    Hi,

    I am quite new to Ireland nd I am looking for a used car. My budget is 5500. Looking for a car that would cost me less in terms of inusrance and maintenance nd I have to opt between Yaris and Opel Corsa. Which one shall be inexpensive to maintain? Do I have to get the car checked by a mechanic when buyng the used car from a dealer? Is there anything to be suspicious about if I go for a 2004 model car that has changed owners four times? I would appreciate if anyone could advise..:)

    Thanks...

    I'd go with the Yaris over the Corsa. More reliable and nicer to drive too. Should probably be more economical also.

    4 owners wouldn't bother me at that budget so long as the car checks out. There's never any harm getting it checked out by a mechanic if you are not mechanically minded and garages and private sellers usually wont have a problem with this
