Looks like an import judging by the reg!

Thanks

Looks like an import judging by the fact that they rounded the miles rather than kms on the odometer.

Would you not get a 12 reg Clio for the same money?

I reckon its a Irish car given the reg is a relatively low number for Dublin also the spec is low enough too. I think most dealers just round off the miles anyway I always do anyway when selling a car....

Id say you could get a 12 reg for that money but the fiestas always seem to go for more.. How much are they new? 15k?

But if the clocks are in kms, and say, it has 32468kms, youre not really gonna calculate what that is in miles, and then round it up/down.

Powered by Carzone or the like? They still have miles as the main distance thing with KM secondary.


Treacy's do a lot of work for us and are very, very good. I'd usually see at least one of them during the day in the office. Wouldn't have any hesitation buying from them.

They could do with learning to spell.

I'd imagine they use the word "excellent" in quite a few of their ads, so they should get it right. If they're not sure they should look it up, especially as it is highlighted in capitals in the headline of their ad.

It's an Irish spec Fiesta alright. The Irish spec Style had alloy wheels and front fog lights as standard. The UK spec Style didn't but had air con instead.

personally i wouldnt buy from them, my brother had a new timing belt fitted by them incorrectly and it screwed the whole engine,before that i used to get my car serviced there and they were very expensive

Personally, that sounds like utter sh1te to me.

They have done a lot of timing belts for us, and I don't remember a single issue. Treacys also do work for other large leasing companies - if they were not very good, or expensive, they wouldn't get the work.

Probably the most glowing reference though is that I let them service both mine & the wife's cars :pac:

Looks like an ex hire drive to me. My guess is there's 20 Fiestas out there with reg numbers in a sequence within 20 digits of this one. Wouldn't put me off the car though it does give you good fire power to haggle with :)

utter ........?!!!!!!! tell that to the person who's car was wrote off because they incorrectly fitted a timing belt, and what do leasing companies have to do with this thread?
