I think that Polo is justabanger rather than bangernomics. There's definitely better cars to be had handy enough for that money! Altho if it really is driving as well as they make out and it isn't guzzling oil it would be alright.

I'd be driving it several times through the muddiest puddle

Haha, you're right - a few laps of the nearest quarry would do it no harm!

Another one for the brave. Full leather, Italian V6 , Italian electrics too though. Gotta be cheap ( future classic ) fun if you got it around 500 quid .

My favorite Bangernomics yet! I'd planned spending bigger money on a 03ish Passat but I couldn't be happier with this. Averaged 51 mpg over the weekend, and that was a mostly town driving!

Bought it with two months tax and 8 months test.

Poland called - they want their sense of style back. :pac: just kiddin ya boyo'... good luck with the car!

Is that the Ladies View carpark heading up to Molls Gap from Killarney? Previous owner must have been going slower than a geriatric tourist nun with the suspension set that low!

I love that - a really beautiful car with a cracker of an engine.

I took those photos! And bar one big lump in the middle of the road that I had to swerve out onto the other side of the road, it was fine! Small bit of rubbing on the back but nothing major!

And after I posted it I knew I'd see it in Obnoxious parking :P

Can I put my own bangernomic car on here?

<snip - nope!>

Pictures will really help your sale! No pictures will eliminate any chances of a sale!

Nope. If you want to sell your car, use the sister site Adverts.ie. Signing up to sell your stuff or pimp your business should/will result in a ban.

Put it on Adverts, put a link in your signature, post lots (of useful posts) and then loads of people will see the link.

i know this isn't a 7 Series or an S-Class or the likes, but new clutch and new tyres just fitted and a cd player for that little touch of luxury :P, just change the oil in this and it could potentially go on forever.

proper bangernomics budget motoring

Not very bangernomics, no NCT or Tax & it has 110k on the clock. Would'nt imagine that wee engine has too much left in it.

Plenty of better options out there for the €500 mark, with nct &/or tax!

160 a year for tax, i'd be feeling cocky that car would pass an NCT with little to no work and those engines has proven themselves well capable of 200k miles.

i reckon for motoring on a tight budget you wouldn't get much better than that

Total sh!t box but its 800 quid , its got a test for a year 8 months and its 2004. Right so its a bit rough to say the least and it has a Rover badge on the front of it ( they should have just left the Tata badge to give it some cred ) but c'mon its a 7 year old car for next to nothing. Drive it for 3 years and sell it for ..... eh ...... 800 quid

It's too young to replace it for another piece of sh1t under the scrappage scheme

Just thought I'd give ye my thousand mile bangernomics report.

I've replaced the airflow and I haven't serviced it, yet. I just put in 20 euros of fuel at 148.9 (In Dublin) and drove 153.9 miles with it! That's more than twice the mpg I was getting out of the petrol Golf, and that's including having 18" wheels on it and the most of a spare set of an interior in the boot. Have to say I'm loving it, and it has not missed one single beat, there's no smoke and it has not burned one single drop of oil in the thousand miles I've drove it.

Bangernomics FTW

How much did you pay for the Golf?

With a dark blue bonnet, two months tax and eight months test it's standing me alot less than our bangernomics budget (Minus my wheels, seats, steering wheel etc. of course)

:eek: A grand?? I met him a few months back outside a chinese (fairly sure he had Mparrells on it them) but my god it was a lovely car... If I could pull a grand out of me arse at all...

That 5 is a nice looking car but from the description it has body work issues. Getting peeling lacquer sorted out along with rust, replacing the bushings on the front doesn't add up to a bargain really. No Nct either would put me off alot. You will probably spend more then a grand sorting it out like along with any other issues it may have. Not really a bargain imo.

My thoughts exactly. Lovely looking motor though and the 525 has decent poke too.
