Not that I agree with the price, but that's no standard Bora, no chance he'll get that money, but still. Plenty of work has gone into that.

Yes and the major work the seller has done, changing to a bigger engine is undeclared, so it's still legally only a 1.6 standard bora.

You mean its illegally a 1.6 standard Bora? You are most definately obliged to notify your insurer and revenue after changing the engine.

Me personally I'm not sure if I'd notify revenue. Parasites that they are would probably insist you pay additional VRT on top of a higher motor tax rate. I'd definatly be inclined to notify my insurer though. It would probably all be grand until you'd have an accident. Then you might find yourself up the creek without a paddle. Mind you I think most if not all insurance providers get their vehicle details from revenue now so not sure if its possible to notify one and not the other.

The car would be very unuseable on most of the secondary roads around this part of the country with the front bumber being that low. 228bhp out of a 1.8 VAG engine is some feat I reckon...reliability????

bobin fudge

for a 7k ad id like to see some pics of the interior and not pics from 200m away, fog lights as well would help it towards the 7k price they are looking for too

Yes sorry that's actually what I meant.

Sure the 1.8t in a tt is 225 anyway. I'm sure you'd get a tt or something for the same money

Barry Barry

You'd get a fairly decent TT for that kind of money

Not all TTs have 225bhp.

Worryingly though after all the work and remapping he done on the car he only found 18 extra ponies under the hood.

It might have low mileage and be pretty clean for the year but an asking price of almost €5k for a 1999 Mazda 323 which is out of test is just silly. Certainly deserves its place on the thread in my opinion

No test pilots the seller says?:eek: Its a 2.0 litre diesel BMW. Get over yourself (car seller) for Christ sake

As soon as I read

NO TIME WASTERS, TIRE KICKERS OR TEST PILOTS. NO TEXTS.

in an ad I think "Next!"
Seller is obviously a crank, will give you guff and attitude, will probably get stroppy at questions and get offended when you check the car over. And that's before you've made him an offer, then he most likey will get abusive.

Oops, missed that. Even still it's a very well kitted out one. It has everything that the M-Sport would have had exterior wise and interior wise as far as I can see.

Nope, though they're still better than a lot of the crap you see on DD. Pics at night, in fog, half a panel ... or no photos at all.

Saw one advert yesterday which read

Jeep

Good condition, running well. €1000 no offers.

And that was it. :eek: No manufacturer, model, year, engine, mileage, photos ... nothing!

Do any of these clowns ever actually get calls about such crap adverts? Personally I just scroll by when I see that poor a preview with no photos. :rolleyes:

+1

Unless I was searching for that particular car I'd normally scroll right past an ad with no photos..

The only interior photo I can see is the steering wheel?

That showed it had the carbon cube on the dash, and m-badge/MFSW leather etc. Would be interested to see if it has the right seats and headliner (anthracite). Also the m stripes in the door.

That guy is kidding himself on price however... I think he's over-valuing his sound system.

EDIT: Just spotted something on the outside that gives it away pretty quickly. The door handles are black... On M-Sport models they're colour matched. It's a fake, but not a terrible one
