Clueless about cars

crumus

I want to buy a 4 door family saloon, to knock about Dublin, mostly, something that I might scrap after say 5years. Where should I draw the line with regard to age and milage. With regard to brands, I've had good experince with Peugeot and I've heard good things about Toyota corolla. What's the best way to contact private sellers? What might be the price range for the above list of wants.

Advice really appreciated

I don't really have a budget. I'm approaching it from the other side... hoping someone will suggest what I would need to spend to meet my 'wants list'. If my arm is twisted,,, I might think €3,000 to €3,500... but less is better.

Some sort of subliminal advertising in the OP?
