Hi,
Looking for advice on buying a diesel car for about €3000 - something economical as have a fairly long commute.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I've had a 2005 2.0 HDi for the past year & half. Seriously comfortable & got 51mpg the past 2 weekends going Kerry-Dublin. I've had very little problems with it. Odd errors come up on display but usually switch off & back on & it's gone (French electronics).
I've just traded the car in to the garage I bought it from in Dublin. It's got 115K Kms (69K miles) & 19 months NCt. Silver with all the toys. Reckon it could be bought fairly right. If you want details, fell free to PM me. Never left me down in 18mths drivins & no problem thru' the cold weather. It's the series2 C5 which is a later(facelift) model.

Thanks for all that. Will have a look out for that model closer to home - living in Galway.
Anyone else have suggestions? I know nothing about cars but need to buy in the next week for new job.
