And the winner of dreamer of the year is...

wotswattage

This car is gorgeous and rare but I can't see it being worth nearly €17,000.

Now don't get me wrong its a sweet car but he had the ad up about a month with no price I was wondering what he was expecting to get for it. Next thing €16,900 appears :eek:
Price aside shame its not emissions taxed would be €750 instead of the €1500 cc based...


There's a same year 335i for €11500 which is about right.

I think you'll find that the rate of tax is actually €1809 for anything over 3.0L. Making the whole thing even worse.

Apologies - I was thinking of the older way in which BMW used to badge their cars - where the numbers actually reflected the engine size.

Who says he hasn't got the money? Bit disrespectful judging someone's financial position when you don't know the person.

The seller was really struggling to come up with the 11 items for the list most are just a load of crap and not real upgrades at all.

12k they will be waiting a while you'd get a lot newer clean discovery 3 for that money.

The only and only line, first to see will buy! I highly doubt it.

Going by second picture the engine is well gone.

There is a thread by some lad who wants to buy a golf with a knackered engine for I think 3.7k so I'm thinking of telling him to go for that one.
Fecking bargain that

colm_mcm

but that golf was drivin like new before he wrote it off.

What worries me is how the seller highlights the fact that cartell check won't reveal it was crashed.

Long nct - nice bonus

Will pass the next one with flying colours...

Madness.

Must've slammed his head off the A-pillar when he crashed it the fool.
The rear axle even looks way out of whack, that car is more twisted than the wife's bedroom antics after too much vodka.

If the chassis plates etc and logbook are intact that could be a cheap upgrade for a UK car or a stolen one.

Crikey!
It looks like they probably had to put the engine back in after the crash. Once they'd found it!

ShadowHearth

Ah surely it's not even salvageable at this point. There is not a single side of the car that did not see damage.
Sorry for being rough, but I wouldn't even expect interior to book not covered in blood.

Geometry of while car is so ****ed, that even with modern machines you won't restore it.

I doubt there's any LEGIT use of that car, ringer fo'shizzle.
I have a feeling I know where that is and all.

I love this quote: "They have been running this multi-million euro operation for some time and it is for this reason that authorities moved.”

So, if you are a small size thief running a smaller operation, you're be fine - nobody will bother you...

Hmmmm....Granard eh??!! Something about that place..... Can't quite think......

From the artice: A senior source explained: "I don't know whether it is greed or naivety but people were coming in and asking to buy vehicles they had seen online while gardai were swarming around the place on Monday."

Fookin hell, is there no stopping people? Asking to buy while guards are swarming the place, no wonder guys are at that when people are that gullible and willing to hand over money for a deal.

You'll find people won't give a toss where the car / van comes from if they are getting a deal.
Literally.
People are naive though. When they ask for a service history and get a fax sheet that is so obviously copied or just made up....
And, then they go "ah shur, that's grand". I'm saving a pile of cash on this deal.
I've seen it with my own eyes - people become blind to these scams when they think they are getting a bargain.
"But that's really cheap!!"

What sort of moron does that to a bog standard diesel passat .

LOL! a non turbo Chaser for €12,000:rolleyes:

Its not even the 2.5 litre version non turbo, its just the bog standard 138hp 2 litre, he would be lucky to get 3k for it. Also not NCTed.

The car looks great IMO, but it is the performance vs price side that is all wrong. A turbo Manual is a 12k+ car not that, he is clearly dreaming.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

12k for the turbo is even too much. That yoke probably made €1500 in Japan. Only a moron would pay asking.

Nah most are going for 14k+, I will be selling mine soon. I was looking at importing a non turbo for parts and panels even the Japanese dont like the 2 litre versions, would cost 500 euro, if you were to import it then add 750 agent fee, 1000 shipping, 650 in customs and duty, 780 for VRT.

No where near the price he is looking.

Strikes me as someone who's made a huuuuuge mistake and is tryna scramble out of it.

Even the wording of it doesn't make sense, most people who even know what a chaser is give a toss about petrol, Tax prices etc.
Thats gonna sell for 2.5 as a good conversion candidate or not at all.

There was a well modified diesel chaser up for sale for months and the poor lad couldn't shift it and that's with our love of diesels in this country :L

That is what I was thinking. They probably thought they were getting a real bargain.
