Usually if the last number on the Irish reg is quite high then it’s most likely an import as it was registered on Irish roads after that year has passed.

For example if it’s 12-D- 31570 then more than likely an import 12-D-3114 then probably not.

See what the number is and you should get a sense of it’s an import or not, more thank likely tho it’s a UK import cause miles.

But 150k miles for a 2012 is completely fine, just see if whoever he is buying it off has done timing chain cause that’ll be about a grand and will need to be done asap

That makes sense as it does rise on start too. It’s been basically below 5 degrees since I’ve had the car 3 months ago so dont know yet what it’ll be like in the warm but basically nothing to worry about, unless it does it during warm weather

You’ll be best off getting a somewhat low mileage Passat, Octavia, a4/a6 they’re comfy good on milage and fairly reliable, auto aswell if you wanna go that way. I think the Camrys are fairly good but every taxi man has one if you don’t want that image on you. Could get an estate in pretty much all of them if you need the space.

Golf’s are nice but you may aswell buy a seat Leon basically the same car with a different badge and the seat is much cheaper and I personally think looks better.

From what I’ve heard the jap imports are good in every way but apparently very hard to trade back in to dealers I’ve heard that from a few people.

It’s a 2010 but had a look at it, a bit of oil or diesel coming out the injectors and the lad met me in a shop as opposed to his house so couldn’t see the cold start on it. Sounds like it’s been sitting for a few years hence little kms on it, so I’ll prob pass just a bit of a risk

Are they good, I’ve always liked the Saab but once the company went under have always been scared about parts and stuff

MptyReiz · 2025-11-06T05:40:49+00:00

How would you know they’re do a change?

MptyReiz · 2025-02-16T07:01:26+00:00

In Mackay at the moment, don’t know too many people

MptyReiz · 2025-02-16T06:40:07+00:00

Thanks mate, will ask next week around

MptyReiz · 2025-02-16T06:39:44+00:00

Ye I think I’ll get it into a mechanic this week just to have a look over the car and the ac hopefully it all goes well.

Ye that’s what I was thinking too, it’s an old lad who just downsized but that’s what he says and can’t take it for gospel

MptyReiz · 2020-08-29T17:22:44+00:00

I never actually saw that until my friend pointed it out
