BANGERNOMICS (sub2k) of the week/day

Lens needs more Vaseline.


Also, isn’t it a bit pricey given that these are at Tiida levels of undesirability, and then you’re paying €570 to tax it?

To be fair its only about 50 dearer than a 1.6 on old tax but nearly 600 beans is an awful lot alright

09 just seems so new! But its ten years old I suppose

Tax kinda kills this too. Interesting little thing nonetheless

Tax is a bit of a pain alright, but low mileage and for under 2 grand its absolutely spotless, if it didn't have the year on the reg, the neighbours would think you had paid big money for a 2 or 3 year old car. Like the good old days

It's a fair point. But under 2k is one of the criteria here.

Is €570 tax on a 1.4 correct? I always thought 1.4s were around the €380 mark taxwise.

On the old cc system this is a car on the emission based system anything 2008 and over.

Ah that makes sense, I was assuming that tax post 2008 is lower but there's some exceptions of course.

Anyone could stick a few badges on a car,it's like saying the timing belt is done because someone wrote it in tip ex on the engine,that was one of the best I heard

It has the wheels, interior and chrome that a Sport would have. I’d be confident enough it’s a 130

Went to look at a car one time where the owner had told me the timing belt was changed 5,000 kilometers or so previously. Looked at the timing belt cover and sure enough the current mileage, less 5k was wrote there in tipex. Brand new shiny tipex, and a timing belt cover that had been very recently wiped clean in one patch to write it on.

Had the same on a car I looked at. T/b 88k and clock had 94k again dubious as Tipex was lovely and clean. Took car for a drive. Sticker on drivers pillar shows last service done at 182k and next one due at 200k!!!. Never said a word to him about it in the hopes another potential buyer might click it

You should have said that you called the cops when you were out on the test drive and they will be along shortly.
I hate pr1cks like that.
I went to view a car in Limerick once after travelling from Cork. The car was brought down from Galway. I was promised a full service history with the car. Evident clocking and a fax receipt from the auction house in the UK was the service history.
I went back to the hired driver (retired ex cop) and went off on one to him about the car being clocked. He played dumb and said he knew nothing about the car. This was untrue as he had a full sales speech reeled off to me within minutes of arrival. Anyway, he was only the driver for the day.
I called the owner, told him that after wasting my day, lying to me and instructing an ex-Guard to lie to me, I called the Guards and gave them his details including the address on the ad and the reg of the car.
The car was removed from DD and I didn't see it again. I was combing DD for quite some time after that.

You'd be amazed (or maybe not!) at the amount of cars we see in the garage, especially UK imports, that the owners proudly bring in for the first service after buying, and we have to break the news to them that their "one owner, 34,000 miles, full service history" car is more along the lines of a Cat C write off with 200k miles and a folder full of photocopied service records!

How much does it cost to get the timing belt done on this car?
