They honestly dont care. As long as you are licenced, and the car is insured. In 15 years driving up and down Europe that's all I've ever been asked for. Not even an NCT.

Pedants be like "it must be legal in country of registration!", yeah, but in practice: no.

I suppose you need all your disks to get to to the ferry in Ireland.
Is your insurance valid abroad without tax and NCT?

You are meant to have the vehicle road legal in your state even if the car isn't.

Insurance will have many a clause

Insurance is valid here without tax, never mind abroad....

Big Auto Estate with Fresh NCT and very genuine looking ad. Low mileage for the age and seems to have full service history.



Bit tempted myself but bit worried about reliability and potentially expensive issues with suspension.

I always wanted to buy one of those and fit Mitsubishi FTO V6 MIVEC running gear.

That would be a cool setup.

A 2.0 HDi is bulletproof. Unlike the 1.6. I sold one in a 00 Xantia with 230k mile's but it was good for 400k. If you're buying off a Citroen enthusiast, you'll be grand. Depends on the owner.
Suspension, if it's fully Hydractive should be ultra reliable. Regular topping up of fluid, occasional flush, changing spheres once in a blue moon was all any of my (Three) Xantias needed over 600k miles between them.

The auto box, I couldn't say.

As usual, a secondhand Citroen is always a bargain.

That's nice. Shouldn't be there long.
Just be aware that Kate is a bloke. I contacted her before about an auto mondeo she had up. A lad answered. As it happens I also enquired about another auto listed as being in Dublin with a different girls name. Turned out to be the same bloke. Same phone number too.

That fella/girl pops up here regularly and seem to sell with Dublin listings, Mullingar listings, and most recently Longford listings.

No idea what they are like as a seller, but their adverts are all the same.
Blurry pics that look like they were taken with a potato and then a few shots of 3 or 4 pics stitched together, just to cram in as many photos as possible!

No idea why a seller would use different names every time, and different locations, but well worth letting people know in advance anyway

They are a husband and wife team (or something like that). I’ve seen them at auctions in the past. They use loads of different names though.

Ah ok! So at least there IS an actual female involved
They must have been living close to me and moved to Longford recently, as most of the listings over the last few months seem to be Dublin & Longford

punisher5112

They're avoiding the tax man and most likely any come backs.....

I think he/she/they just advertises the cars in Dublin to draw more traffic to the ads. If you ring up he’ll give loads of different excuses for not being in Dublin and try to convince you to drive to Mullingar/Longford or wherever because it’s “only forty minutes down the road” etc

Another cheap tax Laguna 3 with NCT until the end of Sept 2021:

Ta ceist agam

Those Laguna 3's are great value. But the one above looks like it has had filler on the side and then damaged again.

Here is one with less mileage and 50 euro cheaper, but NCT to Feb 21

Curious little JDM Corolla hatch, 1.3 manual, 1 Irish owner, NCT til April 2021, €1500

Looks a nice old thing. I'd drive it

Was watching that Corolla Super Windy. Oddball but liked it. Too far from me to go look. Price dropped to 1,350 but now gone off DD. Must be sold.

Diseal and the steering wheel upside down, sorry but no, just no. If you can't spell diesel just write TDI and for fook sake make the effort to straighten the bloody steering wheel, does my bloody head in!!!!
