Motortax.ie agrees


Almost 4 years since I bought one of these, €850 mine cost I think with very little NCT, this one looks potentially good.............

Looked at a few "bangernomics" Mercs recently, including one posted on this thread.

Rust.... is an issue. Just beware. The late 90s/early noughties ones seem to dissolve like a 70's Ford.

True, I have one and the rust is most visible over the wheel arches. Its under the arches that you need to look out for too.
Boot lock and other areas not so common. If you get a low miler like the one above (E240) which looks rust free, which is what the seller is tying to show in the pics, I guess, rather than taking pics of his lawn. That engine is a V6 too.

A 2.0 Litre?

Id say that's why it hasnt sold yet, most people in the market for 206's would be after the 1.1 or 1.4 tops

Missed that

I suppose it would make a lovely car for a girl in her 20s with a full license and a few years NCB

Another V6 this time but with fresh NCT and some recent work done. Looks really nice in the pics. Might be a tad over-priced but there isn't too many of these left out there in good condition. I like it.

unkel

Nice car, even nicer engine, but do you not think that is ridiculously overpriced?

He'd be lucky to get €900, never mind €1,900...

Not with the value that a fresh NCT puts on a car. Over-priced as I said, I think with there being so few left and if it's in good condition, I would think that €1500 is fair enough.

There's ridiculously few 156 V6's around, especially one's with reasonable miles and in good condition.

Lack of tax and a 2.5...... Seems very high of an asking price to me I'm afraid

1200 would be a much fairer price

Don't be surprised if that car doesn't shift soon enough...

I had a set from an ML320 and sold them for £100 to a chap in the UK.... That's a bit cheap methinks!

I bought my pretty mint '01 325ci for 2500 with fresh NCT. That chap is having a laugh. It's pretty much worthless.

Jaysus hard beat that for a bit of bangernomics motoring.
Shame it's not auto, but a bloody good find..!

Pretty sure I know the owner of the Impreza (guy I work with just changed his car from an identical one with the remote starting). If it's the one I think it is, it was well minded.

It also has a fresh NCT though and even though it's a '98 reg, condition is more important than age. I think for 1000 notes less than yours it's not too bad IMO.

The only person who'd spend €1,500 on it is...



...you

C'mon man, don't try to defend the indefensible. No doubt the TB is due too (otherwise the ad would have said when it was done last)

The market for a 00s 2.5l BMW (requiring little ongoing maintenance) is limited. The market for a 90s 2.5l Alfa (requiring regular expensive maintenance) is non-existent.

Damn right I would. I looked into insurance quotes for the '04 V6 I poster a while back. They were rather high so to speak...:pac:

Yeah the TB is probably due too so maybe it's not that good. But it's under the bangernomics budget and I would certainly drive it.

I'm sure it would appeal to an enthusiast of which there are quite a few in Ireland. I think for rarity and I'm putting the V6 engine as a plus in my book makes it worth it for me. That wood interior looks delish as well...:o

looks really nice for what could probably be haggled down to €1500.

Serviced with a good service history, nearly new rubber all round, the guts of a years N.C.T., the only killer is the tax really?
