Bangernomics car of the week/day

You had a poorly maintained, driven to the ground example. There are worst ones that have been scrapped already and some better ones that will keep on going for years
.
Really, did you drive it ? Did you do the work (not much I may add if I could do it) on it to get it past the NCT ? When you get rid of yours you will no doubt appreciate that they are an over rated car. You were at one time considering spending over €5000 (more iirc) on one but saw sense eventually in that regard
Anyone who considered paying €5000+ for a non AMG W124 definitions of driven to the ground is no doubt a tad off the mark anyway. Cheers for the comment anyway. 0 -

Look up Bangernomics and James Ruppert. Its about a-b transport at the cheapest possible.high horse wrote: »Since when?
I have no problem with people buying a 10 year old car for 2k that cost 100k new. There is great enjoyment in doing this and you can get a cracking car, this however is not Bangernomics in the true sense of the word.0 -
Isn't that inherently pleasurable motoring, though?kermitpwee wrote: »..Bangernomics ... is about a-b transport at the cheapest possible
Either way, Boards Bangernonics is a broader church.
Not your ornery onager

Sure, I didn't drive yours, just got the impression from what you saidRoverJames wrote: »Really, did you drive it ?

I did a lot of work on a W124 including my current one, which when I bought it was just after passing the NCT with the previous owner and... the rear self leveling suspension was gone - that is how much the NCT sticker is worth (as long as both sides are gone, the car will pass). I know, almost every 10+ year old car in this country is worth close to nothing in fairness, due to poor maintenance and tough life in the pass.
I would still consider buying a good 124(T) example, but good examples are non-existing ones in Ireland and going abroad to get one is pure madness these days. There is a long list of cars that I would love to own until I can. Why the dreams are so tough to materialise?
Cheers. 0 -
