That soon to be 12 year old Clio belongs in the dreamers thread.

You can buy a younger bigger Megane for not much more:

Low mileage still doesn't mean it's worth that sort of money. It's still a small car approaching 12 years old. Lower mileage doesn't automatically mean it's better. Never understood the idea of sticking diesel engines in small city cars. If your doing long distance driving to warranty a diesel then you need to factor comfort too, small cars are not designed for long commutes, they are by definition city cars which can do occasional long journeys.

Both seem overpriced to me but then again Golf's always seem overpriced to me for what they are anyway. Even at that the Golf the OP provided link to seems on the more pricey side again of overpriced. It looks clean I must concede but this thing of will be sold with full NCT puts me off for some reason, too messy when most people want to sit into a used car and drive off without a NCT to be wondering (worrying?) about.

Here's another 2008 for €2,800 and NCT until January 2022.

Looks very clean but not mint as the owner says as I see a dent on the sill underneath the offside rear door (mint means as it left the mint (factory for a car) and pretty much no 2008 car out there on the roads is mint despite peoples blatant misuse of the word - good condition yes but not mint). Appreciate your search may be confined to Co. Kerry OP and what I posted is just to make a comparison.

Thanks for ur detailed reply!

I don't understand what u mean by it being sold with a full NCT why would that worry u? NCT was done 2 weeks ago on it.

Your more than welcome! Car is shown in the ad to have NCT to December 2020 and he says in the ad it will be sold with a new NCT.
If the NCT is out in December 2020 then he can test it now early (you can test up to 3 months in advance of NCT expiry date). Two scenarios;

1. You could make a deal on the basis of it passing the NCT, leave the car with him and wait for it to be tested. Far from ideal if you need a car straight away and the waiting time for tests can be considerable even at this time of year.
2. You make a deal, drive away and bring it back to him for him to take it for test on the date he books or you take it in - this could get very messy if you have handed over money and a few expensive items are highlighted in the NCT. Your possibly reliant on how honourable the seller is in this scenario.

The above is why I am never keen to see a car out of test or nearly out being sold on the basis of "will be sold with new NCT". I have seen some traders seem to sell pretty much all their cars on this basis.

Your saying the NCT was done two weeks ago on the car though? Maybe you had a separate discussion with the seller but if so he would probably want to update the ad accordingly. Either way I think the car is overpriced though.

I did inquire about it alright. He said NCT was done n the only thing that failed was a back light which he would replace.

But ur right I wouldn't be gone on a car if the NCT is due so soon.

Doesn't fit the bangernomics thread because it has no NCT.

Worth a gamble @ €650?

Something off about it. Dunno if it's the piss poor photos.

bazz26

Sniper photos, probably rotting in rust up close.

You would think he would have used the iphone he is selling also to take proper photos similar to the photos of the BMW 520D he has for sale too.

If the engine does have the honest low mileage it claims I'll take it for my own one.

I hated this model punto. I do quite like this though!

What are the risks buying a car from a dealer that's imported from the UK?

Could be a write off they bought on the cheap in an auction or fixed up themselves, do a history check, if it turns out it was there could be problems insuring it.

Tad overpriced, given the target audience for that will either want a brand new one or a much older one.

A divisive design to be sure, but I personally love them. They're just silly and fun. Some people like the sleeper look, but I'd be a Type R/Orange Focus RS man myself.

A waste of time advertising a 42k car on adverts.ie. The only views you will get there are from idiots with endless time to spend but no money.

The design is an abomination, it's like something a 12 year old would create in Need for Speed on the Playstation. I was in an older generation model that felt very rigid for Irish roads (serious anxiety around potholes and speed bumps). I don't know if it is geared towards daily driver or a track toy.

This is it

Never mind: Aprilia here, Appia there, Pinnfarina, Pinnin Farina. Must've been a quick copy/paste job.
