I remember when I bought my fiesta of Donedeal last march asking price was €2500 from a semi-dealer and he drove all the way from Clondalkin to Dun Laoghaire - I managed to get the price down to €2000, and few months after that, I heard the man that sold me the fiesta got charged for selling another car that got involved in a car accident without informing the buyer.

Walter Mitty still going on about that f**king Fiesta!!!!

What you guys think? I'm gonna look at this car next week as it's locally near me also thinking of trading my ford fiesta for it.

Renault Laguna 1.5 - 2009 NCT - 11/20 162,500 miles Asking Price: €1,950

I bought an 08 estate version in 18, similar mileage. Hasn't let me down and comfortable. As a commuter I'm getting nearly 47mpg. So far just regular servicing! Hope that's helpful!

Doom blue Rover 75 with test til August, €450

Late one too being an 06. Looks a bit tired, but I'd drive it!

Also, if you put the reg into the NCT website, it lists a due date in December. Covid extension presumably

If the 'timings bells' breaks, the seller has a recovery truck to sort you out. You cannot lose! :-)

Just checked our Alfa on the NCT site and they've pushed the expiry out to September. Be nice if they sent us a cert to that effect though.

And really, at this stage they should give passes to cars they didnt certify due to the ramp issue. That shambles is just criminal at this stage

It's plastered all over the NCT website and the news - all NCT certs extended for 4 months

No, a new certificate will not be issued. An Garda Síochána will be aware that all NCT certificates with an expiry date on or after 28 March 2020 are valid for 4 months after the expiry date printed on the windscreen disc.

Remember that it's easy to knock off a chunk of money from the asking price when the asking price is inflated to begin with. A 2008 Fiesta was never worth 2500 to begin with.

That Laguna has a big rusty hitch on it so make sure that the clutch are gearbox are working perfectly as that 1.5 diesel engine has enough to do pulling that Laguna around by itself, not to mind a trailer too.

No, a cert is extended by reissuing it. What they are doing is disregarding them.

Keep the fiesta it's always a good idea to have a backup ready to roll in the world of bangernomics

1.6 Alfa 156, test til October, €500

I can't remember the last time we've had one of these in here. They haven't aged well IMO, but I can definitely appreciate a survivor like this!

I wonder why he decided to hide the car in the pictures?

Duke O Smiley

Yeah, I wouldn't imagine the pictures would be too flattering if they were taken in daylight

They were taken in an underground carpark. Not a great choice. FWIW things become a bit clearer if you increase the gamma on the pics.

Would have been better with the regulation 10 pics - even if they were all taken in an underground.

SCOOP 64

Id say you would get that for €50.

Thoughts on this? Looks in good condition and the dealer saying it'll have NCT sorted for the sale;

Asking for €895

Seems the dealer managed to get a test on it just before lockdown, NCT site lists a May 2021 expiry date.

In my experience they used to eat coil packs and window regs. I think they’re a nice car to drive though and very comfortable for what they are.

A fine bangernomic that will probably do another 200,000 miles hassle free once the oil and filter are changed a few times.

I know it really doesn't matter in this case but it should be against the law to paint wheels black. It's definitely a sign of something with the owner.

Don't think they look bad myself but if the Greens get into government your wish might just come true.

I would be very surprised if that was 146,000km and not 146,000 miles... Those interiors really show wear and tear, hard to judge without any pictures.

This is it

NCT shows km and the clock is in km with 146k on the odometer

Why €750 isn't that a bit cheap? There must be a catch.

bazz26

€750 is not cheap for a 14 year old rough looking petrol Mondeo. In fact it's expensive, that car is worth about €450 or €500 max imo. Those engines are just kak and drink as much oil as they do petrol.

Frank are you trolling, seriously.....

You have been told what you should be going for.

A petrol will not suit your needs one bit the same as you buying a festa to do what is it 2k km a week....

You need something up in the years and now your going backwards again and now looking at an old mark 3 Mondeo petrol ...

I'm not going to bother anymore and I honestly think others are completely fed up now too ... It's like the weather ...


Go for something as new as possible that you can afford, just because you purchase off a garage doesn't mean it's any better or covered all depends on the price as with low end cars they aren't going to be doing much to look after it....

Get yourself the Laguna or megane or fluence and it will do you for a while and move on up ....
