I’m not keen on it mate. It’s not at the scam end of things, but you’re locking yourself into a replacement cycle that may not suit you. 3 years down the road and being forced to put your hand in your pocket to buy a car you’ve already driven for 3 years would be very painful - and if you could afford it then, you could probably have afforded a different decision at the time you acquired the car. So you’re down to the other 2 options - walk away, but then you’ve no trade-in for your next acquisition, or buy again but you’ve to come up with another deposit.

Spot on.
Also, if Vat registered being a sole trader or a Company business then it may make more sense. I’m quite surprised that so many private buyers are going down this route as opposed to HP.
How so lad? I’m not too well up on this stuff
Most businesses can write off a purchase of a company vehicle over 5-7yrs if put on Lease or HP. Plus the injection of the reclaimable Vat can be useful too.
The PCP is more private owner driven in the UK, plus it has been a great boost to Irish motor dealers being able to buy 2 year old cars that the Finance companies are happy to offload.

What’s your problem?
Let’s have a chat here like adults. As I said I don’t have the energy for the constant sniping. It’s devaluing the tfk experience for me.
any chance you’d answer the question instead of sniping away there, like a good man.
Lads has anyone ever used homelinefurniture.ie ? Heard anything about them? TÃ 8n advance Cc @carryharry @Brimmer_Bradley @caulifloweredneanderthal @Mullach_Ide anyone else?
Larry O’Keeffe Furniture in Clonmel has a son called Brendan who runs this online sales site. Doing well apparently but other than that info I can’t tell you anymore.
He should be well experienced in the trade but haven’t a clue what his stock is like quality wise.

Did you look at your manual?
Could be a fuel injector?*
*I know fuckall
DPF issue I’d say.
Engine management system prevents it revving above 3000.
Ignition Coil would be my guess.
Happened to my Yaris a while back. I worked out it was the coil by taking out the fuse to clear the warning light. Start the car. Take out the ignition coils one by one when the engine is running. If the coil is GOOD there should be a loss of power (of what little power it had). If the coil is BAD it should continue as it was as if nothing happened.
Didn’t know they made a diesel yaris.
This was my thinking
Happened to herself a few years back. She just drove the car for another 4 years, completely untroubled. Sold it for £400 then.
Much to fix?
Edit: Sorry, misread your post
DPF is dear iirc. 600 notes at the time. Driving miss daisy noticed no change in performance any way
