Lada Riva 1200 L, I know, I know, but for some reason I wouldn't mind one of these now, would be a real head turner rightly or wrongly. Have not seen on for sale in Ireland for years.

The tin worm looks to be rightly taking hold. Is it really worth anything near €750. Maybe for a Russian foreign national whose getting sentimental. Still, seller seems to be a bit of a character...

A good €600 overpriced. A guy from CCCI has been to see it and it's a parts car at best I'm told.

Would absolutely love this a Mitsubishi Galant VR4 for €950. Fair enough it needs a clutch but still..

A mk5 golf just in from Japan I've never heard of importing vw's in from Japan. Not exactly cheap or low mileage either. The number plate area on the back bumper is a dead give away.

Probably turned up cheap in an auction. It's easier to get autos over there too by the looks of things.

colm_mcm

There's quite a lot of Euro stuff over there. That Golf doesn't seem great value though, but is about right for a JDM import

I'd love a Lada. There is also a Niva for sale right now and there was a LHD 2101 a little while ago, but that was quite overpriced.

I once even posted a wanted ad for a Lada and got a call from 3 people, two of which thought I was selling one, but there actually was a red Riva near Sligo that I went over to have a look.



Needless to say, I didn't buy it. :P

Duke O Smiley

Hmmm. have you got any pics of that red one Gvido? And details, do you know if it's still there? I know loadsa lads that'd buy that.

CianRyan

Anyone know how many red Riva's were sold in 1990?
My dad bought one new and kept it till 2000, which he replaced with a red Almera saloon.

My dads not much of a car guy.
That Lada though, I'd buy it back.

A lot of them were red (even outside of Ireland) and a few of them sold here. There's one in kilmainham that's red.

I'd have one in a heart beat

No idea if it's still there. It was July 2012 when I looked at it.

I also stumbled upon this place...

I'll have to see if there's any old pics, I'd love to get the reg and see what the story is with it.

I often see a silver mk4 golf around Dun Laoghaire with the Japanese style rear reg plate area.

Could be just a replaced bumper. North America has that type of reg plate area and a lot of people, including myself prefer that look over the wide European one.

I'll hazard a guess here and speculate that that Golf is an American import and not a Jap import

No need for Inspector Morse, the steering wheel on the "wrong" side was the give away clue :pac:

What I'd like to know is why doesn't the reg start with "12" as it's an import.
Likewise with with some D reg Vauxhalls I see that don't have "12" as the starting digits, as should be the case with Dublin imports and 40 with Cork imports etc

Duke O Smiley

It has a Jap style rear bumper though (square plate) and there aren't many silver/grey MK4 Golfs around south co. Dublin like the one mentioned by Brasso.

It's not got a 120xxx plate because it was imported before 2011.

Sobanek

That Golf has been in Rathmines since like 2007.

I don't think that was the one I seen, think it's just a regular silver rather than the metallic gray. I'll try get a pic if I see it again.

That really depends, nobody would look twice at it over every other 520d out there. It's a sleeper.

Can still be a sleeper with nice seats.

It's an ex diplomatic car.

They're all the same, bog standard spec ****e.

Even I wouldn't at that price. My gf's Dad's E60 is identical to that and its grim.

A bit of shameless self promotion here's my own car for sale .

Any critique or tips on the ad are more than welcome or even better if anyone want's to buy it get in touch .

Very nice BMW, might be a hard sell with the current Irish fascination with low tax diesels. Might actually sell better in the U.k and you'll have a nice VRT rebate too.

It might benefit with a picture of the actual service history and any receipts you have for it.

What is its replacement?

Duke O Smiley

Some photos of the other side of the car would help too

Yea was thinking about UK alright would you advertise it on pistonheads?

Yea Ill add pictures of service book and receipts thanks.

Sadly it's replacement is a million miles apart from it. A diesel Passat.

Second baby on the way trying to buy a house and doing a lot more mileage is pushing me to sell it something cheaper to run for two years or so then ill be back on the hunt for something powerful and exciting again. Thinking either petrol again or stick with diesel and buy a classic big petrol, ill decide when the time comes.

I'll be a sad man handing the keys over to the new owner it's a fantastic car to drive.

They're really not great though. Stand a bit close to the car and take them all in the one location.

May as well add a video while you're at it and include the hum of the engine

Nice Beemer, say not many in Ireland want a 3 litre, whats the tax on it out of interest as apparently my Lexus is 2grand a year or something.

If you put it into auto trader maybe? I know a dealer here who buys used cars can send you details if you want.

surpy

Might mention that it's 9 months legit tax and not 1 litre conversion tax.
When I see that much tax on a car for sale I get suspicious!

If it's taxed funny new owner will be in trouble so if you mention it's proper tax you might avoid someone ignoring your ad with all the media attention at the moment

Spec seems pretty decent? Other than SE seats and running gear, which is actually preferred if someone else is driving you imo

The tax on it is 1494 a year and worth it imo.

Yea send on the details can't do any harm thanks. Might try auto trader also

True enough ill add a picture of the tax disc also for proof.
