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?

It's a bit far away but she should have trouble free motoring with this...

That’s lovely. They have aged really well I think, a great 4 seat cabriolet option.

passatman86 · 22-05-2020 05:22PM

Would 3 get in the back of the a4 cabrio

There’s only 2 seats in the back

passatman86 · 22-05-2020 05:32PM

Yeah just searched Google images
Definitely 2 in the back

Not a Renault fan myself but I know these along with the Megane III have their fans here and hence why I'm positing - shame there are no interior snaps.

I recall the Audi 80 cabriolets used to be asking serious money altogether - even at the same vintage of that A4 then back in the day - seemed extortion. Maybe it was because Princess Diana was tipping around in one at one stage or something like that which was holding prices sky high. The A4 cabriolets seem to ask right handy money these times by comparison.

Never even looked at the civic we thought she wouldn't get insurance. Surprisingly the insurance is less than the Clio. She's going to look at one closer in the morning, hopefully it's decent.

Civic's are bomb proof reliable and were ahead of their time, surprisingly good on juice too.

07 Epica petrol, NCT til November, €650

Low miles, good tyres, auto box. I've a bit of a soft spot for these, this seems like it could be a decent buy

colm_mcm · 22-05-2020 08:43PM

V6 as well?

Duke O Smiley · 22-05-2020 08:47PM

Straight 6 I think

That’d be an unusual configuration, assuming it’s transverse. Volvo would probably be the most common example of this.

First line from the Wikipedia page for the Epica:

Daewoo's XK straight-six engines were designed by Porsche

So you can tell people you basically drive a 6 cyl Porsche

colm_mcm · 22-05-2020 09:06PM

So was the gearbox in my FTO

Had no noticeable effect on women though.

I’d second the civic! I have a 1.3 myself and it’s never asked for anything apart from a caliper which needed to be replaced, they don’t normally stick on that model. I just got unlucky! Just the roof is a common issue with rust. So opt for a glass roof model. That’s the only thing I’d change about mine.

CoBo55 · 23-05-2020 04:08PM

Got her sorted with a nice tidy civic, the one in Kilkenny was sold this morning, they went to look at another one in Waterford, 2007 taxed until October nct January 21, mileage on the high side 200k, all in all a grand car for 1250, it'll get her on the road and starting to build up her NCB. Thanks for all the help guys.

Very well spec'd 4motion Passat TDI with NCT til November, €700

A bargain at that money if it goes and stops in a straight line IMO

Bigmac1euro · 23-05-2020 08:15PM

This seems like a daycent price taxed as well

Mad_Mike · 23-05-2020 09:33PM

God I dunno, even with the tax included, 1000 Euros for a 2004 petrol A3 is still well above what I'd be paying
It seems a good honest ad, I'll say that, plus he has owned it for the last 8 years, but I can't see him getting that kind of money for it
There's an almost identical one under it in Donedeal (Same colour, 3 door also, same NCT expiry, same mileage) but no tax on it and it's €495
