Garages in Co. Galway for second hand starter car?

Ernie84

Hey Folks,

Looking to pick up a 1 to 1.2ltr second hand car.

As insurance cartels/companies premiums are high I'm on a low budget for the actual car

up to 2 grand really, and has to be 2007 +

I've been looking on donedeal but id like to look at some garages too as less likely to be a dodgy sale ...perhaps. (i know most sales on donedeal are grand of course just like options)

Any in the Galway area that do lower end cars but have a good reputation ?

Many Thanks

For less than 2 grand you really are better off on done deal and get a mechanic of friend who knows a lot about cars to check it over for you.

If you check in the motors buying forum there is a bangernomics thread dedicated to cheap cars. Lots of knowledgeable people post in their. Stick up your needs and some one will probably do all the done deal searching for you

Moved to motors Buying section.

For below 2 grand I'd suggest looking through the Bangernomics thread and also the Boards' users sales thread

Don't bother buying off a garage at that price level.

You will get little in the way of any value or cover from buying cars of that low value from dealers. Buying from a private owner is the way to go but make sure you have a mechanic check the car over before buying as buying in this price range is a minefield.

Something like a Peugeot 107/Citroen C1/Toyota Aygo should be easily got within budget.

Please take care and heed this advice.
