Buying ferrari

riddik

what garage would i go to if i was trying to buy a brand spanking new ferrari?

Max_Damage

Charels Hurst in Belfast is the only Ferrari dealership in Ireland to my knowledge.

Mr. Presentable

Des Cullen cars 01 293 8840 used to have new Ferraris. They moved, so I don't know now

The question is Riddik, are you planning on buying a brand spanking new Ferrari?

Hagar

With the price difference between Ireland an Belgium it would nearly be cheaper to go buy it there an live in Belgium without work for a year and bring it back then. Bloody revenue.:mad:

Same can be said for buying cars in the States, example:

Mercedes Benz S500:

USA: $86,175
Ireland: €139,590

yes but once it comes here you will have to pay all the bloody taxes.so it will be around irish price.and you save the hassle if you buy from ireland.
are you sure new s500 is 139k, i donot think so its over 150k min

so that means a no, as if someone wants a ferrari they just go out and buy a ferrari and they know exactly where to go.unlike you:D .

ah we all want ferraris so donot worry you are not the only one.

If you can afford a brand new Ferrari then things like this usually don't bother you.

AJ!

If you were looking to get a Ferrari, Charles Hurst would be the best place to go because it is an official dealer. They will always have the best selection of used cars in the country.
Des Cullen Cars get Ferraris in but you'll always be paying a huge premium whether it is new or used and they can get away with it because they know that if you're looking to buy a Ferrari in the Republic you will most likely have to go to them for it.
Anyway if you're thinking of getting a new Ferrari now, you might be lucky to get it in about three years so...good luck with that

Des Cullen keeps his ferrari's in the car park of the Beacon hotel in Sandyford Industrial Estate.

You mean you bought a Lotto ticket and there's just the formality of the draw before you can place your order?

I believe that these guys www.sportandclassic.ie in Dublin have a lot in stock and are well ahead on the waiting lists for many prestige cars !

Isn't Des Cullen retiring or winding down a bit.........

So is he a car dealer? Just thought he might have worked for a Ferrari dealer. I was just wondering.
By "them" do you mean you drove an F430 aswell?

his son is in the business now, he is not runnning it much himself.he was in the newspaper afew weeks ago saying he likes playing golf etc and son runs the show

Id be more inclined to buy from des Cullen if your looking to keep the car in the republic.

Michael Cullen has very close ties with Ferrari and they were one of the first dealerships to sell a RHD enzo.

I wouldn’t say they have a lack of experience by any means, their prices may seem high but with VRT the way it is Ferraris wont ever be cheap in this country.

I wouldn’t go near one myself, Maserati GranSport any day over an F430

There's no such thing as a RHD Enzo. He had a yellow Enzo which was sold to a friend of his in the UK. He also got the third production F430 which was sold to the Revo250 supercar club.

BRM

Apologies I meant to say RHD F430


I’m pretty sure they have sold a 2nd black enzo as an export.
