Not related to the post but what's in the red circle in your sig'?
It's to small to see and it's been driving me mad since I first saw it.

Blame sig sizes for that one! Then again if you saw the original pic, you'd know it straight away.

That's the estate that's for sale somewhere in Dublin? Same engine as the 6MPS but with no turbo. I wouldn't go near it as it'll be very thirsty without the performance to match.

ShadowHearth

It looks really class in estate form, but not worth it with non turbo engine.

MetzgerMeister

Right, I couldn't find any custard so Nescafe cappucino will have to do.

I tried to get the box in it as much as I could while also getting the car so forgive me:

BUBBLE WRAP

Its a 116d, he told me we was afraid of RWD and tax and wanted to start out easy.

coolisin

As I know what it is well wear MM

On the Mazda 2.3 it is a thirsty beast they have a nice pull from the engine.
The certain estate is an 04 and a really nice car does need refurbed alloys.

For an 02 no matter what the miles it is worth no more then €1500 MAX.
Reliability wise they are good, plastic on the dash is a bit nasty.

MetzgerMeister

OK lads, it's a rebadged 320d :pac:

Alanstrainor

You'd think you'd have washed it before taking those pics:p

To be honest, I need to do a job on the exhaust tips. They're not as bad as they look in that pic, the car is in the shade so the black on them looks worse.

You do know that the figures you gave there are the exact same thing?!

It says 2979 on the disc so taxed as a 3ltr. It's twin turbo 300bhp (remappable to 380 with no mods or 400 with a different exhaust) and the price is my business :P I will say that I didn't pay over or under the odds in my opinion.

Best kept secret of all time lol!
Well wear man, she's stunning, delighted for ya

well now you will be a poor man! all your pocket money will be spent on this! GL with your new toy bud.

CianRyan

So you sold your 2.3l turbo to save on fuel and tax and for this, you get a 3l twin turbo?
You don't seem to get this, MM.

Lovely car, go clean it!

dar83

When will the trolling ban kick in?!?

:pac:

CianRyan

Didn't Alan say he'd ban him if he didn't buy a diesel?

I never said I REALLY wanted to save on fuel and tax. That was a total and utter piss take to put ye all off track and my God did it work (except for SH and 166man)

With regard to mpg, the 335 is actually a lot better on fuel. I averaged 38mpg from Dublin home with cruise set at 130km/h. It used FECK ALL compared to the Mazda which used half a tank going up with cruise again set at 130km/h. There's a lot to be said for a lighter, more aerodynamic car and engineering.

Alan knows better than to ban me :pac:

CianRyan

Well ya had me fooled, ya prick!
You gonna keep it as is or squeeze out the extra 80/100 bhp?
That's serious power!

I'm going to leave it alone until I have the loan paid off. That is, if the itch doesn't raise it's horny head before then :pac:

Fcukin 6 is gone.. 2days is all it took I was going to visit it tomorrow....price was 5000 here and that was a very decent sale price from one of the few reputable dealers here... Im fcukin raging.
Might as well buy a fućking punto or a clio like everybody else here.

fučking impossible to get a decent car round here that doesnt involve an 8-10hr round trip

Just the wheel, otherwise it looks spotless, saying that I've learned lately that photos don't tell as much as you think.

Here it is again, looking a bit rough.

Only difference I can see is that the plastics aren't prepped and so aren't black.
