BANGERNOMICS (sub2k) of the week/day Part 6

KevRossi

No time like the present to buy a Cabrio.

2003 A4 1.8t, Manual. Leather and A/C. Nice colours. Claimed new belt.
New NCT from last week to 12/21. €1,450

Or if you prefer the 3.0 V6 there's this with and NCT to March for €2,150. Nice colour combo too. NCT done in September and little mileage since so should be worth a risk. Heavy tax though.

Down from €2,450, so proving difficult to shift. Would be handy if you had a second gaff in Spain.

Bangernomics update - bought an 05 corolla 1.4 hatch in December 2018, 1400 from a dealership, originally posted on here.
Passed nct today, so has another years stay of execution. Have spent between 700-800 between standard yearly services, and rear brake caliper sand disc, hand brake kit, ball joint at the front offside, driver door check strap and a few other small bits.
Drives well and feels nice and tight on the road. Filthy most of the time thanks to two messy dogs but that's not the cars fault!
Should be good to go for another 12 months of just putting petrol in and go.
Happy days, for a cheap hack I'd definitely go this route again and recommend it to anyone.

Picture #3, just in front of the wheel; is that a load of rust?

Decent 7 seaters are really not easy to come across with a bangernomics budget. That looks very good for the money

Well spec'd diesel CRV with NCT til November, 1 previous owner, reasonable miles, €1995

Tax is a real killer on these but if you can justify it this could be a nice buy

Local guy had one as a Taxi, absolute ball of shoite, it broke his heart and wallet. They aren't called the Hyundai tragic for nothing.

They’re €790 on co2 motor tax in 08, so that would suggest they’re not very good on diesel compared to newer cars, or stuff like Qashqais, or even RAV4’s of that vintage.

Thats a lovely yoke. Do the back seats come out or go flat or properly up against the front seats?
I'd ask him to split a years tax and take 500 off it, give him 1500.
It'll be a hard sell so you never know.

The Qashqai's are nearly all 1.5 though, that miserable Renault engine.

The Rav4's were 2.2 and a bit of a bastard on juice. The Civic 2.2 wasn't too bad but a lot lighter than a CRV. The later 1.6d CRV's run on the smell of juice, a lovely smooth engine with plenty of go as well but obviously they are a long way off bangernomics territory.

The 08 RAV4 has lower Co2 tax than an 08 CRV, so is lighter on fuel - is the point I’m making

RAV4 and Qashqai were big enough sellers in that segment at the time so that’s why I’m benchmarking them.

Is that an exact science though? I know its a good rule of thumb all the same.

Those crv's get right around 40mpg would a 2.2d4d 4x4 rav4 get much more than that? I doubt it. And aren't they in the same co2 tax band?

The 2.2 sante fe of that era is heavier on diesel than all of them something like mid to low 30's.

Would a fwd 1.5 Quasquai be that great on diesel? Prob struggle to get 50mpg. I'd reckon mid to high 40's which isn't that huge of a gain considering a 4x4 2.2crv would be a much more capable machine. 2000kg towing capacity on them too.

Oops!

That trader always has one or two good bargains. Went down before to see a car, nice setup he has. Left after saying I'll think about it and he came back an hour later with a text and offering 100-200 off the price.

Not sure he will budge 500 though

Not sure he will budge 500 though. I bought Mrs T's bangernomics C-Max from him. I keep an eye on his cars on DD. Often has something interesting, usually with high mileage. Spotted that CRV at the weekend,looks nice. Reckon you might ge €200 off the asking but not much more.

Youre right I'd say, didnt realise it was a trader. More likely to budge that much if a private sale.

I would never usually post a cc tax Octavia this expensive, but you don't see many in this spec.

Fine looking car in fairness, that radio looks so dated now. Hefty enough price too.

Looks like the back has had a lift up.

The Superb L&K came with a nice double din sat nav unit that looks really well. Don't think it was available for these

With a bit of a haggle you could have it taxed for six months and still be within bangernomics parameters.

I got one for my 09 Octavia from a Polish lad in Cork, transformed the look of the car.

Those yokes are an absolute sow on diesel, and in this case, tax too. Overpriced at 1500 IMO.

i think its a good deal at that price with a fresh NCT. Tax isn't the worst but as mentioned for under 2k you could have that on the road for a good few months, get through winter anyway

You should buy it.

Seller seems genuine too, he either only started selling cars a couple of weeks ago or just discovered DoneDeal very recently.

What could go wrong? Drives like new.
