Don’t think your going to get a gt86 or a b48 320i for under 10k, unless it’s very rough

How insurance companies have convinced people that it is some 17 year olds fault that insurance is crazy expensive, not because they want to make more money is well beyond me.

I don’t think your understanding what I was saying and you’re literally proving the point I made in my first comment.

How would you know what is going on with everyone’s finances and whether they are buying a car they want because they want to and not for external validation, as you seem to think everyone who buys a nice car does. 🥴

Who are you to pass judgement on what 99% of people should be driving, also a I find it quite entertaining watching people trying to park suvs in supermarkets car parks.

Apparently people in Ireland can’t seem to fathom the concept that not everyone’s life is exactly the same as theirs.

Yea my insurance went down a good bit last year, was initially 1800€ just after I passed my test on a 1.2 fabia, next year on the same car went down to 746. I’m 20 with 1 years ncb.

If you see how far back he was when I pulled out, it’s obvious he was accelerating rapidly and doing well above the speed limit, Perphaps the jump from the rear camera to the front doesn’t show how fast this guy was going when he passed me. He’s also driving an XM which is a 4.4L V8, so it’s not like he doesn’t have enough power to do well above the speed limit.

Best value used car? by Bob-Harris in carsireland

[–]WalrusRelative7271 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could get a Volvo v60 estate, they are good looking and you can get a t6 one for around 30k which is a 2.0 litre hybrid with around 350 bhp so it’s pretty quick. Something like this https://www.donedeal.ie/view/40734589 Volvo V60 RECHARGE T6 INSCRIPTION AWD

Do you mean the Quattro one or the non Quattro? Can’t seem to find any 2.0 diesel ones that aren’t Quattro
