Adjust the price, there's plenty you can afford.

Aye, in the US.
If it's 2-3k USD to ship a pickup from the US to Ireland, I can only imagine what a peterbilt truck would cost.

Would look cool parked outside the gaff though!

Question for yas, how much good faith would you expect from a second hand car dealer, outside of a 3 month gearbox and engine warranty?

The new car has a few niggly issues with comfort access not working properly/driver door not always closing, poor fm reception at times, a 3d-like shadow on the rear view mirror etc.

All the above are not technically covered by warranty on paper and I could probably fix them myself, but would you expect them to sort/contribute to the above issues? (after 3 days)

The way I see any deal on non brand new car - Buyers beware. You can try, you are not going to get hit in your face, but I would not hope much. If anything would be even promised I am pretty sure it would be one of those " oh yeah, we will get sort it out next week" * infinite loop.

In fairness when I mentioned that I couldn't get the door closed on several occasions, they instantly said they would take it back in on Monday, I suppose it's a fairly fundamental thing to be able to close a door. But I'm just wondering if other things are worth mentioning and what's crossing the line.

Well, knowing car salesman, if you want stuff done as a part of sale get them to do it before sale, as as soon as they got your money you are in "next week" zone.

Try, like I said, the worse they can do - say No. Its not like its your Lady telling you No. You wount be waking up besides your used car dealer for the rest of the life.

No harm in asking

It'll come down to
-how much you spent with them
-how much they made on that car
-how much the repairs are lightly to be
-how important it is what you think of them i.e with good experience will you recommend them to someone else/are you lightly to use them again

Crossing the line? Fookin A I would say it to him. You only have it three days and spent a fair wedge of cash.

Knowing that dealership I would hold out more hope with them than with most of a goodwill minor repair. They deal mostly in high end stuff and word of mouth so I would reckon they could at least do something.
Let us know how it goes VM

So.
I'm sitting in work and I realised something, cars are a hell of a lot cheaper in the US than they are here.
I hate reminding myself of the additional taxes and shipping costs that makes a $2k car a €5k car landed.:mad:

I need to make some friends in america so that I can get the vrt exemption :P

I think cars are a hell of a lot cheaper anywhere else (except NZ as we've seen) than here!

Not necessarily.
Alfa gta's go for at least half the price of an equivalent in the uk.
Anything with a big petrol engine and low mpg is dirt cheap here as well.

New cars are way more expensive here, but older big engines cars are cheap.

They're taking it back in the new year, fair play.

Nope, still flat out at work so will be up soon. One serious and two half serious enquiries so far.

There are exceptions of course, I was speaking generally.
