A real one would piss in the living room. I'm afraid to admit I briefly considered getting it, until I saw the price. I already have worse things in the house and I think it would look quite smart at the head of the table if I had a dinner suit made for it.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 that does seem like a probable last chance to get a 130 coupe for borderline shite money, even if it does look awful in red. I bet you could find an engine cheap with a bit of patience. Or you've always got the VM 2.5 Diesel fallback option.

wuvvum Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I reckon a nice VM four-headed monster would drop in there easily enough. Style with economy - what more could you want? Skizzer and Mr_Bo11ox 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrett Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Wonder if thise lot is still for sale (it;s been advertised forever, but there can't be many people in need of 130 bits). Still, I'd rather spend £14k on the immaculate gold one in Ireland than enter the world of pain of that red one https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C602222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramz7 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 An E430 is still the fastest car I've owned (yeah yeah it's not that fast whatever) but I was a little disappointed in how it didn't sound fast, it just kind of got to speed with no fuss whatsoever.

bramz7 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Seems weird for the seller to get so far with it and then decide to sell it, even if they did buy another car. Maybe I am just a little too suspicious. Skizzer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurious Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 8 hours ago, EyesWeldedShut said: Mrs. Welded cannot believe that I am now browsing Irish tat - thanks for the links to donedeal.ie chaps! Being tight as feck I started from the cheap end and found a proper nice little motor, - automatic, shite colour, ace! Only 35,000 km and €600 https://www.donedeal.ie/vintagecars-for-sale/2000-daihatsu-sirion/24735252 You'll find shite in higher engine capacities to be very cheap in Ireland. Motor Tax is prohibitively expensive for a 2.5l for example is slightly higher than €1000pa. Smaller older cars tend to hold onto their value even better as they're cheaper to tax.
