    It's a EuroR, the performance model. Price is still a bit sticky but I think €5-6k would be ok for it?

    Ahh ok cheers for that


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,172 ✭✭✭EPAndlee


    5k - 8k is the going rate for them


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,502 ✭✭✭q85dw7osi4lebg


    Spotted this the other day before I knew this thread existed!

    15 year old Accord asking over 8k? What am I missing!

    Think of it as the Type R variant of the Accord. Wouldn't quite pay that myself for it but I'm sure theres a market for them.

    Is that a bid?

    10% to charity!?!?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,598 ✭✭✭rizzodun


    The bidding looks suspect as fcuk though.

    Went from starting at £500 to first bid of £14,400, and a lot of repeat bidders.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,502 ✭✭✭q85dw7osi4lebg


    £60,000. Won’t be paid for..


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,172 ✭✭✭EPAndlee


    There can't possibly be 66 bidders on that

    Tidy low km example granted, BUT................... :eek:

    Thats well into Mk6 money

    I'd say thats a smashing example though

    i love the one lady owner bs. Some girls I know drive like loons!

    LETS SEE:
    NO Xenons
    NO DSG
    NO dual cimate control
    NO Navigation
    NO Multi fuction steering wheel
    Lower Spec display between dials.

    Nowhere near a top spec model.
    I sold a very similar one nearly 3 years ago and struggled to get €4'000 for it!
    They were so popular there's an over abundance of them available, saying that as someone who loved mine

    Just as an example of something else for the money:

    Not doubting what you say, but its slightly amusing that you link to another Golf with

    No dsg
    No navigation
    No multi-function wheel
    And in this case no leather either


    :pac:

    I know, it's poor spec too :) and I'm no way saying it's good value either I personally don't believe it is, but at least it's a Mk6 instead of a Mk5 and the red is a lot more stand out than silver
    For that money you'd grab a great spec model up north or next door

    €POA? Was the ad edited since your post or did you "ask" Colm?

    My general assumption is that a car is overpriced when I see €POA and hence I never bother "asking".


  • Registered Users Posts: 73,382 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    I saw it in the flesh yesterday.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,467 ✭✭✭h3000


    Every time I see POA on an car advert it genuinely pisses me off a bit and would actually steer me away from the car.

    same here

    POA = Price on Arrival - I take a look at you and decide how much to fleece you.

    I won't deal with anything that has POA on it.

    In otherwords - overpriced Piece of A$$.

    What I find even worse is when they then also say no time wasters! :rolleyes:

    Depending on the car POA says either "you can't afford it" or "I've an unreasonable high price" so in either case I'd be out.
    I'd glance over the advert but I wouldn't think of contacting the seller to find out the price.

    Could just have been to avoid back taxing it


  • Registered Users Posts: 73,382 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    It’s not taxed though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,155 ✭✭✭StereoSound


    I think this Rover 45 will never sell, I wouldn't take it for free. 2 years out of NCT, guaranteed head gasket problems on these cars to. What would you do with it if you took it for free anyways ? Put money into it and drive it ? Insure it and blow it up and claim the insurance money ? Even with a new NCT it's a free car.. If you paid me the asking price of this car to take it, I just wouldn't.

    I agree, it's worth about zero seeing as it has no NCT and isn't driving.

    Don't act like you wouldn't accept €550 to remove it though :)

    To be fair, I know it's not an exciting model but it could be one for the barn. It's a Rover, in that colour green. If I turned up at a classic show in 20 years time, I would crane my neck momentarily to look at it and think back to my old ZR.
