BANGERNOMICS (sub2k) of the week/day Part 6

Duke O Smiley

Yeah, those and Megane IIIs. Both very decent upper budget bangernomics options IMO.

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

Sure 19 years ago it was £4800 for a 17yo on a first provisional for a 1998 1.2 Punto with Quinn.

Madness.

I kept to the bus for a while longer.

2.2 Brera with a risky 3 months test, and tax til May - €1500

Details are scant, cool car for the money if it checks out okay

A bare foot climb of croagh Patrick would seem like a luxury Spa weekend after driving that for a week. ;-)

Exactly, Cars have come on a long way from boggo spec Toyotas.

TD avensis
Looks clean and well minded
Tested till the end May and a few days tax left.
Asking 500

It could actually be worth more than 500 for export, they hit 650 with some crowds a month or two ago but the coronavirus might have stalled things.

The hubcaps are worth at least €40 too cos they are legends of the agri scene nearly on par with the fabled 5x100 tsw stealth.

Either way a man would do well lose out buying this if a simple and economical runabout was the order of the day.

Duke O Smiley

Was looking at that this morning, a nice looking example

In other bangernomics news I’ve just picked up another Yaris from another convent. 02 with 60k, full tank etc. Am I wasting my time with these or what?

Would anyone here have any use for it?

€50 offered :pac:

What kind of money will it sell for?

I was a little bit more generous than that!

I also took a 04 Corolla hatch too, also on 60k but a rough example. Just tested too so I will post it here shortly

Yaris would prob make €500 tops.

Coronavirus or not I'd say you'd have the hand taken off you if you offered 500 euro for it.

If it’s a very clean one it will sell no problem.

Nuns usually have awful taste in colour for cars though. It’s probably turquoise or navy blue.

It’s red, the Corolla is a miserable green though

colm_mcm

We used to call it venereal green.

Think the real name was Vernal green

(Actually that generation Corolla was Oasis Green)


Red Yaris will sell no bother, prob the easiest to sell as long as it’s not peeling.

In the current climate Colm there are going to be very few people purchasing cars for quite some time, I'd say prices will drop.

I'd say every Toyota dealer in the land must have longed for the days when the clergy fleet were upgraded. Those days are well gone now though.

I loved dealing with them, they were always respectful and pleasant.

They are still buying, just not new. We have sold plenty of Jap imports, and today this convent bought two 2017 Suzuki Celerios.

They are lovely.

It’s great when they ask for delivery too, because you always inevitably get invited in for tea and cake!

I suppose they want to keep up the smoke screen that they are on hard times and need the money.... Yet they have huge hoards of money and land and haven't contributed to what they were to for all that diabolical treatment of the Irish people.

This is not the place for this discussion, so apologies, but keep in mind there’s nearly 200 different religious orders in Ireland, and there was what, 20 involved in the redress scheme? Lots of very genuine and hardworking orders out there too, but they don’t make for good headlines I suppose

Yaris:





Very clean and straight all round. No peeling, the odd very slight mark but nothing at all worth noting. Drives A1 and has a stack of history





Again, drives A1. Not even 1k miles done in the last 12 months. The photos don't show but its a rough old thing, plenty of scratches and scuffs on all 4 corners. Passenger wing has been rubbed off something. I should mention its actually going for a lift inspection on Wednesday, will have a full years test.

If anyone is interested in either as cheap runarounds, do feel free to drop me a PM.

colm_mcm

Is that a virginal rear valance on the Yaris?

This whole place is a discussion forum, if you have a problem with a post contact a mod.

You’re in the buying section of the motors forum.
