These are dirt cheap to insure usually. Not glamorous, but perfect for someone starting out IMO. Up in years too so won't be looked upon too unfavourably by the insurance cartel

Maybe some of the people here could help me out. I'm trying to find a starter car for my daughter, she's 28 on a learner permit, her budget is 1500 to 2000 at a push. She'll be starting from scratch so something insurable is most important. Her partner drives so travelling a reasonable distance from Co. Wexford for something decent can be done. Any help would be much appreciated.
My head is melted looking at cars tbh, her first preference is a Clio, wouldn't be my choice but that's life eh?

Hi,just and idea

In that price range, she's going to be looking at older cars and insurance companies won't insure her, as she's on a learner permit , so can't drive on her own yet. And getting back to driving tests may take a while with the current situation.
Best bet would be to get insured on her partners car and save up till she has her test done and buy something newer.

Good luck with it anyway

one of these,the aygo,yaris,sirion, all the best of starter off cars imo,fiesta aswell

punisher5112 · 21-05-2020 12:20PM

If doing long distance I'd look at auris diesel or Clio or megane or fluence.... 2009 to 2011 should pick up at that budget.

Might be surprised at insurance as won't be ancient either....

almostover · 21-05-2020 12:38PM

Hyundai should be cheap to insure and would be reliable: https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/hyundai-i20-11-20-nct/24644701

Very clean focus with a nice spec. The 1.25 engine may bring insurance up though: https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/ford-fiesta-2008-zetec-1-2-l-nct-full-history/24618334

VW fox with very long NCT. My sister has one, it was her first car also and insurance was very reasonable. It's been relaible too, just one HT lead has been the only mechanical replacement: https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/08-volkswagen-fox-1-2-nct-amp-tax/24449378

Something a bit out there but I really like it. Bar the fact it has had 8 previous owners: https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/08-twingo-1-1-gt-irish-car-/24078578

Duke O Smiley · 21-05-2020 12:47PM

Never realised the Fox was sold here new, always thought they were all UK imports

325i with claimed 40k miles, NCT til September and tax til June, €995

Seems a bit too good to be true? Especially with the miles, but its from a dealer, so who knows?

bazz26 · 21-05-2020 01:07PM

It's a gamble alright, a cheap BMW can end up being a very expensive car to own. It does look very tidy though.

Future classic, price will only go up.

Gone to €1500 in just over an hour.

Thanks for those suggestions I'll send them on to her.

Sir Galahad · 21-05-2020 02:41PM

How do you look up previious NCT history and mileages on the NCT site ?

User1998 · 21-05-2020 03:29PM

You can’t, you need to do a history check for that

bazz26 · 21-05-2020 03:37PM

You cannot afaik. You can only check when it is due it's next test.

Nice car but an exaggeration to say an 06 325i will ever be a classic.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 21-05-2020 05:52PM

There’s a red vehicle check light on on the dash too. There’s something up with it but it could be anything... (or nothing) might just need a reset.

All the same for 1000 it would be worth a punt if you a fancy 6 cylinder fun for a while. Definitely beats boring 320i and 320d anyway.

She should have insured herself as a second driver for a year or 2, that's what I did under my mother's policy and I got a discount of AXA from €3k to €1600 when I began to take my own policy.

Do you wanna buy my fiesta by any chance?

*256,000 km Mileage
*Ford fiesta 2008 1.2 Zetec Steel 2 with Sunroof
*NCT until 01-21
*Road Tax 06-20

*Timing Belt and Water Pump done @ 240,000 km
*Two front tyres only purchased last September
*New air filters fitted in
*4 new spark plugs fitted in
*Oil and filter changed @ 248,000 km

Still does around 40 mpg, Mainly use it for work commute, mostly motorway driving, M1 and M50.

Where are you based? Her partner is only getting going on a vectra diesel (first years ncb) after being named driver so they won't insure her.

I am going to replace the fiesta one way or another it is already going out - burning oil and gearbox are quite rough, I will definitely check the car out first and if it's alright I will try and trade my fiesta for it. Then I'll have some cash aside if the renault needs servicing.

I wouldn’t buy that one.

Your here plaguing people constantly for advice because you want to change the fiesta as it's past its best and needs money spent on it.

Then you turn around and try pawn the car off on someone else on the forum. Terrible form!!

Personally, I wouldn't touch that car.

That red car on a lift signifies it needs a service. Probably hasn’t been reset properly

Can you suggest a good reliable, inexpensive to maintain petrol car for every day use?

Maximum value EUR2000
Minimum engine size 1.6
Bullet proof tank engine that can take a hard beating ride and can be abuse to an extent.
Easy to maintain without sucking my wallet dry.
A little touch of comfort is a must.

Tidy looking 3 door Starlet, tax til August and NCT til October, €950

Looks very tidy. Nice little runaround if you could add it to a classic policy

Mad_Mike · 22-05-2020 02:45PM

I see he has another one behind it in one of the pics. Its up for same price, but it's a 1992 and no mention of NCT on that one
