So, for the low price of nearly 5000, you can own a badly photographed dayyyysul Golf with **** all NCT.

But it's an "Annervesary" edition lad.

Jesus wept.

In fairness the Anni model is a nice bit of kit,it's sort of the car the MK4 GTI never was in that it has 312mm brakes (same brakes as the MK5 GTI,S3 etc) as standard and a slightly better spring/shock set up, marry that to the bespoke BBS wheels,headlights,seats and black headliner and you have a nice car - i'd buy a 1.8T one over a TDI one though personally.

On sale since 2012, those are the same photos. Even then it was overpriced (and nearer €6k!!!)

I'd say a lot will needed to be done to get that working right again, between damp and perishing rubbers let alone all fluids and belts changed

In fairness, a VERY nice 406, but still crazy money. I would love to get back in to a nice solid 406. Fantastic cars.

I wouldn't say they're a dreamer in fairness. Maybe slightly optimistic.

Looks clean enough to me. Stick it up for 1250, take a grand. Nothing wrong with that imo.

priced correctly imo. very low mileage, higher spec and full NCT. looks like a clean car.

you'd get the best part of €2k for a 99 3dr hatch and still see over €1k for a clean saloon.

the owner should advertise is as a 1.3 (which it is), not a 1.4, which is sometimes seen as an inferior engine.

Iseedeadpixels

I wouldnt pay more than 700 for it, I know Corolla's are almost bullet proof but theres better out there 1000-1250

djimi

Ill put it this way, if it was me selling it Id be advertising it at 1250 and seeing what bites. It might mean waiting and reducing the price if its doesnt sell, but its really not that ridiculous a price for that car.

go on then, find a low mileage, reliable, 4 door saloon, under 1.6 with an autobox and fresh NCT for less than €1k and post it up

No dreamer to be seen here.

1.5 Almera http://cars.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/car/7556533

Cheaper Corolla http://cars.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/selling/7593499

Plenty out there and thats just 4 doors on engines similar to the original link.

Ive gotten better bargains as well, 1.6 Levin with a years NCT 800, 1.4 Civic years nct 750 both Auto both gave me great usage.

Toyotafanboi

the almera looks clean i'l give you that, but we're splitting hairs over €950 vs €1250. but being a japanese import i'd say some insurers would make you sorry for that and you could also wake up one morning and find it gone. it's also a generation older than the corolla, didn't those almeras hit the road in 94?

that second corolla is ****ed. door trim missing, front badge missing and some "interesting" panel gaps around the front end and the front bumper is c/c'd and the rear isn't, i'd say it's seen a slap. much lower spec than the saloon and a year older. not really a contender, in my eyes anyway.

Agree on the 2nd was only having a quick find and link, I PERSONALLY believe its over priced although I accept they are great cars and they will probably get 1000 but ive seen better for less and as I said bought for less.

Moneymaker

Someone will pay close to that price though.

Therefore it doesn't belong here.

Only cars that NO ONE of sound mind would buy belong here.

That corolla is better than the 2 cars you posted above and it's only very slightly more expensive.

Just because you wouldn't pay a certain amount for a car, it doesn't mean that others won't or that the car is overpriced.

You say you can get better for less but you haven't provided any evidence of that so far. still I fail to see how it makes that corolla overpriced though.

2 posts in 13 minutes did I touch a nerve? The bit I highlighted is in your opinion we are all entitled to ours, sure at least the cars I bought had tyres that were pumped up (2nd pic front tyre looks flat enough) :rolleyes:

And how can I prove I bought better for less when the ads are clearly well gone, I'm sure there are cheaper and Manual Corolla's out there too.

We can argue the semantics all day, but the bottom line is that at best it is priced at the upper end of whats its worth, and even if it is overpriced by a couple of hundred quid, it doesnt even remotely compare to some of the nonsense in this thread, where we see cars valued at thousands more than they are worth...
