That looks really nice. I'm like a broken record but i dont know how i feel about £15k? I think even if it was 9 or 10k it'd be fair but that's a lot of money IMO.

There's something going on with very clean sporty Fiestas.

They are making big money.

I'm not sure why, maybe it's a priced out of Escorts vibe.

Those fiestas rotted like crazy, you want to give that a serious look over especially that that price. Inside under lights anything can look immaculate. For that price it isn't really a low mileage car, I think a rs turbo would be far more sought after

Had one of them replica fiesta in white, bought it for €300, tax and NCT, rallied it on the farm, sold it and made money.

Wasn't as much fun as the Volvo GS 240 rear wheel drive, that was great craic.

Useless pics FFS but the 93 one looks sweet.

The red one is gone now

Oops!

Even at 10k it would be overpriced.... Not even a Ford nut would look twice at that money.

Anyone brave enough to take this on

Engine needs attention is probably code for it needs a new one.

Maybe "engine needs att" is shorthand for needs a tow truck.

Reminds me of this guy. Worth a follow. Won't give away the details but it was a big lesson for him and now 4 videos into the story

Those engines are garbage. Budget for a complete rebuild with new rods, pistons, bearings, etc.

And then add in valve train, timing gear, etc.

Surprised they didn't do more pics on the golf and a better write up on it.

Mk8 GTI Clubsport, €55k

even with the extras it has that is more than list price.

ManOfMystery

Do like the MK8 interior, pity they've dropped the 3-door variant but that seems to be the way a lot of manufacturers are going now.

What a car

Wonder what the asking is?

This car was mentioned in another thread yesterday!
Is that a RR Ghost? Completecar.ie tested one last year and reckoned it would be approx €600k. I guess Brexit and changes in VRT would bump that up, unless that price took it into account.

It is always key to remember if you buy a car off a dealer, then you are covered under the consumer protection laws. Basically, the car has to be fit for purpose. If you buy off a private individual, you have no protection with the consumer laws. The car simply has to correspond to the description in the ad, I.e. it does not have to be fit for purpose. Even if you test drive a car from a private individual and it seems okay, you have no come back if it breaks down a week later

Same website said €675 starting for a Phantom back in 2017, so maybe €800k if you want one with alloys and fogs.

Savage car.
I wonder why they brought the culbsport name to the mk8.
I thought the clubsport was the "edition 40" for the mk7 era.

bazz26

Annual road tax on that RR is €2400. That's me out so....

The EuroMillions is €130M tonight so if I start talking about my new RR you know what happened.

There is a standard version too. They just launched the Clubsport alongside it on launch.

Pricing in Ireland makes the Clubsport the one to get over the standard. There's also a really strange quirk where if you spec the 19 inch wheels on the standard GTI, it bumps it up to the next CO2 tax band. Whereas on the Clubsport it doesn't. Turns the clubsport into a bit of a no brainer over the standard GTI.

Didn't Joe A3's buddy run into the same anomaly when ordering a BMW M135i recently?

wotzgoingon

Terrible ad only 3 pictures. Mileage not shown.(could be on purpose) Nothing written in ad description about the car. NCT out and no mention if it will have one when sold. Kinda dear too considering.

If a gentleman needs to ask such a vulgar question then maybe its not the car for that gentleman...and all that.:p

I think those roof linings done to reflect the night sky over Crewe are pure gimmicky for the car that they are meant to be.
