Bangernomics car of the week/day

Ok apologies in advance for including this;- This may not be exactly applicable to this thread but its only 700 quid

I presume these jeeps at this age have more cons than pros. Could it turn out to be an expensive 700 euro?

The 2.5 is the less reliable (timing belt) and more sluggish version of the Pajero. Fairly reliable all the same though if looked after - just the pump seals have a tendancy to go on them which is an annoying job.

Plus it says its a commercial but its on UK plates in the pics so might have the hassle of getting it cleared too.

^^ 2.5 = run

-Needs for nothing except two front wings
-Seller states there are 156k kms on it but the odometer picture shows 139960k miles
-no mention of NCT

It should struggle to make a grand.

I think the ad should read more like:

Average condition and has only been used as a weekend car despite clocking up high mileage which I'm confused about.

This car needs for nothing except 2 front wings and lots of other work.
Everywhere I go I get asked why do I keep it in a condition where it needs two new front wings

It has been checked for error codes only 2 weeks ago to remove all the warning lights and had the mileage adjust hence why I'm confused somewhat*

First to see will ask is this the same car I advertised on Donedeal

May not reflect actual car but sick of dodgy 728's

What the hell is that? Never seen one of those.

Looks like a C3 Audi 100 slowly morphing intp c4 audi 100

Its the Audi V8 (no other name) (1988-1994) the companies first true super saloon (and DTM racer) which was powered by 2 golf GTi engines welded together (so to speak), permanent 4 wheel drive, autobox as standard all the bits you could wish for and as rare as hens teeth.

I doubt it will be coming to Ireland, Mike

Very interesting car and extremely rare, but that one is far from mint. And it will cost more than €2k to get it cleared. And you'll still pay €1,566 tax for another 11 years before it will go on classic tax

Why if it hadn't been for those pesky public servants....!

A lot of money for just two months of fun. The cynic in me suspects there's a reason your man didn't get it NCTd before the cut off date to give it a nice 26 month NCT...

The Nct means little in terms of mechanical integrity, its not the be all and end all. The UK MOT inspires more confidence actually imho.

Automatics are awesome.

If that's the INVECS II gearbox out of the FTO then it'll be great for an automatic. learns your driving style and adjusts the smoothness/aggression of gearshifts accordingly. also has Tipronic mode.

retrofit paddle shifters would be an option then

Taxed for 5 1/2 months, €500 back for it in December and it was more or less free driving.

If it was'nt fot the fact that there's currently a project Saab in the front garden, a starlet being driven by my mate so to have somewhere to store it and a bid just put on a VW camper , I'd be buying this. Along with my daily drive plus the wifes car there'd be just nowhere to put it nevermind the fact she'd kill me Man I'd love that yoke.
