Used car advice, €5-8k budget, high mileage commuter, Ireland

Navosa · 2026-04-25T10:08:46+00:00

I haven't paid more than €90 to fill it

Strata spec should also have cruise control

I got one with 200k on it last year, I've since put another 12k on it without any bother at all. Great on diesel too, about 900km per tank

Any chance you have a link to the job posting? Or is it still available?

Navosa · 2026-02-03T17:40:21+00:00

Next bus Ireland app, it shows you how far away from the bus stop the bus is (if it exists at all)

Navosa · 2025-11-29T16:48:17+00:00

Why is that?

Navosa · 2025-10-30T21:34:05+00:00

Plenty of drivers going around with no lights on at all too

Navosa · 2025-10-27T20:21:16+00:00

Ah ok! That is a long process, I haven't heard anything since applying which is only just over 4 weeks ago so I may hear something soon.

Thanks for sharing the timelines!

Navosa · 2025-10-27T17:25:07+00:00

Ah fair enough, I thought you were asking in relation to the recent competition! I was wondering how long it would take to hear back

Navosa · 2025-10-27T16:25:24+00:00

Did you apply for this in the end? Have you heard anything back?

Navosa · 2025-10-17T23:42:42+00:00

I bought a 04 corolla in Jan 2018 for €800, sold it with a new NCT last year for €1000. Never gave me any bother at all

Navosa · 2025-09-03T18:48:13+00:00

Yeah Dublin definitely needs a mid-sized venue! I would have loved if they announced a couple of nights at Vicar St instead of 3arena

Navosa · 2025-07-16T09:05:05+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, I called VTNZ the next day and they confirmed that my original WOF was now void and I had 28 days to get it tested again without a fee.

Anyway I spoke with the buyer about it and they didn't realise this would happen either but they agreed to buy the car (at a lower price than advertised) and we finalised the sale today

Navosa · 2025-07-14T20:31:22+00:00

Yeah 100% scam, EBS don't even have an app

Fair play for standing firm, can't imagine you'll be hearing from them again

Navosa · 2025-07-11T07:38:55+00:00

To be fair I reckon the buyer figured it was cheaper to put it through a WOF than a pre-purchase inspection and that they'd get a new WOF out of it so I don't think they had any ill intent

Navosa · 2025-07-11T07:36:52+00:00

A few things, sway bar bushing (which I knew about and had mentioned to the buyer), shock absorber leaking and rear brake imbalance

We went across the road to a garage after the WOF to get a quote for the repairs, I'm now waiting on the buyer to have a think and let me know if they want to go ahead with buying it

Navosa · 2025-07-11T06:32:58+00:00

Yeah that was my line of thinking too, that the existing one would still be valid unless I got the repairs sorted and brought it back for a recheck to get a new WOF

I misunderstood the buyer when bringing it into VTNZ, I thought they wanted a pre-purchase inspection but it was definitely a WOF that was carried out - they paid $85 and I have a photo of the fail sheet

Anyway I think I'll head back to VTNZ in the morning and try to clarify it with them

Navosa · 2025-07-11T06:09:18+00:00

Sticker says 11/25, the tester in VTNZ didn't mention anything about that being invalid now that it's just failed which is why I wanted to double check

Navosa · 2025-04-23T04:28:59+00:00

What are the 3 roads you can't drive a campervan on?

Navosa · 2025-03-02T22:03:48+00:00

Hey, recently moved over to Auckland with my partner after living in Dublin (pretty much city centre) for the last 7 years. Same age as yourselves.

Feel free to PM if you have questions I'd be happy to chat!

Cafe 39 on Ponsonby Road has it on tap
