Has anybody dealt with this guy in the past? Does anybody know if they supply the auction sheets with cars imported?

Thanks.

jus

you would be lucky and prod the first not many have auction sheet ur better off importing urself mate.

They wont give you the auction sheet for most cars.

the only experience i have heard about them was a friend who bought a Civic Sir from them. It was clocked back by at least 20km.
Might not have been done by them, and probably a lot of imports in all garages are clocked, but thats my only experience with them.

Garage clocking is a very concerning epidemic, There's alot of sussy mileage cars out there. Shame there's no service like HPI over here.

I wouldnt go near sean byrne as he advertises most of his cars on 2 or 3 different company names on carzone.Look on carzone for yourself and most have different milage but its the same car

Don't we remember from a recent dodgy dealer that the mileage differences are due to laziness and not because cars get clocked!

Could that have been the Civic IMA on ebay with 76, or was it 67k miles on the clock, the seller not being too sure. Or could it have been that lad in Tandy's Lane selling a Volvo with 42k miles on the clock, but really had 162k. Or could it have been...

@Tanabe, you were selling an ITR in Waterford a while back?

Seth Brundle

IIRC it was the former.

thats just ludicrous, fecking hate stories like that. The majority of poster on here will probably notice tell-tail signs of ware, but most buyers will take the dealer at his word, and buy it.:mad:


My mate who bought the civic from them found out when he got the car home and took the air filter off, on the side of the actual filter was a sticker with 65km wrote on it. The car millage said 45km.
He gave them a rollicking about it, and they offered to refund him the full amount, but would give no discount, so he kept the car anyway. It was sill in perfect condition and 65km wasn't that much anyway.
The fact that they clocked a car with low millage was in itself stupid, had they have given him the auction sheet and possibly service history from Japan, he would have probably paid more in the first place. I would prefer a car with history to a lower millage car with none.
