Hi Conor,
The critical thing is to get the car history checked by a service such as Cartell.ie. Buying from a private buyer obviously leaves you without comeback in the event of mechanical issues, but you could consider an aftermarket warranty. It's the history that's the important bit. If there's anything of concern or if there is outstanding finance payments, walk away. Plenty more out there.
