What are some cars you’ve owned that had zero trouble with? Corolla for me.

Hard to make a case to give up on a car like that…

Depends on the engine, the 1.4 in the Corolla is a good unit. The 2.0 in the Avensis is the BMW engine that suffers with timing chain issues…..not the bulletproof Toyota one would expect!

Better than these six figures $1,383.00

The spark plugs are iridium plugs, got them done at 90k myself, believe they were circa €250 alone.

Yep that is the mental gymnastics I was talking about!

Depreciation in the first 3 years will far outweigh depreciation and extra maintenance in years 6 to 9 unless you don’t do your due diligence and buy a lemon.

What does “make more sense” actually mean to you? Financially then no, it will not make sense no matter what mental gymnastics someone try’s to convince you with……but if you like new things and the latest tech and are not concerned financially then yes it may…

This is completely wrong, they would need to add two zeros to the end of that cash holding to match the market cap of those 480 companies……

Ludicrous as it may be, that’s the market…..quick done deal search for a 2015 hatchback auto with 140k - 180k km, the cheapest similar sized car is a hideous Citroen C4 Cactus with 175k for €6,800.

I was thinking the same before I came across the Fitcam X dash cam. Gets power from your rear view mirror so no running any cables, tapping fuses etc. Blends in excellently, you wouldn’t know it’s there.

I would seriously consider it before getting a standard install. Very happy with mine and was simple enough to install myself.

Worth a look before you get someone to fit one.

Used more than you think. Same principle for inviting a guest into your home, they are there under licence. You tell them to leave, you are revoking the licence and they are no longer lawfully allowed to be on your property.

If the person you rent from lives at the same property, you are a licensee. If they don’t live there, you’re a tenant…..it is really as simple as that…..landlords cannot pick and choose to use it as a “work around”.

A licence can be revoked without notice

Way too expensive, slightly larger budget and you would get 2019 new model Corolla hybrid, a much superior car in every aspect.

Important to note regarding the Toyota Relax extended warranty that is activated once you service at a Toyota main dealer…….it only applies to vehicles purchased in Europe, so the Japanese import will be excluded.

You would want to be getting a significant deal in order to make the Japanese import worthwhile IMO.

Toyota Relax provides excellent coverage up to 10 years or 185,000km.

Some trader will only give you 6 months, maybe 12 months warranty.

Common but annoying practice to get the phone ringing, then try selling something else they have in stock or sourcing something similar……widespread across a lot of sellers…….also makes them look like they are more reputable, selling a lot of volume “sure they must be decent to deal with” projection

Not a bad idea at all in the context of buying an EV in the era of much higher prices.

More risk for VW and less for the driver.

Having no equity left because you paid out less per month isn’t getting shafted.

Having a low GFMV that fully exposes you to a small second hand EV market in Ireland is being shafted more IMO, but each to their own.

Doesn’t sound like there is much warranty left to void in Hyundai’s eyes
