'98 C Class 1.8 Auto

Tax August '20

Worth a look?
I nearly had to give mine away 18 months ago and was nicer than that one.

Lovely bus. Looks well minded. Very small mileage. Future classic, and prices will start to appreciate soon. Last C class that actually looked like a merc IMO. Tempted.

Alfa Giulietta owner here. 130,000km into ownership and not one issue. Great car, bit a different, very comfortable, lovely handling.

People need to get over their perceptions.

I know some boardsies love these but having a year driving Limerick-Cork every day in one I have very different feelings on them. Absolutely awful awful things. I think I'd prefer to drive a motorbike in the height of winter than get back in one again. Just awful.

Using a cinquecento for a daily cork-limerick run is hardly the cars fault! They were cheap uncomplicated cars for nipping round to the shops for the odd jar of Horlicks. Anything more than that and there are compromises to make.

It's probably the wrong thread for such a car they have a fair following and are getting near the thirty year mark.

Are you mad. ? Using a cuntagetinto to compute from limerick to cork daily. I dont know if you deserve a slap or a medal . I'd agree about the motor cycle.

It was almost 20 years ago when I was a boy and insurance was around 6k! I went from that to a motorbike and my insurance dropped to around 1400...which makes a lot of sense...

That's how much it cost a 17 year old with no experience at the time...and I needed a car.

Mine was 6,500 to be a named driver on a absolute highly powered primera 1.6......

Ugh had to go with a lime green import Micra and it was 3,500 full licence.

Mine was £957 20 years ago, named driver as was the fashion.

This is it

€3,200 my own policy on a 1.3 Colt 15 years ago

Mine was a bit over €3,500 on a 1.3 Civic.

I loved the way the boot opened on them. Glass went up while the bottom part folded down.

crasy dash

2005 mine was 3500 on a 94 1.3xli corolla van.It was either a van or a Micra .My god I loved and actually miss the car.
Ran it for two years doing 3-400 miles a week and nothing went wrong went downhill with most cars since.

The name “Seller” and 9 other cars for sale in different locations also inspires confidence

The deliberate listing of the miles as kilometers is another certainty: bonus points for understating the current mileage to *less* than it was last October.

Not that it would bother me, for the money it is what it is and you need to judge it in person.

Is it just me, or does that particular church yard crop up VERY often??

...alleged 32k miles

Looks like a fresh example alright, although I really struggle to see how the drivers seat has only seen 32k. Interesting one, because apart from mileage and tax on it, it's way over-priced. We bought our 2007 one in April last year for under a grand, with a brand new 15 month NCT, and it was a MY08 version with facelift and newer interior

Yeah seat is in a shocking state

I'd say it just had an overweight or immobile owner. The rest of the car looks very tidy in fairness to it, I'd say the mileage is legit.

What's the automatic like on them?
