€850.
Happy days. Mechanically perfect. (Rear brake calipers need a little attention but otherwise spot on)
I don't know why I didn't do this years ago!!

Good stuff.
Might take a look at a few of them since they're going for great prices.
How's the boot size?

That's my concern, namely the fact alot of Eatern european who buy and sell cars fix them themselves, and from personal experience I wouldn't trust some of the craftmanship.

You're funny! I cant see anything wrong that someone can fix his own car if he knows the stuff? A lot of EE guys know mechanics very well and do not pay to local garage 50 euro for changing bulb.

A friend of mine was looking at that as well, I must ask him did he go any futher with it. An eastern European lad was selling the one I linked above as well. 60 or 70% of the big luxo barges seem to be sold by them!

Them in EE preffer to show their love to luxo barges instead of sheeps

His point was they might not know their stuff, nor might the cash in hand type mechanics they use. At least if there's some form of service history/receipts, you can verify that.

I wasn't being sarcastic, nor being funny... I don't pay a garage to do anything, but if I fix something, I fix it right. Anywho, this isn't the place for this kinda talk, moving on :P

I got another one today ladies and gentlemen,A nice Mk4 Golf GTi 150bhp, with a FSH from day one, and one owner for the last 7 years... High miles though, but the car is absolutely spot on, with a mint interior and almost mint exterior...

No log book, 1.6 Carina...

In fairness, the way this thead has been going, that's an epic fail for the most part.

Limerick man thanked this post but I think he wants to kill the loyal old dog as opposed to appreciating it's resilience :pac: (which is how i understood it)

If i had 200 bob looking for a car i'd be chuffed to find this tank.

Yeah they're reliable old machines alright. I personally wouldn't want a fairly big car like that with a little 1.6 engine in it. Underpowered & probably not particularly frugal?

Also if it didn't pass the nct it might end up costing you a lot more than 200 euro.

Tragedy

The 1.6 is meant to be 100brake, not bad really.

Two and a half words that are just music to my ears!!

And they will not die, they are the cockroach of the motoring world will still trundle along quite happily mine is still covering 700-900 miles a week with no problems.

I like that interior!

It's a 1.6, possible ex taxi, Carina with no log book, tax or nct! No mother how much of a noble steed they are, that's not bangernomics! It's just not, so quit ye're jibber jabbering :P

€3000, is that a bargain for a 13 year old 2.8 A8 ? €3000 is a good amount of cash.

No it's not. When I viewed the ad it was only a few mins old and the price was actually €300.... Must have been edited after I viewed. His bad, not mine.

At 3k, it's not such a bargain.

It was 300 when I clicked on the link too and even though I don't have it to spare, I considered whether I could buy it anyway. It was a serious bargain at 300, not so much at 3000

+1

I don't think that's great value at all.

Sub 1500 and it'd be looking a bit better.

There's an S8 for 3500 on donedeal at the moment, but it looks a right aul' dog

Boot size is Ok. Its not hatch back size but fine for what I want it for.
I couldn't believe how good the engine and running gear are. The Mazda 2.0 engine is pretty much trouble free and has been known for 200k plus mileage.
Its just cheap motoring really.
