Default New member on a mission for a low mileage saph. (Northern ireland)

Hey guys,
New member on here. I'm 22, from northern ireland and after putting it of for the past year or two, I've decided to start saving for a real clinker of a cossie.

What advice would the cossie owners on here give to a newbie looking for a sapphire?

The one thing I am worried about ois the fact everyone tells me they break down all the time. I am not a mechanic, so paying somebody to fix my car every time it goes wrong does worry me a bit!

thanks

if you get a decent one in the first place mate and look after it then they dont have to be unreliable plenty of people on here will agree as long as it looked after properly it will be fine you'll love it mate

Aww I know aghadowey like the back of my hand, spent many many years fishing in the area.

Hopefully I'll see your cossie about sometime and I can have a chat with you about it. Really looks the part.

I am not sure who owns the moonstone one, I seen it twice last summer pulling into a house just down the road from me. I live just between ballymoney and dunloy.
