Car buying tips, market trends, and expert advice
Selling a cheap car privately in Ireland? Who sends the VRC, why the motor tax stays with the car, the papers buyers expect, and how to get paid without being scammed.
A 2020 Puma mild hybrid pays EUR 270 a year in motor tax; the same engine from 2021 pays EUR 200. Engines, tax by year, the oil-bathed belt, Irish recalls and what to check before you buy a used Ford Puma.
A used Leaf can be the cheapest way into an electric car in Ireland, or a poor buy with the wrong battery. Here is how to tell 24, 30, 40 and 62 kWh cars apart, check battery health and ask about the warranty.
Two Kugas from the same year can cost EUR 140 or EUR 600 a year to tax. Here is every version's tax, the recalls with Irish numbers, and the second-generation automatic to avoid.
Every RAV4 engine we could confirm uses a timing chain. What matters on a used one is the drivetrain, the motor tax table it falls under, two Irish recalls, and an unbroken Toyota service record that carries up to ten years of warranty.
Every Yaris engine uses a timing chain, so there is no cambelt bill to budget for. What matters is which of four gearboxes you are buying, the motor tax on each version, the recalls, and the service history that keeps the hybrid battery cover alive.
Ecosteer connects you with quality used cars from trusted dealers and private sellers across all 32 counties.
