Hi,

As the title states has anyone bought from PA Moore Car Sales in Clonmel, Tipperary?

http://www.pamoorecarsales.com/

If so, any issues?

Looking at picking up a car...purely as a runaround car i.e. drive to train station, picking the kids up etc etc.

Thanks.

He's been selling for quiet a while now and Ive never heard any bad comments about him. He advertises alot of his stock on donedeal. I'd deal with him anyways

Cheers mate. I've just wanted to check out. I've my eye on a Renault and maybe 1 or 2 others, purely as runaround cars. I work in Dublin and don't really want to deal with private dealers (and they probably don't want to deal with me either LOL).

No problem. I live in Thurles but I am in Clonmel a fare bit and I've never heard a bad word about him.

All I would advise you to do is a cartell.ie report on the car. It would be recommended by most people to do this on any car you are prepared buy!

He operates out of a garage on the Waterford road near Dunnes AFAIK.

Cheers lads! I do be down in Thurles a lot so no biggie to drop down to Clonmel.

I'm not really sure about that I know a few people who have bought off him and have had a few problems with the cars. I've never heard any good comments about him.

There are a lot of garages around Thurles that would do similar cars to what Pa Moore would have in stock?

The only risk I can see from Pa Moore is that he is only into car sales. So if anything happens the cars engine, then he would refer you elsewhere to a garage. This would be very time consuming and you would feel as if you are getting f**ked over to be honest.
(I have never heard this story from this garage, but have heard it from other Car Sales places)

@mhackett102 - well if you want to PM me some of the places in Thurles I can check them out, cheers. I'm also looking in Portlaoise as well, might try Roscrea.

Hi there

Just wondering how you got on with Pa Moore car sales? I'm considering buying a car from him and wondering what his cars are like. First time using this so I hope u get to read it!

@Derekblake - went down & took a look but decided against buying there in the end. No particular reason. He seemed pleasant enough chap also. I ended up buying a Toyota Avensis in Portlaoise a few weeks later.

I dealt with Pa Moore car sales recently and had a good experience. Pa's son, Clive, sold me a car. I waived the warranty in order to buy the car at a cheaper price so I don't know how the after-sales care is but for the viewings and the sale itself, I found him very good to deal with. He gave me all the time and space I needed to check the car and do all the tests I wanted to do without ever making me feel under pressure. He also went out of his way to promptly get copies of documentation, VIN, VRC etc. to me so I could verify the car details. He didn't give me any "sales talk", wasn't pushy and was fair and reasonable in agreeing the price.

I googled him when I was deciding whether to buy the car to see if he was trustworthy. This thread came up in my search.
