Great condition, only downside that 1.4 engine

In bangernomics territory that is a very good proposal. It's taxed still on ccm basis, but the tax is like a 2008 diesel.

IMHO if there is nothing seriously wrong with it, that is one of the finest bangers you can have...

Chape Mondeo, 2008, 1.6 petrol.
€1,550
NCT until Feb 2018

Is it just me or the wheels look very small on the Mondeo?

Not a big deal given the price, but looks weird.

There 16s, Mondeos are just lardy.

Except they are not though. That 1.4 engine is underpowered and is also an big oil burner. That engine starts to sound like a bag of spanners too as it ages. It really does the rest of the car a disservice.

Those 1.6 Mondeos are heavy as he'll on petrol and slow too. We had one.

Top Dog

When I saw this I immediately wondered why someone would swap the nice original ST alloys for these crap aftermarket ones, reading the advert though they come with the car but need a refurb.

Seems ok for 1350? Needs a CV but has 5 months test on it. Anyone know how reliable the 2.2 is and how good/bad on fuel?

Just picked up a 2003 Accord Estate, needed something with a **** ton of space for bikes and dog.

Full leather, heated and electric seats.
CD changer with the premium sound system
Sunroof
Dual zone aircon
Sunroof
FSH
Intergalactic mileage but showing none of it in terms of wear, and I can change the odo to not display the mileage so it doesn't annoy me :pac:
4 nearly new and matched tyres
Test until July '18 and tax for another 3 days
Few marks on the body but nothing worth worrying about and the alloys are a state

All for the princely sum of €500

Got the book this morning. It had one owner from new...

Looks the exact same as my old e39. The steering wheel, dash and all buttons and knobs are the same but I think BMW used the same parts across the range.

No I still have mine outside the house. I have to get rid of it one of the days.

It looks like it was well looked after alright.

Always reminded me of what a modern day Alfasud would look like.

Nice car but may struggle on price. Chap here was trying to sell a similar car (low milage 2004 1.4 Leon) with little success until going south of 1k.

I suspect this one might be a little better presented, but all the same...

It’s a €1k whatever way you look at it. How much cheaper do you want to buy it for!

When there's diesel versions of the same car with NCT and tax going for less in the bangernomics thread, I reckon 1k for a 1.4 seat is expensive.

Is this overpriced?

I've had stupid offers for it.

One was for €100 :rolleyes:

Before I clicked I was expecting a €1000 car. It is a fair price but the only thing against it is it's age as, as we all know the current situation with insurance.

There are always people wanting something for nothing. I will say accept the first fair offer though as they may be a genuine buyer.

It's cheap for what it is, the problem is at that end of the market there's a lot of chancers
If it were a diesel 306 I'd be all over it !

Standard stupid offers from adverts unfortunately. I'm surprised you haven't been offered a swap for a Jack Russell pup or broken games console.

Tax to the end of April and test to the end of March. It seems like it could be a good example. Not the wisest choice of bangernomics however but it would be an enjoyable experience

I love the XM, but does that example belong in the dreamers thread given that it's ragged and needs a new head.

A leather interior XM would be a fantastic purchase of the heart car for about a year I'm sure.

Yeah the current insurance situation is far from ideal to be fair, great car, only done 2000 miles in the 6 months we have it.

Yeah, as i said to people, you won't find many cars with a valid 6 month nct with that mileage for the price. All that is wrong with it is the exhaust heat shield is loose and you can hear it rattle, if i was buying another car tomorrow it would definitely be one of these in a 3 door version, i've a 7 seater family wagon as well and the Peugeot beats it hands down for comfort.

But it has a new head. The marine engineer part would be more of a negative than a positive though and I doubt it was enthusiast owned given it's condition.
