BANGERNOMICS (sub2k) of the week/day

FobleAsNuck

Just a word of advice. Was looking at the car below and decided to go for the Cartell report. Basically seller pulling a fast one.

- car is 120 not 150bph version
- ownership changed every couple months since it was imported in 2010

Did you report it?

FobleAsNuck

yes, I did

cruizer101

99 Honda Accord



Full disclosure this is my own motor, bought it 5 years ago for 1200.
Only changing as I got two dogs and need a car with big boot.

Edit to add: Tax up end of march, thanks for reminding me to put in ad
Also here is the original bagernomics post, so thanks Moneymaker I've had near 5 years happy motoring with it

whens the tax up

Mad_Mike

What is the actual mileage on it?
The advert says 110,000 miles, but the NCT cert shows 148,889 when tested almost a year ago?

Probably some mix up when converting nautical miles and kilometres

That's what I hate about car ads. Complete lack of credibility. You go to see 95k km car taxed to end of April and nct until next year.

What you find is 120k miles car with tax for a week and nct for a month.

You might not like my comment but no matter how nice that car is, if you don't do the NCT early prior to sale it isn't worth the money.

Sad, but true.

113,804 I've added pic of the mileage now.

I genuinely don't know how that figure is on the NCT, they must have ****ed up and tbh I never noticed til now.

At the time it would have been 106ish, which would as you can see be consistent with previous years.
I'm actually a bit pissed off now as had not noticed that before.

bazz26

If they put km instead of miles on the NCT cert then 148889 km would be 92515 miles.

Mad_Mike

That's what drew my attention to it, as it would have been a HUGE jump in mileage in a single year, so God knows what way they entered it when you got the test done

Phileas Frog

I'd suspect it was 108889 at the last NCT, and not 148889, but it's too late to change it now. It'll get flagged as being clocked if someone does a Cartell on it after it's NCTd next.

Its actually not - as a woman trying to sell a car is often hell on earth. Some Men carry on like you know nothing, treat you really badly and in some cases get very abusive with you.

I've had male friends advertise my cars for me in the past because of it. Funnily enough even though I wrote and took the photos for the advert - these sold better than when I had the exact same advert and answered the calls myself.

As having sold quite a few cars over the years I can't say I have dealt with anyone abusive whether they have bought of me in the end or not. Clowns and idiots who it would seem did not have 2 brown ha'pennys to rub together yes but abusive no. No call for it but if someone is getting abusive with you then hang up before it escalates and annoys you I would say.

From my experience buying cars whether advertised by a man or woman sometimes a woman would answer the phone and pretty much always when you would ask them about the car they immediately say hang on till I get him or he is out at the moment can I get him to ring you back later. As I recall the only woman that did converse with me was last time I was buying. A foreign national woman selling a Mondeo and she wanted €500/600 more for the car as I recall as the belts were changed since she placed the ad. She really should have had the ad updated for new price though if that was the case.

Posted over in the luxo barge thread but worthy of a mention here too

V6, test to 2020, four months tax, €1500. Looks a lovely example too

Duke O Smiley

If the 607 is a bit too old man..

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/2006-peugeot-407-coupe/20886903



NCT till 11/19, nice plate, 2.2 coupe - €1500

NCT is only till March, but will apparently come with a new ticket till 2020, tax to August, 2 owners, nice spec, decent engine - €1950

Pity its auto. Usually I wouldn't listen to the whole "will come with fresh test" line, but this ad seems very genuine so I'm making an exception. I'd love this

Looks great, I would never worry too much on the 'will come with a new nct' thing cos it either will have it or not and if it doesnt you dont buy it.
No cash handed over til you see the cert, if someone else buys it before that happens, let them take the risk.

Funnily enough I know the owner of that car. Fastidious wouldn't cover it, he is a car nut. It would be a great buy, only I am saving for a wedding I'd have it.

Might get in touch with him about it on Monday.

Anyone want a Corolla!? :P

I'd buy this tomorrow if it wasn't bleedin' petrol

Tax & test till July, 1 owner, recent-ish belt change, I'd wager it is a good example - €800

What's the story with the Corolla?

Mine?

Its this, picked it up in December after posting it myself in this thread



Its on 120k miles now, taxed till March, tested till July, has four very new Goodyear something-or-other tyres on it, just serviced (as in less than one thousand miles ago), timing belt done at 110k, 1 previous elderly owner who really cherished it.

Its a lovely car, and I really like it, but - and its a big but (:p) - I got rid of an A6 TDI for it, which is hardly a rocket ship with its 130 BHP, but the jump down in power is so frustrating even a month on. I also have two unresting, ceaselessly hyper springer spaniels with an unexplainable appetite for muck and water and sand. The A6 suited them and me down to the ground, loads of space for them without the hassle of dropping rear seats etc (it was an estate), and I didn't care how filthy it got because it was rough as a dog to begin with. I cringe a little bit whenever they jump into the back on the Corolla after a morning on the beach or in the park
