Can anyone recommend a garage for a cheap second hand car?

    Car got stolen last night and getting married next month so its crap timing (not that its ever good timing). Need to get a car with an NCT that will do me for a few months, will look into getting something more long term after the wedding. Im living in Kildare but would like any recommendations of good garages or sellers - have been looking at private sellers but if anyone has any good places please let me know.
    Thanks

    If you're in a bit of a rush to get something cheap I'd advise you buy private, check out donedeal.ie or adverts.ie if you tell us your budget and requirements I'm sure a few cars would be suggested for you on here.

    Cheers folks, budget would be around €1,000 and would be looking for about 1.3L to 1.8L. Not too bothered about make, colour, shape etc, just needs to be in good working order and not a Fiat (I had one before and never again).

    You seem to have, very quickly, written off any chance of ever getting your car back aren't you?????

    Are you sure you didn't 'steal' it ;) . . . . . . . . .

    At this price, private is the only way.

    Something the current owner has had for a long time
    Lots of nct left
    Proof of maintainance
    Year and mileage not too important.

    Mazda 626
    Honda accord
    Toyota avensis (pre 00)
    Mazda 323 1.5/1.6

    Im not writing off my chances but with organising a wedding next month i have SFA time, hence why im trying to line up options so that i can get my life back on track as soon as possible rather than waiting and then having to do it later, thus taking more time. The reality of the matter is I need transport to get to and from work (public transport is not an option as it would require the guts of 5 hours travel a day), my hire car expires this Friday so if i haven't got word about my car I need to get something sorted by the weekend, i have no alternatives if I want to keep my job and I also have a ton of other bits that need to be done this weekend too, so any work i can do in advance will greatly help me.

    Just an FYI, you cant steal your own property as I cannot steal what is mine; the definition of stealing is 'to take another persons property with permission or legal right without intending to return it'
