Nice car but an exaggeration to say an 06 325i will ever be a classic.

Where are you based? Her partner is only getting going on a vectra diesel (first years ncb) after being named driver so they won't insure her.

I am going to replace the fiesta one way or another it is already going out - burning oil and gearbox are quite rough, I will definitely check the car out first and if it's alright I will try and trade my fiesta for it. Then I'll have some cash aside if the renault needs servicing.

I wouldn’t buy that one.

She should have insured herself as a second driver for a year or 2, that's what I did under my mother's policy and I got a discount of AXA from €3k to €1600 when I began to take my own policy.

Do you wanna buy my fiesta by any chance?

*256,000 km Mileage
*Ford fiesta 2008 1.2 Zetec Steel 2 with Sunroof
*NCT until 01-21
*Road Tax 06-20

*Timing Belt and Water Pump done @ 240,000 km
*Two front tyres only purchased last September
*New air filters fitted in
*4 new spark plugs fitted in
*Oil and filter changed @ 248,000 km

Still does around 40 mpg, Mainly use it for work commute, mostly motorway driving, M1 and M50.

Your here plaguing people constantly for advice because you want to change the fiesta as it's past its best and needs money spent on it.

Then you turn around and try pawn the car off on someone else on the forum. Terrible form!!

Personally, I wouldn't touch that car.

There’s a red vehicle check light on on the dash too. There’s something up with it but it could be anything... (or nothing) might just need a reset.

All the same for 1000 it would be worth a punt if you a fancy 6 cylinder fun for a while. Definitely beats boring 320i and 320d anyway.

That red car on a lift signifies it needs a service. Probably hasn’t been reset properly

Can you suggest a good reliable, inexpensive to maintain petrol car for every day use?

Maximum value EUR2000
Minimum engine size 1.6
Bullet proof tank engine that can take a hard beating ride and can be abuse to an extent.
Easy to maintain without sucking my wallet dry.
A little touch of comfort is a must.

Tidy looking 3 door Starlet, tax til August and NCT til October, €950

Looks very tidy. Nice little runaround if you could add it to a classic policy

Mad_Mike

I see he has another one behind it in one of the pics. Its up for same price, but it's a 1992 and no mention of NCT on that one

Maybe some of the people here could help me out. I'm trying to find a starter car for my daughter, she's 28 on a learner permit, her budget is 1500 to 2000 at a push. She'll be starting from scratch so something insurable is most important. Her partner drives so travelling a reasonable distance from Co. Wexford for something decent can be done. Any help would be much appreciated.
My head is melted looking at cars tbh, her first preference is a Clio, wouldn't be my choice but that's life eh?

It's a bit far away but she should have trouble free motoring with this...

That’s lovely. They have aged really well I think, a great 4 seat cabriolet option.

Would 3 get in the back of the a4 cabrio

I recall the Audi 80 cabriolets used to be asking serious money altogether - even at the same vintage of that A4 then back in the day - seemed extortion. Maybe it was because Princess Diana was tipping around in one at one stage or something like that which was holding prices sky high. The A4 cabriolets seem to ask right handy money these times by comparison.

Never even looked at the civic we thought she wouldn't get insurance. Surprisingly the insurance is less than the Clio. She's going to look at one closer in the morning, hopefully it's decent.

Civic's are bomb proof reliable and were ahead of their time, surprisingly good on juice too.

07 Epica petrol, NCT til November, €650

Low miles, good tyres, auto box. I've a bit of a soft spot for these, this seems like it could be a decent buy

V6 as well?

Duke O Smiley

Straight 6 I think

That’d be an unusual configuration, assuming it’s transverse. Volvo would probably be the most common example of this.

First line from the Wikipedia page for the Epica:

Daewoo's XK straight-six engines were designed by Porsche

So you can tell people you basically drive a 6 cyl Porsche

So was the gearbox in my FTO

Had no noticeable effect on women though.
