I am amazed that no one has phoned about it. It looks a great buy for someone I flew to collect a 240 from France to Birmingham so the buyers are out there! The only thing with us was the car was cheap, 350 pounds but it was the flight, ferry back and overnight accomodation for us that made it expensive as the plane from France didn't arrive until the evening. About another 300 pounds!! With the trip to Ireland I bet you could do it all in a day!!
We are planning to move to the Republic of Ireland this year but I am just staggered at the cost of road tax. For my 2.3GLT 240 it would be 895 euros a year At least the UK only charge 190 pounds a year for road tax. It does make you think can you actually afford to keep it! At least at the moment you don't pay rates and water so there are some positives and I suppose its swings and roundabouts. We will be getting another late toyota corolla diesel 1.4 turbo as the road tax for the year is 159 euros so more like it. Then theres the VRT duty!! I would still love to keep my 240 as its so comfy and versatile You pay no road tax in France!! Good luck for the sale and a Happy New Year. James |

You could go anywhere on the mainland in a days driving, I brought my S70 from Heathrow, flew out of Belfast at 6.30am, had the car by 8.30am, in Straraer for 6pm and home by 11pm. I took my Dad with me to drive part of the way home, but I was like a kid with a new toy and he never got a go lol

Easily solved, just fold the Punto in one of the 900's boots
