2.5 manual S40 T5, NCT til September, same owner since 2006, €1150

This is a bit of a curiosity; 2004 is very early for one of these. I didn't realise they were available in this trim/engine either. Looks like it could be a very nice buy for the money

And the fun begins with it over on Adverts!

Muppets the lot of them. If any of them were actually interested in the car they would ring about it. I never really understood the hate adverts used to get on here, but it’s instances like that where it shines through.

I'd say they're not really interested Duke to be honest, they probably think for a 16 year old car that costs 1300 euro a year to tax it's overpriced.

I absolutely hate selling anything now, Donedeal, adverts - and don’t get me started on market place - they’re all full of absolute cretins.

If I can’t sell it on here or to someone I know, it’ll sit there.

One of the fellas commenting on that ad, I know him, he thinks he’s Mike Brewer and has tried to buy cars from me before. To be fair to him, he’d probably pay 2500 for the car, then advertise it the next day on the classic section of Donedeal for €5k, and sell it 6 months later for 1500.

Nice and all as the car is, it’s only worth about what the seller is currently asking.

No ones going to be paying one and a half grand for that in six months time or any months time.

That comments section is an absolute train wreck.

2009 Opel Insignia
2.0CDTi Elite Automatic
€1,950
Nice Spec and looks clean.

EDIT: Just noticed the NCT is expired since March 2020..

You couldn't give Insignias away!
It's actually funny
I did a search on Donedeal for 2009 minimum year, value from 500 quid to 2k (to weed out the 1 euro spare parts ads etc), must be 1.9 litre diesel or larger and must have NCT and I'd say 60 or 70% of them are Insignias!!

Yeah, second of March, so it doesn't even get the schnakey extra 4 months.

Extremely bad cars so everyone tells me......

Wouldn't touch an Opel, some horror stories about them, not sure how the newer ones are.

Some post 08 diesels are on relatively high tax bracket, too which doesn't help.

Warren buffet used to say that the best time to buy stocks is "when theres blood on the strrets"

With the Insignia, it's well and truly a river by now. I might start keeping an eye out for a clean ecoflex diesel, should be able to pick up 2012 ones for peanuts soon.

Anyone who's been burnt by them should have moved on by now.

My second car was a 2004 1.4 Opel Astra. Was a good car to learn the basics of maintenance and repairs.

Only cost me a refurbished alternator (my own fault accelerating around in first gear) and a new wheel bearing (to replace a snapped abs sensor). Did about 30000 kms and sold it on. Still see it driving around :P

I've heard absolute horror stories about those Insignias though

A smart looking car for small money, I've always liked the look of them. No idea whether they're troublesome or not.

€1495, NCT 03/21, low tax bracket and new clutch.

Back in 2010 Subaru and diesel didn't get along. They still rather don't speak to each other.

Kilboor

Was going to post that Legacy as it's something different but not sure about Subaru and Diesels

I would say it's still worth posting anyway.

The whole post 08 diesel thing is killing me, apologies for ot:

Was looking at cars in range of 5-7k in case mine dies to go up in years good bit and its all diesel world or kia Picantos, corsas and the likes. No nice saloons or hatchbacks with petrol engine out there.

Will probably stick to bangeromics again if the worst happens. Driving 05 with over 320k on the clock I must be ready for this
