEC, the manifold is one piece unlike the I-CTDI N22 which had a two piece welded version.

Drivers door is a different shade to the rest of the car.

Bumpers looking wrong shade is normal on those Accords.

I wasn't referring to the paint, it was the attachment of the bumper to the passenger wing that is off especially in the latest advert.

Thanks for highlighting, bought this today, in immaculate condition not as much as a speck of dirt inside, well minded, the woman in almost tears seeing it going. Drives like a dream for a car that age.

You don't see many of them about.!

Is the gearbox a cvt or a mmt in those

If you had a budget of €2k for a saloon/estate what would you go for. Or is it a case by case basis at that age of car?

Case by case really. They’re hard to find though.

Went and viewed this and bought it for €350
1.4 tdi nct'd until jan 2022. Had a new clutch last year, 4 new tyres. Needed a good clean and will need a service and drop links but nothing major. Cheap motoring

Grand job. One month of tax left; previous owner probably didn't want to pay any more tax on it. But at least you don't have to worry about the NCT for a while.
