choosing used car

I'm looking at a 2014 Ford Focus 1.6 diesel Titanium or a 2013 Volkswagen Golf 1.2 turbo petrol. What should I buy? I don't do a lot of miles, just drive around town. So confused.

I am in the market to buy my first car. I have looked at a 2007 Volkswagen Polo for €5,500 with 80,000 miles; a 2009 Renault Clio with 50,000 miles for €5,500; and a 2007 Opel Corsa with 110,000 miles for €4,500 (all 1.2). It is important to purchase a car that will help to keep my insurance and maintenance costs low.

Any advice on these cars or others that I should consider would be greatly appreciated. Is the best method of purchasing through a dealership?

I am looking at a second hand Saab 9-3 Ttid estate from 2011. Should I be worried by the fact that Saabs are no longer in production for parts etc?

Hi,

I'm looking at a 2014 Skoda Rapid. I don't see many of them around so unsure what to do about it.

I'd like to see reviews of the Ford Focus Titanium.

I'm looking at an X-Type Jaguar, around 2008 or 2009. Are they worth looking at? Or should I look at a Mondeo or Passat?

Hi,

Would you go for a 2011 1.2-litre Skoda Fabia (89k miles) or 2012 Opel Corsa 1.0-litre (69K miles) or 2011 Renault Clio 1.1-litre as a second family car/run around?

Could you tell me if a Dacia Sandero is a good car... or should I stick with a Skoda Yeti? I'm looking at an ad on DoneDeal.ie

Thanks
