Any thoughts on this. I know there is no nct or tax but only looking for a second run around which will do very little mileage

How much would you be willing to spend to get it through the NCT.

Car is €550, tax €630, that's €1180 before any repairs that might be needed.

It might be a lemon or it could sail through. I don't know why the garage don't put it through for the sake of €55.

My thinking was to put it through the nct and see what that threw up then make decision.

Could be a costly one but would expect to notice any major issues and I've a mate who is a mechanic will come look it over with me

My thinking is that BGM would throw an nct on it and charge €1k/€1300 for it .

Do you need tax on it to NCT it?

I'm just curious as i know someone has a Rover 45, serviced and repairs done but tax is out a while, he reckons he needs to tax it to put it through the NCT.

That dealer has been around along time and is no fool. I'm sure if it was just a matter of sticking it through the NCT they would have done so and would be asking a lot more for it. I'd err on the side of caution, it's really chancery territory where you really need to know your beans whether it's a smart buy or an expensive driveway ornament.

This. There's no need to buy a car without an NCT, unnecessary risk when there are plenty out there. Why wouldn't somebody pay €50 for an NCT if it adds hundreds to the value of the car? You don't need to answer that!

Brake Control module - same in s60's.
Dead giveaway is cruse control not working. This is a light on the dash and is a €900 part.
light cannot be switched off without replacing the module.
They know exactly what is wrong.

Yea that makes sense alright. Might give them a call and see what they say.

Just happen to like that model and thought it was a good option

Thanks for all the responses.

Well done, fair play to ya!!

If you like the model you can find one for reasonable money with nct.

They are cheap.

I'd agree, I had one in very same colour for a very short time, gave the very same problem, got rid of it.

Dude, can I just say any advice you get on here is only ever gonna be tip top.

Cadaliac's keen eye above demonstrates that.

Avoid this machine at all costs.

Spend enough time on this thread and you soon learn what sort of expertise is about the place.

A year newer
2.5 instead of 3 litre (little bit easier on the pocket for tax!)

Seriously tempting!!!

They’re a great bit of cheap flash. I still miss mine.

Arthur Daley style.

Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime

I know I'm going back here but from experience of friends of mine, if bill Griffin is selling a car sold as soon , no NCT etc. Then there is something wrong with it and he's not willing to fix it

Like that C6 he was selling a while back it had an issue with the gearbox !

But if he's selling with warranty and NCT he should be fine

Daithi101

Thanks for all the advice lads. I'm not in desperate need of a car it was just something that struck me as nice. Anyhow I gave them a ring after lunch and it was sold.

But will defo keep an eye here as there seems to be some great finds popping up.

Be careful though. This thread gets addictive and then you find yourself traipsing down to South Wexford on a wet Tuesday night to pick up a 1990 Carina.

Wouldn't worry too much about the bumper, probably just worn from the knees of the people pushing it to the petrol station.

Some WOW factor in the 4th picture, mighty car in fairness.

johndaman66

Should be relatively light on the pocket and looks clean. Ideally a bit light on NCT though.
