And the winner of dreamer of the year is... Part 2!

Ah thats just copy and paste stuff to be fair, it's in amost of their ads - this car doesnt have: ebd, fog lamps, sunroof, centre armrest, isofix, fog lamps or an active braking system.

who knows what its worth tbh, but I doubt it's anywhere near 24k...

Wibbs · 05-05-2021 3:33pm

That's an example of how spending a load of cash to make a personal car will lose them cash when they come to sell it. It's a very narrow use track car. It couldn't really be raced in any class I know of? And road use would be impossible without spending even more cash to undo what has been done and any collectability for enthusiasts is gone with all the original parts in landfill. And it's not the collectable version anyway.

I love it but not at 24k. Jaysus.

And who the hell is putting a child in the back of that?

If whoever built that car didn't abuse the absolute heart and soul out of it then they should be ashamed of themselves

Oh god yeah, I know how I'd drive it which is why I'd be wary.

I know it's sold, but how stunning is this Lancer Evolution VI. It only has (at time of listing) 7,200 miles from new.

Why is it in the dreamer thread?

Some machine. I had the same steering wheel and centre dash controls in a Mitsi I owned a fair few years ago. I suppose I could say I owned a small fraction of a evo. :pac:

My family had a 92 pajero back in the day (far from new at the time), incredibly good car

Not quite sure about this particular example though

Needs a full interior and paint job after rust correction such as panels etc ... Engine knackered also I'd say....

What planet are these morons on.

Wibbs · 06-05-2021 9:01am

Rust correction is a very gentlemanly way to put it P.

I really don't know what planet these eejits are on, but remember if 100 is an average IQ you have as many below that line as you have above it. Maybe they're buying and selling to each other in some alternative universe economy.

Again what staggers me is how thick/lazy some sellers are. That same Pajero if removed from it's weedy grave, hit with a powerwasher, gone around the interior with a rag, stick the "mint" seats back in and parked and photographed against a neutral background would start to look like a good buy at that money and would probably sell very quickly. Or maybe it will sell anyway?

06-05-2021 11:27am

That pajero is hilarious. Some people really are deluded. I can imagine that disintegrating if moved..

CianRyan · 06-05-2021 11:41am

Having watched the Juicebox Vlogs, I know it probably can be saved but I really don't think it needs to be.

colm_mcm · 06-05-2021 12:25pm

I had a Shogun like that only in 2.8 diesel. Think that spec is called Diamond Option Pack.

FWIW I sold mine in running order and in lovely condition for around that price 10 years ago.

The cynic in me says that the tax book is probably more valuable than the vehicle, given that it’s nearing 30 years old.

E36Ross · 06-05-2021 1:29pm

It's actually fairly rare as it's an Irish Pajero not a Jap import or UK Shogun.

And the 3.0 V6 makes it even more rarer, That'd be a "Super Exceed" spec on a JDM Pajero but not sure what they called them here.

They rot badly in the rear archs and the rear chassis legs so I wouldn't hold much hope if its been there a while!

That last line is absolutely hilarious and probably hilariously true.

That thing is pure nightmare fuel. It'll never be right again.

Speedline · 08-05-2021 12:32pm

If it was a mk2 escort he'd be eaten alive for it for multiples of that price. It's one for the brave but its saveable.

The transmission is the weak point on those cars BTW.

Bargain for the €950 ish a year saving on tax lol

"Cheap tax" is like the Irish version of "barn find"

Turbolounge · 08-05-2021 6:49pm

Are you sure he didn't put in an extra "0" by accident on this price, because a decent one like that would sell for around that much money (and that one is on UK plates anyway)

I posted that a few days ago but not in this thread mind you but I do agree with you it is not worth any where near that. He will not sell that unless he drops the price significantly.

I hate that kind of BS. Just put in the price you want for the car. Just put in the price you want for the car even if it is away of the charts. The market will decide after that its worth or even if its worth calling you.

Titzon Toast · 09-05-2021 10:35am

I spotted that too, but just put the price in as it should be so it'll fit in where it should when people put on filters. Plenty more POA and €1,234 crap on Donedeal too.

Do any of you know the seller he blocked me for asking if he had more than 5 pictures and I asked him were the BBS reps hard to focus in

I also asked him what engine and he delete most of my questions and called me a time waster. What a dick head!!

I have perfect feedback going back 10yrs he has zero...

Am I missing something? I thought the MK1 Golfs stopped being made in the mid 80s? That car has a 91 reg?

Its a stunning car in fairness, I've no idea what its actually worth. Just one thing, the person that will buy that will be a collector. Collectors want originality, and I'd hope he still has the original sound system for it and that no extra holes had to be made to fit it. He should have tidied up the wires coming from the speakers in the boot pic.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 10-05-2021 12:57pm

Decent spec infariness but i agree hes asking mad money.
No nct, car was originally red and now black but needs more work to make it "mint" which to me screams, the paint is in s**t and needs a full respray. Usually the case but not always. :pac:

Wibbs · 10-05-2021 4:18pm

And again shíte pics that tell any potential buyer feck all. No interior shots, no under bonnet engine shots. Them looking cleaner than average would get more interest. I always think either a) seller hasn't a blind clue, or b) interior and under the bonnet looks grim.

And the winner of dreamer of the year is... Part 2!
