It's not sub 2k though, mot isn't valid in this country and if we are then allowed to submit foreign registered cars we may as well post cars from all over the EU

1395 is sub 2k (Vrt if bringing it through is €571, which is still sub 2k.)
MOT is valid in 6 counties.
Car is located in Donegal.
It's not as though it'll have to be shipped anywhere.

You'd need a receipt from the north stating the date it was imported , that might be an issue if it's in the republic already.

Not sure which version you checked but when I checked it was nearly 700 to vrt it.
You then need to immediately nct it and tax it.
Valid in 6 counties.. Which aren't in our country correct?
Car is located in donegal, is it road legal in donegal?
What is the point in this debate I don't know but it doesn't exactly confirm to the requirements here.
Start a thread for cars registered in other countries which can be considered cheap if you think its still worthy.

It’s definately a 2.0. Gear shifter is different on them for lift up reverse.

Cheap tax, long nct, lots of recent work done with receipts, looks in good nick.
Practical yoke.

Missus bought this today for 1600 as a 2nd car.
Tidy motor. Some amount of storage in it.

Don't use any of the switches or open the windows and you'll be grand.

Worth zero imo. 2.0 petrol auto on the old tax system, no tax or test. Be lucky to get €80 never mind €800.

I see Donedeal have finally added an NCT filter in the search bar, handy for this thread

Just noticed that about 10 mins ago myself!
About time they added it.

One feature they are seriously lacking compared to Adverts and Facebook etc is location search. Still only narrows it by county, but hopefully they will add that soon also

Duke O Smiley

Yeah, and just to be really needy and ungrateful - it would be nice if you could set a minimum amount of required NCT when searching

I see adverts update yesterday allows you post your adverts.ie ad to DoneDeal for free

What app could you see when a car was last taxed etc? I thought it was adverts but can't seem to find it. TIA

If you go to carsireland.com and select “place add”, when you put in the ref it populates the car make and model as well as nct and tax due dates as well as previous owners

CorkMan_

Thanks blindside88. I know about that one but there was a different app/site that would actually tell you when a car was last taxed which was very handy. I had it saved on my old phone but it didn't transfer across to my new one and I got rid of the old phone before I copped.

A drivers side quarter panel for one of those is €2500 IIRC.

selectamatic

Thats great bangernomics. No matter what happens you will always get €500 back for that from the exporters. More if supply is scarce.

That said in years to come we'll all be wondering where they're gone. As they rise in price.

colm_mcm

They’re such a cool old bus.

Duke O Smiley

What ever happened to yours selectamatic?

bazz26

There would be many more years and miles left on that as a taxi down in Africa.

Mines an Ipsum jap version of a picnic. Its immobile at the minute but I'm hoping to sort it this summer. If I finally get my carina on the road.

The ipsum had a coolant leak that a friend ignored and as a result he proceeded to boil it on his way to work in Dublin early one Monday morning. He ended up melting two plug leads to the spark plugs it got that hot. And he reckoned he couldn't stop due to time constraints. The head might be beyond salvageable but I won't know till I pull it off.

Same man wouldn't be very mechanically minded but he owned a share in it so was using it while his other car was goosed. Shame really but it is what it is.

I bet you don’t have to pay NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ONE big ones to tax it either.

Anyway to find out how much tax is left on it?
