Bangernomics car of the week/day

I'm very tempted to get that car. I really don't have room though!

Just a dealer trying to get out of the 3 months engine and box warranty.

BlackWizard · 27-06-2011 2:30pm

Is he allowed do that?

Plenty do. It's like trade selling to the public, not really permissable as far as I know. Years back a garage refused to sell me a car that was trade only, they did keep it for me until my local mechanic got it for me though in fairness to them.

yes, they can if they are upfront and say its "sold as seen, no warranty etc" - and you'd invariable get a receipt stating that when you pay over your money, and you'll sign in agreement too........then your on your own.:P

I don't think its ridiculous and I know a few others on here don't either.

In fact, I'm about ready to jump on the next big lump E38 that pops up. That 750 a while back was talking to me ...

Don't hold me to it though

edit: - ridiconomics

every e38 that floats through here just keeps prompting me to call insurance companies, nobody will give me a nice price yet

Is there any cheap MGf's out there with tax and test and which don't currently have HGF???

Budget is €1000 and it MUST be pre 1997

Optimistic to be looking for tax John, it's not as if it stops you driving it home, we're not in the UK you know :cool:

Actually I can live without the tax but if I was to get a barge with a large engine it would have to have tax. I'll keep an eye out for an MGF first

I propose this -

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/2277739

I know its not 1 or 2k, but its a lot of premim german suv with a 4.4 stove for 5k or over ish. what were these new, 90k? or 100 spec'd up? it looks mint, will have a new nct etc......I think Bangernomics is not always about yokes for 1k or 1,500 notes, sometime more....

Sh!te ad but it could be a cracker. Big engine though. Anyone ever taken a look at it?

Small dent above rear light cluster is a little off putting but it is an oldie.

Two years too new

Must have 96 on the plate.....maybe 97 for classic insurance

Top Dog · 27-06-2011 6:59pm

'96 528i with 6 months NCT for €500? I'm guessing there's more to it than the brief description, but still might be worth a call

I know there is a tendency towards massive cars on this thread, but for those actually interested in affordable motoring, I thought this was interesting for an asking price of 1600.

Ticks all the boxes really.
Long tax and 2 year
NCT.
Electrics
Alarm/CL
Low mileage.
1.3 litre.
5 doors.

They're supposed to be a decent car. I reckon you could get it for 1400. People on adverts expect a bit of haggle.

99 corolla does not equal €1400.

Minister Boyce · 27-06-2011 8:31pm

The auto box would be a bit of turn off but I didn't think they were all that bad, granted my opinion is a lay persons one.

+1

I'd say 1k would be a fair price for that.

If it's not huge and German, it's not worth driving. :rolleyes:

It's adverts.ie. I wouldn't be surprised if he came down a few quid.
I'll have to watch the thread now and see if he sells it.

Mister Jingles · 27-06-2011 8:39pm

Nice car for little money + NCT till Jan 13, no mention of tax though.

No need to be defensive

It's priced as it is because it's an automatic. There are very few automatics for sale with small (engined) cars so autos command a premium. A manual would fetch about a grand, as the lads said ^^^

It's likely to be a reliable car anyway, auto or manual

They're a grand car. If i had a choice between a similarly aged focus (with the gutless 1.4 engine), an astra (equally boring as the corolla) & a megane (just...no) i'd go for the corolla every single time.

Nippy & comfortable enough on a long journey.

I know there's a lot of Toyota love in this country but that car nippy? It does 0-100km/h in over 16s

And it has only 3 gears

As one of the single most uncomfortable and boring cars I ever had the misfortune to sit into, I strongly disagree with you there.
Apart from very small cars, that flavour corolla has a drivers seat that just doesn't travel back far enough for me (6ft). Let alone for a taller person.
Comfortable it is not. Reliable yes.
And, for that price, it fits quite nicely into the bangernomics thread, albeit €200 ~ €300 over priced.

condra · 27-06-2011 9:16pm

My friend has one of those Corollas. The boot is HUGE and when you fold the seats down its EPIC.
He moved a double mattress for me at one point.

Friend of mine has one for the past few years - and its in the garage on an almost monthly basis with failing coil packs, wiper motors, central locking issues and plenty more. Might take one if it was given to me for free, but thats the only way I'd ever have one.
