I wouldn't pay anywhere near 1,950 for that thing, Buy yourself a much more updated 2007' model passat for that or less.

I wouldn't pay 1950 for the one in the link, but I wouldn't take the newer model for free if I was offered one. The one linked may be grossly overpriced but the model after if couldn't hold a candle to it quality wise, they are absolute scrap, for the most part.

I thought those 05 upwards models looked like a nice car and still looked quite classy by todays standards. So I was wrong then, ok then

They look good and they are nice enough to be in, but painfully unreliable.

I know they aren't a patch on the B5/B5.5 but are they really that terrible? By the way your talking I'm assuming them to be akin to if not even worse than the Laguna II in the reliability stakes. Is the B7 any improvement on the B6 model?

Jaysus, we have a winner!

It probably wasn't hidden away for 10 years, just a story made up to justify the low mileage, if it's even genuine.. The worst colour in the world to. Low mileage, who cares..... Just a boring and undesirable horrible looking yellow Saab.

Not to mention the accord is missing it’s front grille and number plate mount, fog light also not working, possible frontal impact at some stage?

And an actual Type R gave its life for that. Also marked down as a 1.6, has 1.8 engine. Jaysus lads, is this 2001? Eight grand. And needs work to finish it? :pac:

Good God, I'm exhausted after reading that.

tl;dr:

Hand-me-down Ford Sierra, brought from Madrid to Dublin, went to un-necessary extremes to source some Ford parts, sideswiped a motorway crash barrier on the way home, not a straight panel on it bar the roof and I think his cat had kittens at some point but they had to be re-homed. €7500, "limited room for negotiation".

As per usual, he'd struggle to sell that car if the dropped a zero off the asking price.

Toyotafanboi

So in light of all the expense incurred to date (excluding the original price I paid for the car) which comes in over ~ €8020.00 and all the parts available with the car and original paperwork, the asking price is fair.

Guys, I actually missed this paragraph the first time out. This ad is like a movie, where you notice more subtleties the second time you watch it.

Yeah, sure we'll cover the cost of a Flight from Knock to Manchester, all your taxi's, lunches and the €2 you put into a homeless mans cup on the way to pick up a donor car for a ****ing headlight adjuster setup into a Sierra that's got bodywork like the Top Gear indestructible Hilux.

I then sourced a second LHD Sierra for parts as wanted to fit the rare Headlight Level mechanism that came with a lot of LHD models so took the loom from that donor and wired in headlight motors with the rare headlight level control switch in its applicable placement in the lower dash console (€350.00 for the car plus flight (Knock to Manchester with buses, Taxi, Fuel and return Ferry costing €400 [*****€750 all-in]).

This is surely be to God an April fools joke?

I actually think we should go out on a high and close the thread here, it's not just the price, we've got a live 'un here. The whole thing is away with the fairys.

In fairness, the EG9 has a cult following in the Honda scene, and a good one would be worth almost as much as a good Type R. However, that one is definitely overpriced.

That Sierra wins hands down......

Front panel gaps are all wonky, crash damage and it has a Saloon bonnet/grill fitted and steering wheel is on the wrong side.

If it was RHD, I'd value it at €2k (And at that it's overpriced in my eyes but it'd sell)

christ that Sierra is well over priced!
I know a man big into his classic fords, had a drive in a 92 2L 4*4 Sierra he owned before, I was blown away, the car was so ahead of its time with the amount of spec it had. However, even he didn't play close to that price for his mint Sierra! The body work on that Sierra in the ad is very poor, the car is LHD. However, the biggest gripe I have with the ad, is there are 22 pics, an essay of a description, and not one pic of the interior!

There is a 91 reg Sierra on Dondeal at the moment for €4250.
also a 2L, however, bodywork and paint looks good, it has a leather interior and its an automatic.
I have no idea how much Sierras in good condition go for, I know they have a bit of a cult following, but if the 4250 price is accurate, the LHD car is worth around 1500!
