Why oh why?

Last August the owner of my Saab spent €2k on a lot of work in a Saab main dealer. The car then passed the NCT and he sold it for €1,850 a few days later. The next owner sold it to me less than 3 months later for €1,350

Car just passed NCT with flying colours. These things don't make sense, they just happen...

Its part of the new Austerity Law...seller and buyer will have to tax for a year.
Seriously though, its probably only worth 400 without the tax, so new buyer is paying for it anyway. Having said that - it'll sell quick enough.

Lets see if I can still do this.

Almera and a Polo with long NCT. 575 and 500 respectively.

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3345548

I'm a sucker for these Laguna's, just NCT'd, 650.

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3345484

A pot luck Fiesta but cheap at 375, 325 would take it and you could drive it into the ground til the NCT is up.

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3279418

A diesil laguna, 99, 500euro, taxed and NCT til next year.

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3344981

And a ford Ka for 500 with NCT til the end of the year and tax for 2 months.

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3344665

Okay, lots of bangers, but ****, been off this a while, just thought I'd bring a little fun back. That Ka looks like good craic!

Well, nobody will know until someone drives the car and sees the logbook. Until then, its a bargain. (To me anyway).

Lovelyoke but i'm not sure I'd give 2450 for it.

Much as I like those XMs, they were junk when they left the factory and its a miracle its running today. At that price it should be in the dreamers thread. Would I love it ? ... Yes. Would I pay more than 200 quid for it? ... No.

You'd be buying the straightest 166, my dad owned it from new up until 18 months ago. The current seller has done 40k km in 18 months! The old man want's it back... Cannot believe wheels changed for those yokes..

look familiar

It's NCTable in less than a month and won't be fetching any more than the asking price tested.

Aren't they? I really am lost with the wheels but the rest of the car looks ok for 18 months spent on Cork Roads.

Of course I was pointing out that Golf TDI's are in high demand now and that one with the right engine, low mileage and long NCT and Tax just seems a little too good for the money.

If she's genuine though it's a bargain.

About that

And a diesel car with a full service history needing a new engine at 100k miles? What's that all about?
