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

    Mileage? Fuel? Max tax? Body type?

    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...

    If that one is genuine its a very good find indeed. The nicest colour in them in my opinion, half leather and relatively low mileage. A few months tax into the bargain to sweeten the deal even more. Won't hang around for long I reckon
