Beshoff Motors

I passed this place the other day - seems to be a new dealership set up near the old Techrete premises in Howth. It has a strange array of half interesting older and newish stock, some of it a pretty low prices - Jag XJS, Bentley Mulsanne, Focus ST.

Does anyone know anything about it? It it legit or is there something fishy* about it?

*sorry couldn't resist.

Sounds like a bit of a cod.

colm_mcm · 28-03-2010 9:47pm

a lot of the cars are battered,

Hal1 · 28-03-2010 9:51pm

That's some array of cars. I just hope theres no chips on the paintwork as I think that would dampen their value.

Mr Benevolent · 28-03-2010 9:52pm

I pass it regularly, seems to be mostly high end cars, all fairly expensive. There's a nice Mercedes coupe and a Jag etc. It does look a bit dodgy though.

<insert fishy pun here>

E220 Coupe

Suspiciously cheap?

colm_mcm · 28-03-2010 9:59pm

I haven't seen their new plaice, but it's supposed to be impressive

trad · 28-03-2010 10:01pm

Did you do a trawl to find them? Not a sole in the plaice.

PauloMN · 28-03-2010 10:16pm

Wonder is the owner a bit of a shark? Wouldn't want to buy a red herring now.

Had a nice Manta in recently. They also do aftermarket chips. Salesman has a mullet.

Lucky man to be alive. Anyone asking for a test drive will no doubt be driving away from Howth harbour.

Has he still got his sea legs :pac:.

alexmcred · 29-07-2010 3:19pm

Surely the mini he went for a swim in has been scrapped.

Must be a mistake that's it's still up

Maybe you did old chap but when a virgin user uses his first post to wax lyrical about a business I'm afraid I'm a little suspicious;)...

Holy mackrel!

Listen, I've had my fillet of these bad jokes, and I can't tell if our new visitor is a bottom feeder, angling for new customers or just codding us with his good review.

I'm sorry to mussel in, and it might seem a little shellfish, but this thread is bound to lead to g-reef.

Zombie thread closed.
