    Just looking for any used car dealership recommendations in Dublin or Kildare/Meath borders even? Just looking for a non cowboy business where I can get a decent secondhand car. I will use a car check and prob have a mechanic look at it also.

    About 10k. Ideally 2016/17 car if possible.

    Are you just going to buy whatever car they have in stock even if its not exactly what you want?

    Find the car you want first and then investigate weather the dealer selling it is reputable.

    If your getting a mechanical check and a history check you shouldn’t have to limit yourself to only a few dealers

    Fair point but to be honest I don't think given my budget that I'll have a huge amount of choice so if I knew of a reputable dealer I'd probably happy to find a decent car there and go with that.

    For 10K I'll confim you'll have a good choice.


    What are you looking for?


    Will you be commuting, school run, popping to shops?

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles or cartons to avoid the DRS fee.

    Some kind of hatchback. Have a Punto currently which is absolutely fine for what I need it's just pretty old at this stage. I commute a short distance to work. Wouldn't be using it for a long journeys much.
