Bargain.

No worse than anyone else not using the "crewcab" to ferry employees to and from jobs. Which is 90 odd % of €333 taxed crewcab owners.

One is what a crewcab is for and the other isn't though?

I remember checking that before, the tax on a post-08 one is €2350, so the 07 is actually cheaper taxed :eek:

2350 for a car with a 2.7 diesel? Are we sure it runs on diesel and not coal?

I couldn't believe it too, until I looked it up, the 2.7 Auto C6 in 2008 has a CO2 output of 230gm/km. The €2350 rate is for all cars 226gm + .

In 2009, the 2.7 was replaced with a 3.0 HDI with Co2 of 190g = €750 tax

Eek as right, that engine certainly must be bucking the trend for C02 emissions on diesels.

Four and a half grand for a 14 year old guzzler, doen't look like it comes with ant TAX or NCT either... jesus christ.

Price is high in fairness for a no tax or test example. But an un molested original Irish IS200 a fairly rare car now. I know rare doesn't equal desirable or expensive but there'd be plenty of young lads who that car would appeal to for insurance purposes etc. Probably see €2500 - 3k with a fresh test.

Ah stop, these things were making 1500euro a few years ago. Even good ones. The price has climbed up again due to lads wanting Altezza lookalikes but 4.5k is beyond laughable.

The ad alone would convince me to part with 4.5k
I'd prefer that to an altezza though.

Exactly. But there are young lads out there with money again who will pay 3 grand for the car because it looks like an alternative but it.seems insurance friendly being a late model and Irish.

But yeah generally 4500 for that yoke is hasty.

The colour removes at least 60% of any potential value, 1k max....

Given the colour of that particular one 1500 would be plenty for it. The fact it has not test 1k would be more like it even then it's a tough sale.

Black, grey, blue, red or white are the colours that young fellas want. Silver then and lastly that cream colour, sunburnt orange and green are the
least desirable colours by a long way.

An altezza is a better car tbh. You'd expect to pay 4k+ for one of those. is200's aren't worth a whole pile these days

All the gas guzzling with none of the performance...Not that altezza Is pulling up any trees at that. It was definately the most underwhelming drive of any of the boy racery things I've driven.

But on a run the is would beat it no? Considering an altezza would be limited to 180.
Around our way years ago the way people were doing them up put me off them.
Always preferred the is as it's nice on the eye and the altezza just screams boy racer.

The beams engine in the altezza is better and offers more performance. They are limited but I think they can be delimited. Id agree about them being done up, most are done up in a tacky way and are wrecked but a nice one can look very well

I get you on that point about the general driveability of them.
Pity the is was such a bitch on fuel.

wotzgoingon

The rear wheel drive plus LSD is why they are popular. Great for messing around in car parks or crossroads.

I would love to know who would buy a 2006 3.3L petrol Hyundai for 5k with 1800 euro Tax.

Twenty grand, on fiddled tax and no NCT since 2015

punisher5112

You would need to invest in a trailer and keep it on it. That would never pass a test.

3.5 litre tax is a tad bit more then the 2.0 €710 ha must think people are that stupid.

I hate seeing that stuff. If you really looked after the car then pay the right tax on it. It's unlikely to be insured/tested/taxed at all as well.

I kind of like the mad design to be fair, just a pity it screams dodge. Nobody will pay €20k for that in Ireland. Where do people get the money for these things...

Duke O Smiley

See, I don't understand how one can harp on about buying only the best, brand new parts and how there has been no expense spared..but then goes on and fiddles with the tax forms.

There was a time when it was cool and in demand, but people are wising up to it now.

colm_mcm

That used to be such a nice car. Was for sale in 2014 for €6950.

Oh so it wasn't finished last May?
