I'm going to be putting my 95 up for sale in the next week or 2 .. need a small engined petrol for my son to learn to drive in.. its a very reluctant sale!
2.0 turbo automatic , leather ,
Saab runs on lpg @ 64c a litre and easily attains 230 mlies for 27 euro mostly city driving.4 new tyres 2 months ago. The lpg conversion is still under warranty until next october . 84k genuine miles , full service history .
Only issue is that the rain sensor isn't working but wipers work fine normally.
Otherwise the car is in great condition. PM me any questions .

You won't get it for €500 imo. I think €600 will be the lowest they'll go. You could try though.

On that Mazda though, I'm not sure I'd bother with it if you intend to keep the car for awhile. They are prone to rust underneath and don't last as well as other Japanese cars from that era. I was looking for one around 7 year ago and couldn't find a rust free example even back then. Looked at loads and they all had rust. Even 5-6 year old examples had lots of rust underneath.

This car is down to €495 now.
NCT to September so rust mustn't be an issue just now.

Definitely worth a punt if in need of a cheap runabout quickly.

Any thoughts on this?

Looks very tidy from the pics, Im in need of a cheapish diesel for a 150km round trip to work every day.
Have been doing it in a 1.8 petrol mondeo untill a few days ago, was breaking my wallet.

From what Ive read Tddi is more reliable than the Tdci, reliability would be a big concern for me

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/ford-focus-tdci/11194858

Or this?

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/2001-ford-focus-1-8-diesel-5dr-new-nct-03-17-/11235256

Potentially more reliable but not as nice on the eye.

I guess my worry with a tdci is injector or dmf failure that would almost write off the car

Afaik if it was manufactured in 2004 it will be post sludge fix. VIN will tell what year it was manufactured

unkel

Quick google: position 10 in the VIN is the model year, so this needs to be 4 or higher (2004 or newer)

Cool VIN decoder from Russia I have used before:

Linky

Result of a random VIN from a '98 9-5 I found from someone online:

VIN: YS3ED48E8W3071044
Manufacturer: Saab Automobile AB
Product line: SAAB 9-5
Body type: 4-door Sedan
Gear box: 4-Speed Automatic
Engine type: B235E LPT
Model year: 1998
Assembly plant: Trollhattan line B or Arlov, Sweden
Serial number: 071044
Control symbol: Passed
SRS: w/Dual Airbags, 9-5

Post sludge fix. . I checked on saab forum in the UK .
Nct till may too btw

Nice car, jahrr100. LPG would make it a very attractive buy even for those of us who put in more than a low mileage. Do you use an additive in the LPG system? Iirc you need it to avoid premature valve stem seal wear?

Can you confirm (when you get home) that the 10th digit of the VIN is a 4? Surely it will help your sale if you can. GLWS

Oh yes. There's flash lube added to keep the valve seals cushy. .

Vw polo classic nct and tax.

Looks straight and tidy and a free spares car to go with it.
Seems good value at €800 nothing to get excited over but simple A-B motoring.

The lad selling it now seems to specialise in breaking Saabs for parts. He even recycled the photos from the donedeal ad to his own ad.

An Ri rua

Anyone posted this 01 Mondeo LX estate before? Possibly reared its head back in September 15 maybe, as the DD ad mentions that. So why no sale then? High mileage but a lot of work done. E666 and its even called Merlin. 192k miles and NCT til only March though.

Quirky ad and legitimately quirky as the seller's name throws up this https://ulris.ul.ie/live/!W_VA_CV_BUILDER.SHOW_ALL?user=david.filip@ul.ie so it has it UL parking connection mentioned.

Love to know how he valued the reg at €750 seeing as it's non-transferable. and they only cost €200 (I think) to reserve when that car was new.

unkel

Could be wrong but I think we've seen that Clio Sport in here a few times over the years (or one very similar, deffo '01 and silver). I'd like to see that bill from the Renault main dealer from 4k miles ago and proof about the belt

NCT '17 is a good sign and if the above works out it could be a wee cracker of a car

Fixer upper that BMW. Personally I wouldn't even bother doing that. Not great long time driving a car with a stuck open thermostat, very bad news if it has been stuck closed.

It's not even a proper MG, but in fairness if you are a fan of Toyotas, even that, eh, car, is a step up from them
