Why would you go to the bother of keeping the reg out of the pics and then post pics of the discs with the reg?

IMO, the seller has a little something to hide but forgot the reg is on the discs. There is no way you take a pic of the front of a car like that and hide the reg if you're not being a little deceptive. Same with the rear.

As someone said, the rip in the driver's seat is suspicious.

Is there an alignment problem with bottom front corner of the driver's door?

The Space Star should have been killed off at launch!

What’s interesting is that regular door handles aren’t any more complex and can’t be more expensive to make.

It's to do with aerodynamics and the drag coefficient.

Pull door handles are designed to be streamlined, the old type creat turbulence, causing more drag

New Suzuki Jimny has old type handles too.

It's honestly a bit cheap but then it is 12 years old.... I wonder will we start to see a fall in price of the premium price 2008s

They're getting close but all pretty high milers. I think anything you'd want to buy with decent service history will keep out of touch for a while yet

Ya not coming here. Dont think there is a diesel option so wouldnt sell great here I'd think. Its a pitty, I like the look of them

Think the latest Jimny is being pulled in Europe due to its current engines not meeting the latest requirements or the new real world fuel economy. I believe it will be reintroduced with new engine options.

NCT til January 2021, full history, nice spec, €1750

This had 1 owner until January this year. Bit pricey but I would

Is200 looks mint, I would too.
But I know I'd regret it in a few weeks with poor performance and sub 20 mpg .

Yeah, there is plenty better out there - but I keep saying it, there's something very appealing about a nice example of one.

They're just a lovely design of a car. Sleek yet angular design that has aged well and a nice driver orientated layout with good handling characteristics as long as the suspension isn't overly tired.

The engine isn't really all bad either they're absolute alcoholics yes and under powered compared to other straight sixes but they rev freely enough and make a decent sound as long as they're not straight piped and they can handle an unmerciful amount of abuse.

In a similar vein I know they get a bad rap but for their era a well sorted altezza is a very very good car from a jack of all trades perspective.

colm_mcm

The autobox makes them slower and harder on juice.
I must say that a Sport Design in auto is quite pleasant though.

Being an auto, it hasn’t got 27 owners and a square rear plate.

The cc based tax on that is over €900, €390 is some saving.

How does that work if all the NCT centres are locked down?

My NCT is out the beginning of next month and I do not know what the position is.

I wouldn't be purchasing without unless one has a trailer or tow truck as it's illegal to use on the road, was just stating thems the rules on this thread......


They will reopen as they will have to as it's a major safety issue.

kalkat2002

My fault!!!
Being fair on the volvo nct expiry date ( 13th march ) the nct centres were still open

Check gov.ie . A 4 month ext. on driver licences, nct , etc.

NCT were officially suspended on the 28th of March, link below to one source I could find, so anything with an NCT after then is ok to drive.
If the NCT was up before then, officially probably not ok, hard to know what guards will do and will depend on how far gone it was, given there was already a backlog on the NCT there may be some leniency.

In terms of insurance, was just looking at buying car with NCT out on 29th Mar and insurance said yeah no problem transferring over you would be insured.

This information is incorrect. My car hasn't got a valid cert.It was tested before march 28, passed but they couldn't do the lift test,yet it's still legal to drive. It's a complete clusterfuk.
