Best Taoiseach in the history of the free State by a country mile... gave me over €30,000 in used virtual notes... more than I've contributed to the exchequer in over 30 years of self-(un)employment.

You could get another circa €20,000 if you put your mind to it.

Vote Leo, Leo was great so he was...

I'm not sure what drugs one would need to equate spending 5 figures of one's own cash on a car one doesn't want or need to being given 30k in used virtual notes!

I reckon if'n the EV grant is still on the go next year that you will go EV, it's the logical step fer any driver with a suitable car fer scrappage + a driveway fer a home charger + a misses whom drives an ICE car.

On a gross income of 30K, RC will be hard pushed to come up with €24K cash for his next purchase.

I reckon I'll have 24k in the capital account by year end, SB... that leaves a few months contingency. So far I've had to work one Golden Eight hour to meet a weekly target and might well have to resort to the same going forward. Other contingencies include reappropriation of the holiday budget and/or dipping in to the overdraft so I'm not really concerned about finance. It's spending money I don't want to spend that bothers me.

You may well be right, Ken but there's no guarantee that subsidies will be available when I want one. This year, for example, the relevant scheme is already fully subscribed although it will almost certainly reopen in a couple of months given that c.29% of applications actually result in grants being issued. What the options are aren't of huge concern to me TBH, I'll go with the flow in that regard. Either way i.e. new EV or decent second hand diesel I doubt I'll get out on less than my €24k budget.

Considering my last car cost €12k, it's a huge commitment by comparison and I don't, in any way, equate being forced to spend that kind of money to replace a perfectly good car as being given free money in the way Dr. Leo gave us free money in the form of PUP and PTSE.

Bring back Dr. Leo... Dr. Leo was great so he was....

A few things to consider in your case Stephen, firstly lets not forget about Mrs Catcher whom if'n you go EV and have to use the MK111 fer the scrappage grant, then she is still stuck with the now very old MK11 as opposed to upgrading to the MK 111 if'n you buy the 2nd hand diesel.

Also the price of used vehicles has gone nuts since Covid/Brexit but at least if'n you take that option then Mrs Catcher gets her updated MK111. On the down side of that is that you only get a partial 10 year licence.
