Decent looking 08 Corolla Luna with NCT til November and tax til September for €1200

Same owner since 2011. A bit nondescript but this looks very nice, and is well priced.

BonnieSituation

Someone just passed their test.

Are they really falling in price that quickly or is that about right? Seems cheap to me for an 08?

09 automatic Jazz, NCT til October, cheap tax, €1750

I think these are great looking little cars.

It seems cheap to me. People will say a saloon isn't as desirable as a hatch, but both are great sellers. I'd have put that car at €1750 myself (and lost the L plates)

BonnieSituation

I much prefer the saloon. But yeah, seems cheap. I guess they just want rid now that they can drive the obviously bigger engined other car they possess.

It’s rare you see them quoting too many previous owners.

Car looks fine to me, but realisticly, how much more is a 12 Yr old plain Jane Corolla worth, one with nearly 1/4 million kilometers on?
I like Toyotas BTW.

08s with less miles were in and around 2300 or so in my head. So it is cheap no matter how you look at it.

Even if you got it to November for 900/1000 you'd be laughing.

I'd say they want a quick sale and judging by its salubrious environs they would want rid.

And sure a 250k on a Corolla is barely broken in!

I like Toyotas BTW.

Good. We'd have to ask you to return your papers for otherwise.

02 Civic coupe Vtec 1.7 petrol 750euro.. car looks mint condition and original

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/02-civic-coupe-vtec-1-7-petrol/24534274


I own one of these cars in red and mines an auto with less miles than above.. they are great to drive and are rare enough on the roads.. I've considered updating my car but i can't bring myself to part with it if i can only get about 750euro for it.. it still shines like brand new when i wash it.. i'll probably still be driving it in 5 years

The fastest it’s ever gone I’d say.

Aye. It was definitely "too cheap". Totally just wanted to be rid of it. I was tempted tbh.

There are people sending messages arranging viewing without making offers.

Happened to me when was getting rid of a car and still no idea how they do it. But they do.

Not sure how adverts allows it, but had dozens messages in an hour (priced to get rid off asap).

Its only allowed when selling cars. Everything else your offer needs to be accepted to be able to PM. Makes sense really why would you make a public offer before seeing the car?

That post was very much in a sarcastic mould.

2010 Exeo TDI with NCT til November 2021, 330k km, €1950

We don't get many of these in here. It won't be long I think before nicer examples come into bangernomics money

Oh lord I hope not they're a terrible looking car, you would really need to be down to your last quid to drive one of them, they're like something a maths teacher would drive.

It's mad, if you posted a decent looking 2007 A4 with a years test and a whisker of tax for €1950 it'd be lit up as a good deal.

The car looks tidy enough and a decent spec for what it is, there's probably a bit of wiggle room in the price too. They are a bit obscure looking as they were never a popular model but not an ugly car.

You wont see many other 2010 cheap tax VAG diesels taxed and tested in this thread for a while yet.
