that'll be the daewoo......small money, needs a service he says

I've found when the seller says needs a service or needs a good service it means that the car is running in a pretty poor way and has being neglected badly. Just my own experience mind but it has happened more than once.

If you bought a Saab like that, provided it wasnt knocking, and you dropped the sump etc, wouldn't you be safe enough?

yeah, agreed, but I'd rather put me money into something else without that fecking durty messy oily hassle ...but I do DIG those 9-3's, when the diesel 1.9 comes cheap enough in bangernomics, they'll be a good yoke to buy.

That 2.0 in those 93's is a different ball game to the 2.0 in the 95's no?

I'd be more reluctant buying a 10 year old diesel one than a 10 year old petrol one I think. To be fair there is quite a bit more that can go wrong with a diesel and there's a fair few well documented problems with those 1.9 diesels. Same engine as the Alfa AFAIK.

Cracking looking car though always liked them, good find.

In comparison to a 2002 petrol 9 3 they're a delight in so far as they won't totally sh1t themselves.

I'd seriously much rather have that Volvo than this Toyota. Why the Yaris is so expensive is beyond me.

That 156 is now listed for €450.
Nearly worth it for parts/alloys. If I was near Galway I'd be taking a look anyways.

Now that carina is real bangernomics, one owner full history , will go forever, economical

and to give some of the idea of the value of cars in Ireland at the moment same car in Germany would cost 2500 to 3000.
