BANGERNOMICS (sub2k) of the week/day Part 6

2ndcoming · 20-04-2021 10:40am

It's a Fit so it looks like a Jazz but very few parts will be the same.

Kilboor · 20-04-2021 1:21pm

7 seater 2006 S-Max with NCT to August for 1k:

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

johntune · 20-04-2021 1:31pm

Honda Accord 2009

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/honda-acccord/27644275

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.

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.

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

colm_mcm · 20-04-2021 3:08pm

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

Bumpers looking wrong shade is normal on those Accords.

johntune · 20-04-2021 3:19pm

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?

colm_mcm · 20-04-2021 3:26pm

No.

I wouldn’t buy one unless it was exceptional and had proof of being minded.

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.

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?

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.

Oh yeah, for sure. The wheel looks to be in the wrong place even!

I was more talking about the rear bumper when it looks like it’s 2 different colours.

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.

Indoor Megane, claimed small mileage.

Doublebusy · 24-04-2021 1:12am

@yamaha4life you got to let us know the mpg on that or klms to a €10 juice - whatever way you want to do it

I reset the obc when i put €20 in and averaged 60mpg on the drive home, i was surprised at that as the roads were fairly hilly/twisty roads lot of slowing down and speeding up.I didn't really expect much performance wise being 1.4tdi but it's nippy enough but I wouldn't go as far as to say its quick!

I Haven't got a completely true reading for you yet because trying not to drive much until i have it serviced up so still using her car! The parts are estimated delivery 04/05 free delivery is why they take so long!

Driving style has a big impact on mpg though. as the mrs octavia average's 47ish when she drives. if i drive the same trip it will be either 60mpg or just shy of it.

85000 miles

II wouldn’t take the seller too seriously, he says it’s a top spec model too, despite it being the basic Royale model.

These Megane II are so undesirable, it’s a €1000 car at best. €2k is bonkers for it.

Toyotafanboi · 24-04-2021 9:17am

Yeah, picked up one around this time last year for my sister, a tidy 2008 diesel hatchback in black with a pan roof, sensible mileage for €900 iirc. €1950 is €1k overpriced even given it's condition. It does look tidy and well presented though, it could be a nice but, for less.

colm_mcm · 24-04-2021 9:23am

You always know a good one by the passenger side rear wheelarch condition.

bazz26 · 24-04-2021 11:11am

That Mk2 Megane is way over priced. I know this technically doesn't qualify for this thread but I'd rather spend a little more on this Mk3 that is a year younger and a much more reliable model. The right set of aftermarket alloy wheels would make it a very smart looking car:

Agreed. Material seats, and the steering wheel looks like it has no buttons on it. But I'm sure someone will buy it purely because it says so :rolleyes:

Nice honest ad, a bit on the high side price wise but it should sell easily enough.

Toyotafanboi · 25-04-2021 12:32pm

I dont think the price is too bad at all.

It's a 12 year old Astra with an engine management light that comes intermittently. A competent mechanic would have programmed out the egr.
These generation Astras aren't known for their reliability or desirability, there's issues with head gaskets too.

Toyotafanboi · 25-04-2021 1:07pm

I'm not a condoner of EGR blanking but i dont think it matters a whole lot with that car.

Well written as by what i'd expect is a long term owner, the car looks well presented and in good condition inside and out, loads of tax and NCT, not intergalactic mileage, small diesel engine and driving fine.

€1500 or nearest offer, it's not criminal, specially for an 09.

A competent mechanic would have drilled a hole in the centre of the blanking plate, Thats usually enough to satisfy the ECU.

Otherwise, at this stage they are no more prone to "issues" than any other car out there at the price/age.

KevRossi · 25-04-2021 7:29pm

A bit different this one; if anyone is looking for, or knows someone looking for, a wheelchair accessible car then this one has a new NCT and less than 100,000 km on it. It was doing about 2,000 km per year before COVID, so could be a car that's left outside a house for when the children come to take the owner out and about. Quirky looks, quirky colour included. I could have done with this a few years ago.

2003 Multipla, 1.6 petrol, NCT 10/21

Good find that Fiat. Just tested, you can test it again and get full year test soon.

The €750 tax kills that to the point where it’s worth less than an 07 or early 08 on the cc based tax IMO.

I think it’s a €1500 car really.

We had one from new, a 2007 1.6l LX. It was almost a nice car but that spec was miserable in ways. And the engine just revved, drank petrol and never did anything but else.

I always hated it however as when my dad brought me along to look it over we test drove a 2l liter diesel Ghia and he loved it. Felt like a roacket ship compare with our '99 Avensis. Arrived home a few weeks later with the LX...........

Iseedeadpixels · 26-04-2021 12:11pm

Is the 1.6 Mondeo engine as boring as the 1.6 Focus engine?
