Last week's Mondeo up under it's new owner, extra €1000 on it's price tag

He might not get the extra grand he wants, but he'll def make a few bob off it (from non boards members that is)

Fair play to him

Cheap tax Mk2 Octavia with decent spec and low miles, tested til July.

Not really worth €1950, but 17/18 maybe? Looks tidy and respectable

I think there’s a minimum value that any tested and working cheap tax diesel is worth. It’s not far off that.

That’s an Elegance model too which puts it ahead of a lot of Octavias.

hi Colm_mcm, when the car is moving there's a rattling noise from under the car (chassis).

This yoke might appeal to someone who likes comfort and doesn't mind the running costs. 2004 BMW 520 Automatic, asking a grand.

Amazing that as I was only watching a old TG last week and James was test driving it.

He would want to have a doctorate in nuclear physics to sort that out.

I can do it for him last month if that’s handy.

The most likely thing for it to be is the heat shield for the exhaust which is under the car, directly under the back seat.

Probably fair to point out that Viorel's first language is not English.
He's just trying to sell a car as best he can.
Looks clean but as with any old BMW you'd need to check it out carefully.

MarkN

Fair enough but he is trying to sell a car in an English speaking country on a website that's in English. The auld Google translate even would help. It'll put people off, I've no doubt. Cables hanging down look messy too but it is only a grand.

cheap insurance on a 16 year old 520? what planet is he on?

BonnieSituation

Well, he lives near Finglas you would surmise.

Taking out car kits just ruins consoles. Those 4 holes look rotten.

Did you understand him? Then stop being such a French douché and pretend you didn't.

And it's an LWB to boot. That would be great for a while to saunter about in.

Why is the tax so high

It's a 5 litre v8

EDIT: Looking at Dutch rates it seems it's only €291.00 per quarter. I woudl have expected it to be a lot higher!

Looking at it again, is it sitting a bit high or is that just me?

Because it's based on engine size on the old tax system. Anything 3.0 litre or above are charged the top rate. If the car was cheap to tax the seller would be asking for a lot more than 2k.

It's 12 years this year since the CO2 based system came in, wouldn't ya think anyone interested in cars or even buying a car would understand these things ??

The answer might be in your question.

Somebody with a shiny new driving licence just beginning to get interested in cars could have been 6 when the CO2 system came in.

We all had to start somewhere.

And yet, the 2008 petrol model of the same car, which would be eligible for taxation under the CO2 system, would cost €2350 pa to tax!
