500 quid before you start to haggle. Good jayziz that's silly cheap. (Does say it's off beat which probably means coil pack. 200 quid fix so its still for nothing)

Another cheapie. These 'Hard to insure' older cars are going to be bought for a song. This thing will last forever.

Honda accord engine and gearbox!

Is that the only other car with those?

That's a bit of an assumption, although chances are you're right. Do I see the engine light is on?

I think the slant engine has individual coils, shouldn't be more than about €30 for one and in stock in any motors factors.

A bangernomics boss would bring an OBDII reader and google the code(s) on his phone. If the code says a coil, tell the man you'll come back later, buy a coil, ask for a few minutes alone with the car, fit the coil, run the engine and if good, hand over your €400 :cool:

Taxed till the end of April and only 2 owners from new. Lovely car too. I'm tempted

Jag already down to €1,300. That's more like it

Probably get it for a grand...

My elderly mother is looking for a run around. She's thinking micra, I'm thinking jag.
Maybe I should excuse myself from car advising duties

I like your style

Only in Ireland could you buy a v6 jag and turbo charged Saab for less than 2k all in..
I need to stop looking at this feckin thread.

See if her local health officer can classify a 4wd v6 jag as a "mobility aid" and you're laughing.

I'm dreading it. Little sh1tty diesel Chinese / Korean sh1tboxes all around

You already see at least 75% fewer nice cars around these days compared with just 10 years ago. Classic cars are mostly gone too.

Sit around outside Hyde Park before a gig if you want to depress yourself about nice cars.

Tis in the pic with the nct disc. Have a look at the left of the cert and you'll see the previous odometer reading of 300k+.

Fugly sonata. Asking € 800

I like something a bit different.

I genuinely think that's a good looking car!

Agree, I always thought they were like a mix between the old (90's) and new (00's) Jaguar X types

It's like they have a certain elegance about them.

I know a rep who used one as his daily for nearly 10 years and it had almost 500k miles on it. 2.0 petrol aswell!

Don't think it's the check engine light - it's usually at the bottom of the panel between the rev and speed dials. Pretty sure it's the B204 or B205 engine in this which has the DIC pack rather than individual coils - they've gone very expensive but you should be able to pick one up for e50-60 from breakers yard. I'd check the VIN code to confirm that it's actually an Aero (or make sure you're satisfied from the test drive!).

Totally agree ... but was very disappointed with the interior when I took one for a test drive a couple of years ago - had a very spartan and plastic feel inside.

A bit of luxury for less than €2,000.

NCT 10/16, some tax claimed but no disc shown, 2.8 engine, €1950

'00 318Ci, NCT until '17, taxed until the end of next month. 18" wheels, nearly new tyres, leather, sunroof, everything electric works, drives nicely and engine sounds smooth. Just had oil and filters. €550.



Oops I did it again!

What a bargain. Someone will give 5 times this figure for it in 10-15 years. Loving the colour match on the wing though :-)

The alpinas alone would be worth close to that asking price!!

Always liked the HRV, one of the most trouble free cars around. Bargain.

Shame about the bruising down the side. But even so....

Nice looking example of a frameless 323f. Long nct. High miles, but still passing test. €600
