WHEELCHAIR GRANT

[mercenary for hire]

Keep running it into the ground.If you wait until it's actually due to be changed your next vehicle could be considerably cheaper.Car dealers are struggling now with the interest rates up so high.

It's not like a newer wheely van is much better than the previous one.They're all still converted vans.The driving experience hasn't really improved for the van in a long time.Who knows by the time the next crisis comes along you might have another age extension.The taxi industry has historically rewarded those who do fuk all when changing vehicles.

I just don't want it to break down some day on route to Dublin airport.
The newer wheelchair taxis are a lot quieter, there is a lot of road noise off my one and I don't have things like air-conditioning.

345,000 miles.

Prices are crazy though, mine was €14,000 for a 5 year old Peugeot partner in 2016. Now I see a 3 year old berlingo for sale for €35,000

When things go quiet you'll still have the payments but not much work.Plenty of brand new taxis out there this morning and feck all happening.I doubt very much 2024 and 2025 are gonna be busier than the last couple of years.

You're right. As I pointed out before, it's almost embarrassing watching guys in €50,000 cars queueing up outside burger joints waiting for students eating their food and negotiating a fare.

No way would I spend 3 k on an engine for a car that will be  forced off the road in 2 years.

I got a second hand gear box a couple of years ago, €320 I think.

I won't be taking out a loan to buy and it won't be a 2024 reg, it will be a 3 or 4 year old.
