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....

Seller needs to sort out his eleventy one fixation!!!! Puts me right off!!!!!!

When my niece was looking for her first car, I suggested a Ka.

Reply: "They look like a tent on wheels!"

I laughed anyway.

Thanks argosy2006. Your posts prove that you can get a decent car with a long-ish NCT for only a few hundred euro. Why even think of spending money on a car without NCT???

And as landyman says, the engine in the Ka is not the most modern engine in the world (understatement of the year ) but it is reliable and no timing belt to change!

60BHP in a car like a Ford Ka is more than adequate for most people

The Ka and Ibiza are looney cheap. Ka suspiciously so, new clutch and serviced bla bla and asking price is tiny. Strange, nice wheels on it too.

New NCT, very clean, diesel and An excellent ad too.
High mileage though, maybe an ex taxi.

Mister Jingles

If the car was NCT'ed last week why is it up in April 12 ? Is it not meant to be two years or am I missing something here ?

That should be in the dreamers thread, not this.Nice motor, not more than a grand.

That Saab looks a fine motor, the only thing I never liked about them is the dash layout. A citreon berlingo would have a move appealing dashboard

If I was stuck for a car ATM I'd be taking a trip into deepest, darkest Longford to rescue it! €1400 ain't bad. She's spotless, diesel, NCT'd and high spec. Mileage is a turn-off though.

I wonder how clean it is when all that plastic dressing sh1t on the inside dries a bit :pac:

I always thought that too, horrible horrible dash!

I think the seller of the saab is the valeter in this case. Googled the mobile.

Hence Why she is overpriced.Great condition though otherwise.Saabs wear their mileage well.

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.

Im 6ft 2 & 17 stone & i find it grand. Ive travelled all over the country in my rolla with not a bother. But i take your 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.

Christ imagine that a car thats had a few problems!? Oh well thats it, thats me finished with toyota forever now since that one car your friend owns has a few faults....that must mean they're all sh!te.:rolleyes:

Im not really a toyota fanatic or anything lads so i won't be going mad trying to defend them. Each to their own & all that.

NCT's are on a fixed cycle, they don't last 2 years from when it is done, so it's possible the NCT was out for a while.

Minister Boyce

Just continuing a bit longer with the Toyota facination dicussion

Very 'brief' advert, milage or length of NCT not stated, if both were reasonable and the seller would welcome a haggle surely this would be a decent chariot for the money

That would be some machine for the money if you could get the garage to put a years NCT on it.

Therein lies the potential problem. Standard (aside from emissions) NCT fails like balljoints/bushings are massive money on those motors.

but their are alot of them going for nothing atm, so if you drive an altezza or similar, atleast you can do a 2jz swap for next to nothing.

2004 RX8 for €1,999, but add says "no reasonable offer turned down", something must be wrong with it?????

Very low mileage too.

I'd imagine it's a typo or has a big problem. I was/am considering buying a RX8 but I am always afraid to by one second hand. So much can go wrong if they are not looked after properly.
