    See merlin are advertising a relocation auction next month at right price cars Prussia street . Could be some good bargains ! Wonder if right price are really moving and are overstocked or are they closing down and just operating one place in Dublin and one in cork ?

    I bought a car of right price cars at the start of the year. They had a lot of stock. I'd say they had problems shifting it and there was a lot of stock on the forecourt

    I'd have my doubts. Imo if there were any good bargains then surely the trade would snap them up.

    Just bought there yesterday (at right price), have to say I was shocked by the value there, I'd never considered an auction before, I brought someone who knew a bit about cars to look them over and ended up getting a 04 Leon with 44k on the clock for around half what I'd seen online on Done deal or what have you. I know there's a risk involved but I'm sure as hell going to a few auctions next time I'm buying. There's some serious bargains about!

    Well done and good luck with the seat , but I'd hardly call 3000 inc fees half price for an 04.
    Nice straight low miles car you bought though.

    Jaysus that's some fine work there Sherlock! My deerstalker is off to you! :-) It was 2650 with the fees, so €800 off I suppose, I was going by other cars I saw online with more mileage. That was a really good spot there Biggus, at least I know what it'd go for now. Its a lovely clean car though, runs very sweet, did you have a look at it yourself? Where did you find the photo btw?

    Yeah that quoted price from a done deal ad, not a dealer, so there'd be no guarantee to waive for less. Cheapest dealer offering I could find was 4k here with twice the mileage:
