Mileage not specified so quite likely high, seller is a kia dealer but this yoke isn't on their own site, no mention of it being a trade sale though so might well be a grand yoke.......... NCT until Feb 2014 asking €1875

I'm driving an '05 one of these for the last 2 years. Can't speak highly enough of it.
Just sailed through the test. Fierce reliable cars. Can't understand how they weren't more popular as alternatives to Corollas, Almeras etc..
Maybe it's the very slight racer image they have going on??

this clean swede is "in test" but needs a new test real soon, so approach with caution.......

That's €1 per day more to tax than a 2l. It's all relative. Cars with slightly bigger engines are extremely cheap to buy in Ireland

Very decent car for very little money. Nice find, barura

Not sure how he managed to fit a new timing belt though

A generic "timing belt done" always leads me to suspect a dealer of sorts,and not anyone that has actually owned the car.

Especially on a car that doesn't have a timing belt

a miser on fuel, rolling them rims (which look wrong on the Z3).......I don't think so.

..and if he's so confident there's nothing wrong with it, why not test it early as its eligable and get a new fresh nct on it?!

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaa..........

This has potential alright, a few hundred quid off and it's alot of nice car for small money. Nice spec on it too.

Funny that there is no picture of the very front of the car...other than that it is one of the better looking BMWs.

*Hateful yokes in my opinion. They don't look good, don't go good and the diesel engines give horrific trouble. The petrols engines less so but the 1.6 is fairly slow alright. The interior of them is the worst thing about them I think as well. Gearboxes are another weak point I think, not 100% sure on that though.

They are reasonably comfortable though and generally think the petrols are reliable.








*Source - Dad had a fair few on the fleet in work and often took them home including a few Almera's. I remember thinking it was the worst car I'd come across.

One from 2000 with 8months NCT for 650 with timing belt done, etc. That phone worries me though...

That must have been a tricky job, all the petrol engined P11 and P11-144's had timing chains, the diesel had two timing belts, one to drive the camshaft from the crank shaft and one to drive the injector pump from the camshaft.

Thanking you my good Sir, 'tis indeed good to be back posting about a Primera! I should have added that I think the second one you linked to looks promising, think they were a much better car. My elderly uncle who no longer drives had one and it took dogs abuse and never gave up. Good cars.

Ah bollox. I don't know much about engines to be honest... Must check in on that. Thanks for the heads up!

The automotive equivalent of saying -"Buy it or the puppy gets it" - lets not be too hasty, eh?

I can't get an insurance quote on that mondeo . I'm a bit surprised by that but there you go:rolleyes:

How is the tax worth €1000 on scrapage alone? Is the dealer able to reclaim the tax back when sent for scrap?

Yes they can.

Once there's over 3 months of valid tax on it, it can be reclaimed.

Indeed, the car might seem good on paper but such a blatant fraudulent claim or lie if you will does not instill confidence in the seller.

Sold now anyway so its all a little academic at this stage but just googled the number in the ad and the results returned don't inspire too much confidence either.

Hmm, that one would have you thinking alright. To get down to the nitty gritty its unlikely that you'd have it in your name in the month of April but you should comfortably have it in your name during the month of May. That means you should be able to claim June 13 to Feb 2014 all inclusive (9 months) tax back. By my reckoning thats approx €970 on the basis that the tax was €1,294 on it for the year and also assuming that you are rebated pro rata which I'm unsure about.

That leaves you with a very cheap car to do whatever the hell you like with. I'm sure you'd sell it for a couple of hundred but if not I'm sure you might flog the likes of the wheels and the leather seats easily enough and then scrap it for maybe up to €150.... could be right handy money for somebody living in or around Co Clare direction

Not quite. You only get the tax back in this case if you have a certificate that the car was scrapped.

It is indeed tempting! Buy it, fuel it and insure it until next march, lash it through the NCT and if it passes you might get €600 back. If not scrap it and it's cheap motoring either way. You also get the pleasure of a V6 too...;)

Probably a PSV special but still... Pretty leather. 1950. NCT will go for two years on this thing at next renewal so it could be a nice Executive stop gap for 2 years, sell on for 1k and you're doing well?

V6 and all that jazz.
