Twelve hundred clams is a bit scaldy.

If you got it for a grand you'd be flying, but even at 1200, it's below the average price for a 06

Clean looking highline Passat, NCT till August 2020, reasonable miles, €1250

Be a nice buy at a grand-ish

After having 5 Passats in a row, this one looks well minded, mileage is low for a 05 too, and it's well specced. A grand is probably what it will make alright. I struggled hard to get a grand for my 06 B6 model recently

They advertise themselves as a German brand. That's factually correct. The Opel brand originated in Germany. The cars on the other hand....

I had a 1996 VW Polo for a spell which you might assume is German but as it turned out all the stamped parts on it I seen were made on Spain. Build quality wasn't its strong suit anyway.

This looks a genuine ad

Yes all the stamped part's had Spain written on them, but it's where they were actually assembled is regarded as the Country of Origin..I was in the Renault truck factory in France, and at the back of the factory were containers of parts from all over the world, but the Truck which rolled of the production line at the other end, was a French built Renault Truck.

Bottom line is that its worth what a prospective buyer is prepared to pay for it. But if you want to have a ball park figure, go into www.carsireland.ie and enter search detail's that match the car you speak about, and see what that yields.

thank you, not a lot of info there ,only one 06, several 07 all high mileage compared to this one

Mad_Mike

With the right buyer, and if it's as good as you say, I'd imagine it should make around €1600-1750, although I'd be listing higher, maybe 1900/2000

Christ lads could we give it a rest with the whole Opel thing.

Seller of the Swift was a minor media celebrity for a few minutes.

God there's lots of them up today
2006 Skoda Superb diesel
Big mileage on this one 358k kms
NCT until January 2020
Not sure if that drivers side headlight will need sorting for next NCT. Looks like it could be letting in water
€699

Looks like something is living in that headlight.

If that Swift starts, goes and stops it’s an absolute bargain.

Certainly better value than that 1200 Corolla

So checking in after a long while.

The 08 407 sw i bought here off another boardsie (Laurpat) is running very well. Beyond refreshing the air con in it at the first sign of hot weather last month (which a friend was able to do), it hasn't needed any work. Its going in for a service this week to keep it ticking over.

It came to me in such good condition that i've been giving it extra TLC inside and out over my previous 407.

And also we are due to hit a milestone in terms of kms - took this earlier this morning as i pulled up to work. It will tick over the 100K mark during lunch i should imagine.



So all in all, still delighted with the car!

Well lads. Checking in again. 10.5 months on from date of purchase and just hit 110K kms. Going very well. I know Peugeots get a bad rap sometimes, but this one suits me down to the ground and hasnt given a bother. NCT coming up in December, so we will see how she fares for that.

For a grand? I would be sorely tempted!

Could be worth a punt, if the engine blows then sell it for parts.
Insurance I'd say would be the biggest worry.

I thought I could hear a little rattle off of it.
Cheers for the write up cause it gives me a clue what was happening since the last of the service history.
You took good care of it
Incidentally do you know when the belt and pump were last changed?

They weren't changed during my ownership, and I think I got it at approx 270k. No idea when they were done before that, sorry!

It wont blow, but will become increasingly difficult to start when warm.

It will need a rebuild then, but it's no longer bangernomics.

Still think it may be worth the risk, could get it sub 1k.

Good post, Baggly. Very nice to hear from posters who have bought a car selected from Bangernomic's, and to see how it worked out for them.:D May it continue to give you good service.

Agreed, It's a 'bucket list' car. Especially at that price

Not a wise choice for bangernomics though.

Car throttle did a thing on the rx8 not that long along.

They managed to hyper mile it to 402 odd miles on a full tank as well.
