First time driver need a family friendly car

tonyheaney

Hi, Im looking to buy a second hand car. My budget is low as I'm not earning too much. For now i would be basicly driving on the school run and perhaps a couple of miles and back. with two kids 5 and 2 i have safety in mind and with not much income coming in to the house im looking for a car below 1.4/1.5.

I have been to the cullin brothers carlow but they ave cars for 300 and above. If i have to go that far i will but im told there are plenty of cars out there for far less.

also if i got a car privet or dealer how would i drive it home if ive not got insurance? I know a man down from me who fixes cars privately and i asked him if he would come and look at a car when i get one and drive it home for me, is that how its done? and if so what do i pay him for the job?

so many questions and brain wrecking crap to do just to get behind a wheel
I'd Just would like to know of anywhere around Carlow that's reliable and isn't too extortionate. Thanks!

Just wondering if you have a school bus service as running a car is very expensive between cost of car insurance servicing fuel tyres ...

No while the school is 15 minutes away i feel it is time for me to start driving and the school run is on my list

You need to get a few insurance quotes on different cars before even considering buying one. No point buying a car and realizing that insurance is too expensive.
