It's mostly main dealers that advertise on carzone, hence the high prices. More independent dealers and private sellers advertise on donedeal. Are you looking to buy privately or from a garage?

If your only looking for a car to do 1 trip a week to Limerick and running around Dublin, a petrol would be ok. I find my diesel not much better for city driving over a petrol, my wife has a petrol car.

I drive a skoda octavia myself with 115k on the clock and have had no mechanical problems so far. I get between 800-900 km,s for a full tank which costs roughly 65-70 euro to fill up.
