15-10-2013 06:44PM#1Hey guys, so my uncle has arrived in Ireland yesterday (another Pole to steal your jobs
) and he is going to need a car, basically a cheap runabout that wouldn't be too hard to maintain by himself (he's a mechanic).
His budget is €2k. My recommendations were:
- 2001 VW Passat 1.9 TDI
- 2004 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI
- 2001 BMW 318i
- 2001 Audi A3 1.6
Is there anything better than this in this price tag?
No french stuff, he's very stereotypical - as in fixed a lot of french cars back home.
Finally something that's not for me
PS. Back in the old country he used to own a 2005 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Estate Automatic.0

I honestly think that they come out of the factory with the dent in the wing
It's on every one of them!
And BA is correct, doesn't have that looked after feel, maybe its the shortness of the ad or whatever.
You'll also get far cheaper ones!0 -

If cost is an issue then polos/yaris/fiestas of 10+ years old cant be beaten. Old diesel mondeo type cars are also goers but one has to accept an additional 1k a year in tax and tire , maintainance costs over the smaller petrol machines.
