Best photos I’ve seen in a long while on Done Deal. Seller uses own name plus only one ad ever. All pluses in my book.

He even managed to get the Ringsend chimneys into the photos if I’m not mistaken- viewing on a mobile so I’m not 100% sure

He did, I reckon he took the photos over Bull Island direction, possibly right around here, judging by the aspect and background

Seller is known for it but it's insanely too much money for it. Even if he halved the asking price he'd only be getting warm IMO.

Remaining tax on that Stilo is worth €285. I'd say the car and tax combined is only worth about what, €4-500?

They are very underpowered in 1.2, but worth a punt at half the asking alright.

I remember when the Stilo came out at first how popular they were but that changed quickly unfortunatly for Fiat when people realised how underpowered and unreliable they were. Such a pity as they were a lovely very comfortable car to sit in. Fiat were doing great deals at the time too.

I say it every time one pops up but they still are a beautiful looking car.

We well my parents nearly bought one in 97 it was either that or a 306 and I found the 306 brochure but not the 406 and confirmed cedar them to by a Megane Classic instead. Much more modern better car than the ancient 306 with its crappy dash. The mother would not have drove the 406 anyway as it would have been too big that's why when the Skoda Octavia came out some years later it was perfect. That and it would have been a horrible base spec 406.

I drove a 1.6 when they came out, thought it was a 1.2, was a very heavy car, would have bought one if it wasn’t for the lack of power. I was driving a 146 1.4 at that moment and it felt slower than that (even though on paper they were the same) I probably dodged a bullet there.

For what it’s worth they had savage tech on the early ones, and the 3 door with the pano roof was a very nice car. They were also quite affordable.
They had quite a bad reputation though, not sure how bad they really were.

I thought bull bars were illegal due to damage they would do to a pedestrian?

Not if they've been dehorned.

2005 onwards....

There are pedestrian friendly ones available but they look cat

Do they not just have to be angled in such a way that the pedestrian flies off them

Yea it was around that time I heard about it. I was working for a builder at that time who had a solid one on the front of a transit van. I'd say if he crashed into another van/car there would be minimal damage done to his van.

Mad to see loads still fitting to new vehicle.

I know - i checked. My point was that a potential buyer shouldn't have to search out such information.

Given the price I don't think I would even bother to search.

1500 euro? No thanks.

An August expiry would be a disc dated April expiry with the way the coivd extensions are.

I dont know other peoples opinions and i know it is valid but i dont personally consider the covid extension as a great addition to a car in a case like that. It's just borrowed time really.

Agreed. With a car like that, it's when it was last tested, not when it'll be next tested that I want to know!

User1998

At this price bracket a recent test backdated 11 months is a lot better than a year old test extended by 4 months

Will the extension be cut off the next NCT?

Imo I wouldn't unless minded like a baby, service history and not colossal mileage....

1.6 diesel wouldn't be my 1st or 10th choice
