Aye. But as with many cars in this thread, there is no NCT, so potential minefield. The skeptic in me argues as follows: why offer the car without a test for €1,000? Surely if there's nothing much wrong with it, get it sorted and tested and offer the car for €1,500?

I know it could well be genuine that it is awkward to get the car tested - I'm in a very similar situation myself. But that said, a cheap car without an NCT could be a nice attraction setup just to part a fool from his money...

Tax is the same from 3001cc and up. All 1566/year, doesn't matter how big the engine is or how many cylinders it has.

E39MSport

As the man says your better of being hung for a sheep as a lamb.:) Lovley car and looks well kept. I doubt you would buy it for 2k.

The essence of buying a car and getting a bargain is buying something no one else will go for. I bet if you look back through the 200 pages of this tread you wont find any low milage Golf TDis with decent tax and test.

What you find are
1) Cars with no NCT
2) Cars with big engines
3) Cars damaged or something less than pristine
4) Weird marques

... the essence of bangernomics.

Infairness, 90% of cars have at least some sort of test on them!

true,but it means nothing that a car might be in test.....the clutch could be fcuked in a car with plenty of NCT left on it. So whilst you'd be legal on the road, you'd be on the side of the road.;)

We know, he was simply responding to a comment that said most of the cars in here have NO test

Yes but it also means that you don't have to put a test on it, which is better than buying a car without one, which is better bangernomics.

That sounds a bit narrow. Toyota and Skoda are also largely common.

True. I forgot about toyota. Skoda (and audi) is more or less VW. Skoda is for VW people who want to be different and.....weird. :cool:

Dull & dirty but holy feck thats a lot of car for a grand. Its an old enough yoke though. Cracking bangernomics all the same. It'll do another 95,000 miles easy peasy.

fonecrusher1

Ok this is lower tier bangernomics but it could be a goodin if the mileage is reasonable? Of course the ad has all the info except the most important bit...the mileage.

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/1824404

Are they rubbish?

The "Midnight Club" sticker would make me run a mile and not stop to look back.

Love the Lexus.

Ah c'mon one tiny sticker would put you off a potentially excellent runner? You'd get that for 800 cash i reckon. Well i'd try anyway.:pac:

What would put me off it is the lack of info on mileage. Its probably galactic.

Probably because it is now Nct'd till Oct 2012.
Would be a good buy at €1200-€1500 though;)
