Used car advice

Guybrush Threepwood

Hi, I’m looking for advice- I’m in need of a used car but have no idea what to look for. I’ve had a Suzuki Grand Vitara the last 10years but it’s sadly gone to the big scrap heap in the sky.

My budget is up to €5k, I only want to buy from a good simi dealer, I’ve a love for 4x4s/SUV but understand they may be out of my price range.

I communite to Dublin from Wicklow each day so ideally need something not too heavy on petrol, and something that won’t cost the earth in tax and insurance.

Is there a car out there for me?? Any advice would be brilliant in relation to types of cars or what to look for. I just don’t have the best car knowledge...

Most main dealers will not sell any used cars over about 6 years old.

Are you after a similar sized car to the Grand Vitara?

I wouldn't get too hung up on the SIMI thing, they are made up of member dealers and their priority is their member's agendas. The SIMI don't represent the consumer.

Don't worry about SIMI, not any advantage. Here are a few that might fit the bill:
