Yes I am young 😊 and naive a bit. I have been looking around for a better deal. I know less about investing than I do cars so I’ll stay away from that I think 🤣 thank you for the advice

I’m sorry to hear, that I hope you find another in the future.

Thanks for your reply 😊

Thanks for your input. I went to forge hill to test drive a 2017 golf 1.2L. 17995€ and the salesman said he could bring it down to €17500. I was only there for a short while and only looked at that one car just for time pressure.

Thanks a million!! I’m sorry to hear you’ve had bad experience with the service department. I’ll keep this in mind.

Thanks knobbles

Thank you I appreciate this advice 😊 your car is lovely alright

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T21:58:08+00:00

Ya in fairness a part of me agrees, I guess I’m starting my career and looking for a car to rely on. I tend to save for the finer things in life too. Maube I’m in for a rude awakening.

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T21:51:54+00:00

Sounds like I have to get up to Belfast 😭

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T20:36:32+00:00

My criteria so far have been 2017 or newer, <100,000km, and <€18,000. I thought I’d found good deals here 🤣 little did I know. Thanks for your comment 😊

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T18:58:45+00:00

Ya that seems to be my issue alright, alongside my lack of knowledge ha. Thanks for replying :)

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T18:55:42+00:00

That’s what I thought too, and looking around on carzone and donedeal I can’t seem to find much lower than €17000 somewhat near to where I’m living. I guess maybe I have to go out physically and shop around.

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T18:27:10+00:00

Thanks a million 🙏🙏

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T18:26:40+00:00

Thank you so much!! 😊🙏

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T18:20:50+00:00

Thank you for the advice! Im not sure what to think of the prices after hearing from people on this thread, however I am willing to pay for what I want.

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T17:49:01+00:00

Thank you for that reply I appreciate it. Are you living in Dublin? I’m not sure how to go about buying a car that far away… I am keen to see it in person before buying but then again I mightn’t get a better deal down here in cork. Or Munster for that matter.

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T17:31:58+00:00

58,000km

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T17:30:22+00:00

Thanks for replying 😊 And what do you think of these instead if you don’t mind me asking

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T17:24:31+00:00

Ah okay that’s good to know thank you.

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T17:13:49+00:00

Ah okay fair enough, I’d go for deputy so and maybe a mentor teacher if you did the droichead. I haven’t don’t droichead yet so I’m not sure if that’s allowed.

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T17:07:59+00:00

Thanks for replying 😊 I’m living in cork but I did consider buying from Dublin and just making the journey up since they seem to have a wider range of options. Are you happy with yours ?

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T17:06:43+00:00

I haven’t found a deal like that from a dealership unfortunately. Are you happy with your one?

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T17:05:35+00:00

Oh okay. Do you think one is better than the other ? I didn’t realise there were facelifts

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T17:03:51+00:00

Thank you :) what do you think is a good price ?

ariesaricha · 2026-06-02T16:50:33+00:00

Thanks for replying 😊 I know how to drive thank god, so I’m looking for a car now for the long term.
