    I'm looking for an automatic estate type vehicle
    for my artist wife. Does anyone know of a reputable used car dealer in the limerick area.
    Thank you for your advice.

    Enterprise Cars have more automatics than most, and are as reputable as most I suppose.


    Here's their stock, filtered by gearbox to automatic only, ordered by low-high price:

    Would you consider buying in the north?
    I bought two cars up there, both way cheaper and better spec than anything you'd get down here. You're talking saving probably €2000-€5000 depending on what you're looking for.
    Of course you'd have to pay VRT, but if the car is a few years old then it should still be cheaper than buying here.

    What’s your budget?

    Find the car first, then worry about the seller. What you’re looking for is a specific niche car that most places won’t have.

    Most don't have filters for "artist" when searching though.

    I bought in Feb 2019 from Charles Hurst in Belfast, Automatic, Diesel, although the VRT rules have changed to make petrol as attaractive. One thing to be careful about with Auto is that the oil change on an auto box is pricey and therefore is sometimes delayed / skipped by an owner who is planning to move the car on. Dependant on model and year and whether you do a simple change or a hot oil filter / clean and change its a few hundred euro up to a thousand. Just bear that in mind.

    "Sincere used car dealer". This is a good example of an oxymoron.
