    I'd never get insurance for the flipping thing but I agree with you she'd be a great buy for the right person.

    Not too bothered really, just a steady yoke.

    Mileage as low as I can get for the money, I'm realistic, but I wouldn't want over 120k
    Prefer a diesel but a 1.4 or 1.6 petrol would do, not putting up big miliage
    same for tax, small engine petrol or 1.6/1.8 diesel
    anything but a 3 door really.

    Anything diesel in your price range will most likely have astronomical mileage. You could get a petrol easily enough with sub 120k though.

    The Primera's we're the direction I was looking. They sound like a box of hammers trundling up the road, but for the money you can pick them up at it's hard to complain.

    That wee 307 looks like a decent motor. I worked with renault so I wouldn't have the same hang ups a lot of people would have about French cars.

    Thanks lads, gave me plenty to think about, and when I get a few bob together at the end of January I'll be back begging for advise!!

    I thought about it too! But the TD is cheaper with a longer NCT (and more reliable :pac:)

    But a cracking find nonetheless :)

    The Almera an the Escort look like decent machines especially with test and new(ish) tyres. But I'm pretty sure I don't live in a 80's cop show so the soft top Saab is a nono! ;)

    Those 2lt Coupe's are lovely to drive if you don't mind a stiff ride. I had on up from Sligo to Dublin once for a spin and I have to say she could move.

    Sellers comment: "The 406 hdi was the best car ever made"

    EEEK!!... Why do people feel the need to write in these sort of bullsh!t comments when advertising a car? These kind of comments tend to put me off as I'd guess the seller is gonna spout bs about other aspects of the car in hand...
