Now that's the kind of ad I like to see. Great having pics of all angles.
Could have done with a little more info but alot better than many other ads. Nice sewing a small bit of effort made on a cheap runaround

And some interior pictures for that sake. There's always something missing.

Nope, not worth any more than 550 with a new test, they're a bad seller without P/S, and in 3 door, and in a more than likely faded red!


Watch this space though

A red that gets a compound will look way better than the popular metallic colours like dark green that scratch easily. The 3 door will appeal to a younger buyer.
Agreed that there wouldn't be any meat in it once you tested it and got a few things sorted.

Not that red though, it's a balls for laquer peel.

I thought that red doesn't have a clear coat which is why it goes pink?

I buffed a red polo years ago and didn't notice any.

I've a see a good few that "peel" and beneat the peal has been pink. I'd be nearly 100% sure it has some sort of coat has I've never seen a fully faded one.

Absolute bangeromics. Mechanically simple, easy resale. Loads of tax and test.

My first post for bangernomics, I think.

What do you reckon. 2.5 tdi A6, for €550. No mention of tax, but tested til 03/12.

A bit suspicious given all the money spent on it. Nice if it all checks out.
Hard to call given how bad the pics are

Ball of dirt, I saw it at an auction recently.

Ah well. Just saw it pop up. If it had been a bit tidier, it could be worth a look.

Rotten indeed

That said it would make a pretty good car for a learner who doesn't give a toss what they drive or how it drives as long as it's ultra cheap and reliable!

Needs a clutch though.

Depends how you drive em.

Like most petrols of this size, keep the revs as low as possible, and keep a light right foot and you should get about 35-38 mpg. Unless you're doing a lot of miles (say 15k plus) it competes well enough with a diesel, as there is less maintenance and less to go wrong, You'll also get a cleaner lower mileage car for far less bucks. You'll also have more power on tap for when you do need it to overtake etc.

I will never again be able to see a grown man driving one of these without smirking.... (and noting the reg). :pac:

The 1.9td is much better for overtaking.
