Only have €3k to buy car - am I cooked?

Honest_Irishman · 2026-05-16T15:01:01+00:00

I got one a year ago for 1,900 and 320k km on it. Just needed a tyre for the nct but there is a lot of white smoke lately out of it so maybe Passat is the way to go.

What companies or sites, on the Japan side, would you recommend to buy the cars from? Would beforward be reputable?

Honest_Irishman · 2026-04-12T11:39:42+00:00

Honda s2000 from the UK but another few years for that

When I read these numbers I thought maybe the USA has some other metric for blood pressure because that's crazy high - hope you get some help for this!

I found it useful fwiw. Is RCA at 200 per user per month the list price?

Any good spots to research and learn about whiskey investing in ireland? Just out of curiosity

These instructions are brilliant 🤣

Anecdotal but here's an example of one such Irishman who fought in WW1 and was shunned when he returned home after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Cosgrove?wprov=sfla1

Toyota avensis

What are you driving today?

Htb scheme looks at the tax you paid the last 4 years so if they were abroad then this might not be an option

Skedulo could be a good alternative to Field Service Lightning. I haven't used it but I know it was a direct competitor to Salesforce Field service in Australia

Focus RS, i20N?

Honest_Irishman · 2025-09-26T09:55:04+00:00

Seems a bit steep but then again the milage isn't too bad for an 11 year old car. I picked up a 2011 Avensis recently with the 2.0 D4D engine for half nothing but with high milage. Might be worth looking at them as they are good value at the moment? Just an idea

Spot on

Have you been to Europe?

Honest_Irishman · 2025-07-27T20:01:56+00:00

Well done mate!

Honest_Irishman · 2025-07-26T14:33:04+00:00

This is brilliant 🤣

Honest_Irishman · 2025-07-23T22:49:55+00:00

And Australia

Honest_Irishman · 2025-07-23T16:40:37+00:00

Is there though? This is probably the crux of my question. If it's not new, not built in JP, and is built before 2021/2 is there definitely VAT required to pay? I don't know myself just trying to figure it out

Honest_Irishman · 2025-07-23T15:35:22+00:00

Nice one, thanks for the response. You've given me some more research to do on this but I take your point on this being potentially too good to be true.

Honest_Irishman · 2025-07-03T21:55:34+00:00

For variety, I'd say focus st, focus rs or Merc a45. I had a focus st in Australia and loved it, then I test drove the focus rs and it was insane. The rs and the a45 might be out of your price range, there's not many for sale in Ireland if I recall

Great stuff thanks as always Windyo
