Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Advice re small car purchase

    Hi,

    We need to get a 2nd car, due to a change in family circumstances, we just want to get a small runaround for short trips in and around town. We are currently looking as VW Polos; I'm not allowed post links because I'm a new user but there is one on adverts.ie in Galway, that is a 2004 1.2L VW 5 door hatchback Polo, 47,662 miles for €3,250. Or there is a 2nd hand mini on donedeal, 3 door Mini One 2005, 1.6L Petrol with 60,000 miles on the clock, it has a NI reg the add says VRT will be €550 and the car is advertised for €3400.

    I was just wondering if anyone has any advice as to which type of car would offer more reliability, are parts for one a lot more expensive than the other? We had a VW Passat before that problems with the electrics, the memory of the alarm going off consistently in the middle of the night is still fresh in my brain!!

    Or is there any other type of car you would recommend, max budget about €5000, (less would be better), with lowest possible mileage and low motor tax,

    Any help much appreciated,
    Kind regards,
    Helga
