a serious contender here 7 and a half grand for an old shape 3 series with 90k miles on the clock the interior is shocking no leather no steering functions

Along with the smallest available engine. Perfect example of a car that was bought for the badge and nothing else.

DREAMER

No electric rear windows, 120000 miles, no M kit, despite what it says in the ad. And it's not even a diesel...Dreamer is right!

3200 for a 95 diesel starlet.

Rare but not worth half that

It's worth practically nothing except scrap metal; It's what I'd call a "Frankenstarlet", a GT Turbo with a 1.5 diesel engine lifted off of another car; Nothing declared on the registration (the ad says "it's still a 1.3 on the logbook"). I can just imagine the comedy the moment it's brought up for the NCT :P

Somebody really takes their "amateur mechanic" hobby too seriously...

Regardless of how much I like them, have to be realistic sometimes. This guy is having a laugh asking nearly €4k for this one

It looks like a sad 156 lol.

Two 2004 156s have crept into the bangernomics thread lately, this yoke if priced realistically should be in there too... overpriced by €1500 at least imo...

Another new feature on DD that I hadn't seen before - listing the annual motor tax in the details. Not a bad idea! :cool:

I'm nearly sure it was, because I was thinking of buying it before it went to its latest home in Cork. As far as I remember, it was sold for around the €2000 mark back then (now the asking price is nearly twice that).

I'd like to nominate this dealer

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3510499



2002 530D M-Sport Estate asking €8745

Advert is 6 days old, much like this other 2002 530D M-Sport Estate which is asking ... €3000!

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4003220



Ok, so the second one has nearly 40k more miles but it also has metallic paint and a recond gearbox with 6 month warranty, along with tax to Jan 2013. Can anyone tell me why there's over €5000 difference in price?

Posted already. It's a very rare spec c jap import. Nice car, but not for Irish market ( not anymore anyway )

And yes, it is slightly too much.

Wait, is that someone shoehorning a diesel into it, or did that gen starlet actually come with a diesel option?

It's basically a group N rally car minus the roll cage and quicker than cars twice it's value. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but while it is overpriced its not as crazy as it first seems.

What "hack"? they've got seat covers on to protect the easily wearing alcantara seat and rubber mats to protect the carpet?! Even a rubber boot liner for the boot. Don't see what your rolling your eyes about.

If they were model specific fitted covers, or something higher end than lidl, or even fitted properly i might agree

Being a mint 16v with low miles wouldn't justify that price either

A VR6 maybe

Haha no it wouldn't really, but it might go some way towards a higher than normal price. The VR6's are worth even less than the Gti's due to paddys inherent fear of high tax...

The right VR6 is nearly bangernomics material these days!

That is indeed the old 166, I cry everytime I see those wheels though. Just awful. It was for sale about a month back down in Cork I think for about €2250, I'd imagine the current seller is trying to make a quick buck somehow.

Overpriced is right, but if anyone was looking at it, it's got the most comprehensive service history on it up to 85k miles. When it left us, it was mint.
