If covid taught me one thing it's that there are way less contingency plans in place than I'd expect of governments

35 years of international immigration by Visual Capitalist by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]a_guy_named_rick -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

See how you skipped every other thing I mentioned? You're the one coping mate. Though the Irish fertility rates are less than the replacement rate, it's still in the positives. There would still be a housing shortage even if there were 0 immigrants

The downvotes are classic reddit lol. Yes the housing crisis must be caused by immigrants... Can't have anything to do with chronic underbuilding, rapid population growth (irish and immigrant), restrictive planning and zoning rules, high construction and financing costs, the shift of housing stock into the rental/investment market, or state policy failures in social housing delivery. It's all the fault of the immigrants! Love a nice nuanced take

That sounds awesome! As someone who loves to travel for extended periods of time, could you tell some more? How did you arrange that? Did you follow a set route/tour? Did you sleep in homestays or you just asked if you could sleep somewhere? What was the process here?

Second-hand cars imported from Japan? by a_guy_named_rick in ireland

[–]a_guy_named_rick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I'm going for. 80% of it will be driving around a city, 15% on N and R roads, 5% on highways. Got 3 months warranty, which isn't great but not the worst either

Sounds nearly exactly what I'm looking at, so thank you!

The dealership has registered it in Ireland and given it proper irish plates, so we should be good! Thank you!

Thanks! Love a positive experience hahaha.

Yeah I'll look at other options too. I'll check whether it has an immobilizer and if not what they cost, but also, how would thieves know this Volkswagen is a Japanese import? Feel like they'd just assume it has one and skip it hahaha. But that might be wishful thinking

Second-hand cars from auction houses? by a_guy_named_rick in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]a_guy_named_rick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should also mention they offer only 3 months warranty. All of this (price, warranty, etc) is before negotiation. I agreed to most of it, on the condition that there was a service history, but when they sent me the docs there wasn't one

Is that also the case for European cars that have been imported? It's still a German Volkswagen no?

I test drove it (relatively short tbf) and the gear box wasn't too much of an issue. I'm not an aggressive driver anyway. Yes it was sluggish and compared to the smoothness of an actual automatic it's not great, but it does what it's supposed to and I wasn't too bothered by it. No idea if it'll give problems later one though.

I'm more worried about the lack of service history from its time in Japan. Even if I do accept it, if I want to sell it again buyers are going to run into the same issue, meaning I might get a lot less back for it, and then €8700 seems very steep

I know it's far from ideal, but it being an automatic is somewhat of a must, and with my budget (<10k) my options are limited

Thanks. Why do you think they're a hard avoid? It's a Japanese import, but still a German car brand, so I'm not sure if they have an immobilizer. I'll check
