The most practical car I ever owned. Used for moving band gear, fridges, patio furniture, anything just got swallowed into it. Went to buy it on my vespa, folded down the back seats, put the scooter on it's stand upright into the back and drove home. Simple car to work on, cheap parts and I've heard it can hit the tonne on the motorway, just about. High driving position, like a kitchen chair. Headroom for even the tallest driver. Minded it well and sold it for what I paid for it. Pure unadulterated bangernomic beauty.
As pleasant to look at as Eamonn Dunphys scrotum obviously, but a cracking car nonetheless.

You could say its a 'great car, not a good car.' :pac:

2.5t manual S80 with NCT til September for €450

Nice car for not a lot of money even if you threw three months tax on top of the purchase price

Lads, what's the catch there? I know it's high tax but even still.

Hope it’s ok to post, My brothers 207. He’s had it around 2 years, he’s just trading up. Never gave him any bother and is a very clean example.

Is it priced alright?

Thanks

A lovely Renault Scenic,

That's in good condition. My brother also had one. For some reason do black was just not a good colour for it.
They looked lovely in red or blue but black no. He got it hard to sell his put eventually sold it for 700 euros and it was a 1.6 diesel.
I think he is dreaming at that price but maybe with it been petrol it will. I would say at a grand it might sell

What are the Peugeot 508 from 2011 like? Reliable or crap?

DARK-KNIGHT

Also sorry for annoying you lads

My wife is looking at a Mégane estate 2011 for 2500 or a Skoda superb 2012 for 4500

Would the superb be worth spending the extra money on?

fits

Would anyone be interested in a Mercedes C200 06. Automatic diesel. We have had it since 2012 and it genuinely has given no trouble at all. I think it has 350k km on it. I’m going to be doing a lot of driving from September so I want to change now. New NCT on it and taxed until September. 1900 euro.

2 different classes of car really, nothing wrong with the Mégane they're a great car wouldn't be as comfortable as the superb it depends on what sort of driving she does.

superb all day long

Looks awful on that suspension. NCT to end of July, but it was done 5 weeks ago, so you can do it again in 3 weeks. Seats need a wet vac, or have a look around a scrapper for a leather set. Great colour if it was polished up.

1.9 petrol. Cheap at €975.

Those alloys simply ruin that car.

There's another two

Doesn't look like there's nct tho.

she does very little driving if honest

Most will be parked on drive apart from school runs or maybe a trip shopping twice a week

Neither qualify for this thread with no nct.
The first one has been made an absolute balls of with some of the worst mods you'll see.

I'm a great fan of the superb but I think the Mégane would be more suited to that type of driving, I'm assuming both are diesels.

Can you actually get 2012 Superb for 4500 without intergalactical mileage?

I think at that price point Renault offers better value for money.

Most Skodas would be well past 300k at that price.

Assuming the Megane is diesel, then don’t bother.

Why? A family member of mine did tiny mileage in one of them over 3 years and never had a bother with it. The superb wouldn't do well on short spins like that they're more of a mileage muncher.

That makes no sense.

Weird statement.

Are you referring to my post?
He bought it when working a longish commute got a transfer to a much nearer place and just kept tipping away in it, traded it in to a local dealer and it's still flying it. Great car in fairness.

As in diesel definitely wouldn't suit them.
Obviously the older diesels could definitely take a lot more abuse and short runs but a petrol is so much better suited.

Megane up to around 2013 I believe doesn't have dpf so can handle the short run better imo.

I've abused the sh1t out of mine over 80k km done and going.
