    Hello all

    As the title says, which Dublin dealers offer warranties on used cars?

    So far I only know of one (Jim Rock Motors in Loughlinstown). Are there any others?

    Cheers

    I have rang maybe 5 dealers and none of them offer warranties, so it's definitely not "all of them".

    (I should mention I'm buying a car around the 1.5k - 2k mark, which might be the reason.)

    At €1.5k to €2k, you're probably better off buying private.

    Nonsense, a three month warranty is the minimum they are legally required to give.

    You think I am making it up? :)

    Is there really a legal requirement for at least a three month warranty? Any links to something official on this would be very useful.

    Thanks.

    see here
    The judgment, made by the president of the Circuit Court Judge Matthew Deery in a faulty car claim, effectively means “no warranty”, “sold as seen” and other get-out clauses – which some car salesman have been known to fall back on when confronted by disgruntled customers with steam coming out of their ears and their engines – are legally meaningless, particularly if the salesman talked up a car’s good points to secure the sale.
