Bangernomics car of the week/day - Part II

Quite likely the photo is recent as there are no leaves in the reflected tree in the windows of the house, mightn't be freshly polished though, might just be after a wash.

Still quite a nice car if it was a bit cheaper.

Good spot, I've dropped him a mail to see if he's got more pics and what service history is on the car, I might be interested if the price was decent...

Has it got leather, any history and make sure to ask about the dreaded sludge. If there's no proof of an oil change with fully synt every 6,000 miles or the engine hasn't already been rebuilt then be careful.

Didn't occur to him that his all his wipers appear to refuse to return to the stationary position:pac:

Dermo123

Didn't occur to him to check the correct bhp, it is an EP which means eco power = 150bhp:o

Looks very well minded. Needs to be less than €1,850 so that a good LPG kit can be sorted.

Fairly straight Civic for 500 http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/2968087 Nct til 5/12 Get it for 4, tax it, all that stuff.

And how about to live like a lowly king? Leather, all that stuff. 2002 Daewoo Leganza? NCT til August. http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/2967165 600 bills!

And a 94 golf with 6months NCT and a months Tax for 300. No pics though. Hmmm http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/2966837

And one last find, a 166 2.5l V6. 570, but seems to be ringing all the right bells. http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/2966127 Anywho, that's all for now, I suppose...

193,533 is that not alot of miles for a 1.4?

barura

If a car is serviced, I cannot see why it cannot get to 200,000 miles and further. Also, that's 193,533kms. So about 155kmiles.

Oh right, How much would too much miles or in ths case Kms be for a 1.4?

It's miles




btw, 193,533kms is less than 120k miles :P

As said if serviced regularly a decent engine would last lots beyond 200k miles, 'tis the rest of the car might be the issue. Cars generally reach end of life due to the value of them compared to the cost of maintaining them rather than an actual terminal engine issue

barura

I'd say that car has at least another 50k kms in it. If it's pretty clean. Also its going for 500euro, so if I just got 10k miles out of it, I'd be happy.

I math brain bad. Ah well. It should be good for a few more ks at least.

Clean looking s40 estate for €650, might get the roof box too if you ask nice

And ruin the mpg? If I was getting an estate, it would be so I wouldn't use a roof box!

steveh1

you could always flog it and get a few quids back

Mad idea, but you could always just use it when you need it, and store it when you don't, provided you have the space.
