Bangernomics car of the week/day

I drove a Mondy diesel, 2 in fact. First one went up to 245k. A few belts, filter and a couple of gallons of oil is all I ever spent on it. Traded it for the second one, it too went to the moon and back. I was clocking up over 1000 miles a week and although they didn't break speed records get them to 75mph and they'd sit there all day.RoverJames wrote: »For €700 it's not a bad buy at all. At 100K miles there should be loads left in her and there's 12 months NCT. You could drive it for the year and only put diesel in it and 'twould be cheap motoring. I hate the things and they are slow standard (fuel pump won't object to a tweaking though
) but it's potentially €700 well spent.
Diesel with 100K on them for €700 with a lash of NCT don't come about too often.0 -

- however, in this instance, - when was the last time you saw a priest driving a '96 car?

mondeo diesel with nothing on the back seat but the priests hat !! 850Well, that Mondeo's diesel engine is an old fashioned diesel. It's slow, but it'll get you there. It's not the most comfortable car to drive and handles crap to say at best, but it's cheap in parts and cheap to maintain.
So if you don't care about handling or speed, thats probably a very affordable car.
Still .. personally ... wouldn't want to get caught in one

In fairness, he did (but maybe not as the traditional good luck note handed over to the purchaser). He had just filled up his car with the guts of EUR100 worth of petrol and then sold it for less than a grand My ads on adverts.ie

Yep, €97 in the BMW 15 miles before I sold her and €55 in the Rover Coupe 25 miles before the gearbox went and the ZT had a range of 3 miles according to the dash when I picked her up, that was an expensive 4 days for petrol.
To agree with Matt though, if I had my way there'd be as close to nothing at all in them :pac:0 -
