    The third didn't get great reviews on here, search with his name and you'll see a few threads.

    Generally speaking, the clondalkin/naas Rd/ballymount area is where most car dealers in Dublin are. There are a good few dodgy dealers in that area.

    Looking for the cheapest cars being sold by dealers isn't a wise move. Buy privately or spend more!

    Make a check with the CRO. Personally I wouldn't buy from anyone who's not been set up for a number of years. BEWARE of similar company names - that generally means (if one is wound up and another set up) the directors are a dodgey as fook.
