BANGERNOMICS (sub2k) of the week/day Part 6

That's a very trustworthy set of tattoos.

I think there is an extra digit added to that E46's asking price for luck.

I'm guessing that's an extended NCT, so no test for roughly 15 months?
No tax on it either. NCT & the ad marks the colour as silver, so am wondering when it went black?

On a side note, I wonder is the car older than the current owner :pac:

Hope someone buys it, as it's a nice looking car.

The tattoo's and the shouty ad give off a wee bit of a warning, but apart from that it's one of the better priced E46 Coupe's out there.
Decent ones have bottomed out in price IMO.

Petrol, manual, 4 weeks tax, 14 months NCT. €1,950

I sold this guy an m sport e46 a few years ago, was easy to deal with and my GF at the time lost her iphone inside the car a while before i sold it (we searched the car couldn't find it) he contacted me immediately after finding it and offered to post it to me! He said it appeared after a heavy braking incident.

Ya it looks OK from the pictures but as you say probably extended NCT. Owner is younger than car by 2 years, but then again I'm same age as the car. Good looking car but it's had some life around 10 owners since being imported back in 2000 (Did a reg check out of curiosity).

This was a thing with the e46 alright, didn’t iPhones used to find their way down the heater duct?

Is pic 1 a Polish LHD car, presumably in Poland or something?

That one story tells you far more about him than any judgements based on his tattoos.

I actually had my suspicions that it was in the heater vent but I couldn't find it nor could the GF that phone caused war as it did my head in that it was lost in general as it could only have been in the house or the car! Add in the fact that she was extremely attached to the phone irreplaceable pictures etc, it had an awful battery so by the time we tried find my iphone app it wouldn't work

Very funny cobo!
I actually have no tattoos and no affiliation to the guy, i dont even live in the same county.

He went out of his way to contact me when the phone turned up and offer to post it, i declined the post offer and drove up to limerick the same day as my GF was over the moon to get it back.

He could have easily chucked it in the bin and said nothing or kept it!

Until he turned it on and find my phone would stop Mr tattoo keeping it for himself.
G.F. never heard of icloud for those precious pictures?
I've heard stories of BMW's swallowing your wallet but never your phone:rolleyes:
Anyway it makes a nice story on this wet miserable evening:)

Normally I dislike Yariss because of that dreadful rattlefest of a 1.0 engine.
Thankfully this is the relatively lovely 1.3, and being a UK TR spec, it’s the equivalent of the Irish Sol model but with aircon as well.

If someone I knew was looking for a small car, I’d buy that in a heartbeat.

Posting this because it has a few notable points

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/toyota-avensis/27487431

Claimed 22,000km

€750 tax,

One of a field load of 1.6 Avensiss that couldn’t be sold in 2008 when the tax went up, Toyota ended up selling them for approx €17500 at the end - with a years tax. RRP €26500 before VRT went up.

Solar red, so had the paint peel issue where Toyota repainted cars FOC.

So if you can get over the tax, you might be looking at an ultra low mileage, freshly painted, very reliable car.

Seller of that Avensis says the mileage is 220k

Say there's about a thousand percent chance that should be 220k

Nice spec 1.3 Yaris with NCT til December for €600

1 owner and looking a bit mossy, although I suspect they weren't available on these shores in this spec new

colm_mcm

That has aircon and a sunroof.
Factory sunroof on them is an 80s style manual one

Definately a UK spec - CDX.
