    I just got finance of €8k to look for a car. I've a 99 Nissan Alerma sport that i could offer as well. I "might" be able to add a few hundred but not a lot.

    The bank has said the following

    Must be at lease an 06 car.
    Must be from a registered dealer.

    I want something with 4 doors and low mileage something under 60000 KM would be nice,

    I was hoping for an Honda Accord or a BMW. But i think the BMW will be out of my price range.

    I want something nice,
    leather/Half leather seats
    Air Con
    Cruise control
    something over 120bhp would be nice but not essential


    Thank you.

    That 1st Honda is top of my list. I've been looking at it the last few days online. I've been working and am working until Monday so i hope to see it soon.

    I dont know much about the Peugeot 407, What is lama leather ? Also doesn't say anything about Air Con.

    The accord is the best to be honest. I would get that myself and I know when I saw the luna leather myself I was :eek:

    +1 on the Accord aswell but they are 2.0 Petrol. That one looks pricey for a 06. I would not touch that Peugeot with a barge pole.

    Just to add that a 12 year old Almera will be worth sweet feck all as a trade-in to a dealer. They will just buy it from you for next to nothing and pass it on to the trade. Sell the Almera privately on the likes of donedeal.ie, good clean and cheap cars in this price range are selling well.

    With no trade-in you will be in a better position to negotiate a better deal on a newer car and you will have some cash in your other pocket from selling the Almera.
