Bangernomics car of the week/day part III

wotswattage

Seeing as winter ended this week :cool:

€1500
Few months tax
Good few months NCT
Bad ad overall with little info, poor photos and no photo at all of the front of the car always makes me a bit suspicious...

Either the seller is a chancer, or a genuine seller with no clue how to place an ad!

Was there something about those almeras that made them very unreliable? I have a feeling that there is, but can't remember!

yes dodgy timing chain soft gearbox and a lot of sensors that constantly break

The put a baby Busso 2l V6 turbo in the 164? That's new to me. Italy only special?

Italy had a fair few interesting cars with 2l engines due to the tax rule. These also included 2l versions of the Ferrari 308/328, some of them came with a turbo. I think it's still the smallest displacement V8 ever built but that could have changed since.

They were popular imports in Germany for a while in the 90's as they were so undesirable that they only achieved about 60% of the price of a "proper" 308/328. They were badged as "208", the father of a mate of mine had one, it was quick enough, a nice place to sit and with the badging changed to "308" nobody really knew the difference.

Not just exotica: Stuff like this existed too. Essentially a sub 2 litre M3. Aimed at the Portuguese and Italian markets

Actually had a look at this before lunch,spotted it parked in the guys gateway as I went to pick up the young lad from school so stopped for a gander.Spotless and brand new NCT.

€1950 ONO.

Not particularly cheap but I've always liked the quirkiness of the HRV

h3000

Very clean looking machine.

NCT 03/14
Tax 08/13
78000 miles

€1550

Not many of these around anymore. Spotless looking, ball of work done to it and taxed but no mention of NCT.

Edit: Just checked there. NCT expired this month and is booked in for another.



Clean celica with suspiciously low mileage and new NCT

Always liked those cars. Its safe to assume that car is an import too, given the spec. Honest ad, with that mileage its safe to assume it hasn't been clocked(well im only guessing :P)

RidleyRider

Lads, ye're on a roll with top class cars tonight :pac:

HiKite

Class car. 2.5 tax on top of 25mpg would be hard to stomach though. Pity the AWD is so hard on juice.

I posted it a couple of weeks back. Thought it was half interesting at that money.

Same cannot be said for the following effort..!

Still, pile of test asking €600.

If it's half decent its a cheap motor till next Feb.

VRT probably around the 600 mark. Although the ROS website doesn't give an option for LPG so it's hard to know what they'd value it at.

Redisle

E46 318i with Cream leather and NCT 1/14 for €1695. Could do with a polish but otherwise looks clean. No mileage specified though so probably massive.

No tax because it isn't on Irish plates and as I read it it has MOT until 2014 which is the equivalent of the NCT AFAIK. Sounds good enough to me...

Love those wheels as well...:o

means nothing here I'm afraid. It'll still have to pas the NCT when it is imported. MOT has a much lower standard too AFAIK.

It's only worthless if planning on selling it to make money back.

If you want a nice estate with the lpg kit already done then I like it.

If it fails the NCT on something serious, you've just wasted the guts of €1.5k (before even taxing or insuring it)

Ridiculous risk to be taking in my book...

On the other hand if you live in Donegal / Sligo / Mayo and the like . . . . . .


. . . . . cheap motoring for €800 for a tax dodger with balls of steel

W123-80's

Full service history
Very low miles.
Brand new test till April 2014
Probably a bit expensive but if the miles and history check out its well worth close to asking.

Great value there imo.
I was looking at an s60 (02) with slightly more miles for the same price. Same engine, but it looked a lot more dated than the S80 - athough a dark color will do that on some cars.
Pitty that car is at the other end of the country to me. Otherwise I would be taking a spin in it tomorrow.

NCT until 7/13 for me means more or less no NCT. Not really bangernomics without that.

€2k buys better IMO.

It does have a short NCT but has plenty of Tax left over and supposedly a Full Service History and low-ish miles.

Tbh Very little goes wrong with these cars and they usually don't take much to get through an NCT, Still I would be pushing the owner to NCT it before purchase as it's nearly within the 3 months early test period.

IMO If a potential buyer goes in with their eyes open this could turn out to be a great bangernomics car.
