The Auris that followed them wouldn't hold a candle to them. I had a 04' Corolla 1.4 petrol h/b back in the day and a 09' 1.4 petrol Auris. Auris felt flimsy and lower grade compared to the Corolla. It felt lethargic and was much less economical also. It was rust in the main that killed the Corolla in the end. It was a UK import, that was imported in, in 2008.

Just short of 100k on the clock, with some tax. Don't know what kind of reputation 1.4l is like. "One family owned". €1550 - a handsome car.

It won't excite anyone, not very powerful, and van be thirsty is fully loaded, but they are OK. Spacious enough inside, and easy insured which makes them a good starter car for someone.

It breaks my heart seeing the rust ruining ours. The engine is superb and will go forever I reckon.

Big time.
Nice colour too.
One of the best finds on here in a good while.

That 308 is terrible. Within 60 seconds I figured the flywheel was wobbling, a bit later found 4th gear knackered and, after the immediate u-turn, the clutch is worn.

None of this admitted by seller.

Everything about it was dodge from the moment I met the guy, but I stuck it out to see how bad it could get. I wasnt disappointed.

It's an €800 auction fixer upper. At least they werent off the mark on asking.

Got a knock around car for a year a 07-Honda Accord 2ltr petrol vtec which I paid 1100 euro around 11 months ago as a run around. NCT is up in July. Tax is 710 for the year.

Current Issues:
Needs a new alternator as draining battery and can see lights flickering sometimes when driving.
Right electric power window button doesn't work.
Wiper motor is gone in front. Needs replacement.
Huge rip in front seat.
God knows whatever else if i bring to NCT

Should I just stick up online for 500 or is there somewhere i can bring for a couple of hundred that will pay me for the car?

I have no interest in putting any money into it. I'm going for a 2010 corolla so just wondering any advice on the honda?

Love these Avensis.

Seen this one around, very clean example, daily driver, small bit of lacquer peel on the bonnet is the only negative I've seen on it.

That's dreamer money I bought a 01 back in 2012 for 600 quid from Colm!

Not in the current market...... Fire on a set of TSW Stealths and Bosch lowering springs and you'll get some young buck to buy it.

Might be a bit strong, but not dreamer money I think. I've seen it around as I say, seems very straight, and prices for these are strong, as is posted above I've also seen young lads work these tarting them up of late, so there is a market for these.
These late model Avensis are a fine machine on the road, easy enough ran, and mechanically sound.

I was a bit surprised when I asked you how much! The beauty of that car was when I crashed it(not my fault) insurance valued it at €2500 and offered me the car for €200 scrap value and I had it fixed for €700..:P

I was told in no uncertain terms that I had too many cars around the house. I think I had a 323, Avensis and Jag at that point as well as her car, so it had to go!

If you weigh it in for scrap you'll be lucky to get €100 for it. There's next to no money in scrapping a car.

If you can tolerate silly offers you could put it on Donedeal or adverts for €500 and see if you get any bites

Going to look at this for myself hopefully tomorrow. no current nct not sure if it has an extension, needs few jobs for re-test biggest concern emissions fail says excessive smoke?

Its a 1l petrol never saw that fail attached to a petrol car before!

selectamatic · 12-04-2021 11:41pm

Ideal and perhaps plausible reason might be the car being not next not near operating temp on a cold morning maybe.

That or it's f*cked and not worth €80

But the rest of that fail sheet screams someone that hasn't a notion about bringing a car for a test so anything is possible.

bazz26 · 12-04-2021 11:58pm

Could be burning oil.

....... if it got it!

I'd be worried about how well that's been looked after, if it was just fvcked into the test center without even removing the hub caps. As said, possibly someone without one motion about keeping a car. It's one thing just testing and seeing what needed to be done, but it doesn't give much confidence in how well it was serviced or looked after beforehand.

Probably a bit above the bageromics threshold, but are these any good?
I intend using it for house renovation and Ikea trips. Can the seats be taken out?

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/2008-mitsubishi-grandis-diesel-7-seater-new-nct/27491296

Or keeping it more bangeromics , would this 09 S Max be better?

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/09-ford-s-max-1-8-tdci-zetec-model-nct-9-21/27704900

or the Galaxy
https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/2008-ford-galaxy-1-8-diesel-new-nct-tax/27507919

Or this 08 Scenic for 1,150 , but the seller might be a car flipper with 360 previous adverts, I'd be dubious he's selling on problem.

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/renault-scenic-08/27772225

Would this newer Scenic be best at 1k more.

I'm seriously considering that 09 Scenic wirh seats taken out. It'll give just as much space while being easier and more comfortable than a van.

Have you ever driven a van? Once you get used to them they're very comfortable to drive, they're designed to be driven. They're also designed for working - load carrying, being horsed about etc. If you're talking about doing any serious kind of work on the house it's a far better option. There's a reason why your plumber doesn't show up at the gate in a Renault Scenic with the seats down.

If you need a 7 seater that you can occasionally put a wardrobe or something in the back of have at it - otherwise van all the way.

Yep drove a transit a few years back and it was very comfortable. The seating position is like on a chair with your legs down on pedals unlike my current car with Recarro bucket seats where your so low and your legs stretched out in front of you not comfortable for long drives at all.
