yep, dunno, kinda think its growing on me....(the spoiler that is)




But here's the one ya really, really want!:D

alias no.9

Either way the seller is a liar, the 1.8t-spark will never be economical in a 156. 5th gear isn't tall enough for motorway cruising and it's too much fun revving the bollix out of them working your way up the gears. I never managed to do better than ~30mpg in nearly 3 years of ownership.

It's an absolute, if economy is a consideration, it's the wrong car. It should never be a head purchase, you'd only end up disappointed.

Pure bangernomics. Modern TDi engine, low mileage what more could you want.

Looks very clean


always liked the felicia

Is that not as Sdi or something? Hardly a 90 bhp Tdi O.o Class value if it is.

This belongs to a friend of mine, a dinger of a car and very comfortable.

I'd imagine its the SDI, still its a right bargain even if it is. The SDI is very reliable

Ah I didn't know that, have no experience of the SDI, only know from the mechanic that the SDI engine is bulletproof

Aye, you learn as you go along. I was offered a 99 Sdi Golf for 350, went up and drove it and it wouldn't go into fifth. Thought I'd get a box handy but supposedly they're different from the tdis, a quick donedeal search showed a few of them forsale cheapily with dodgey boxes!

Bangernomics at its best! A low mileage '02 Vectra with long NCT and some tax for less than a grand. Timing belt done too. Bargain!

Here's an interesting left-field one. A quick car in it's day, looks in decent nick for the price, NCT for a bit...

that advert has been bumped a lot of times, started off a little over a grand i think, it probably won't hand around too long at 350, unless the chassis is rotten.

The asking price is €350 and there's about €200 worth of tax on it. And some NCT left. Jaysus!!!

I remember the Volcane from back in the day - fairly quick too iirc

I'd like it, but I secretly know there's not a hope in hell I'd buy it, hence why I used those words.;)

Back in the day me da got stuck with one of those on a trade in, what i remember was it was a rocket to go! Red, lovely car think he sold it to a father that put his son on his ins policy and was wrote off when going through a flood.

Lovely little things and quite rare (not quite one left in Ireland rare) but to get a good one they're few and far between.

I think those 9-5's are better than some people give them credit for.

Didn't early models have a cooled glove box across the range?

Don't see too many of them in white!
