Hi,

I am just wondering if anybody has had any dealings with McCaffrey Auto Sales in Kells Co.Meath.

Am looking at upgrading the car so am just wondering if anyone has any previous' with them, good or bad.

Cheers.

Did you end up dealing with this company in the end? I am currently thinking of upgrading and was looking at potentially dealing with them.

Well here's my experience.

Late last year I decided it was time to change car. I started looking around and quickly discovered that every Tammy, Deloras and Henrietta (it is international women's day) seemed to have set up as an importer of UK cars. I knew exactly what I was after (UK spec not available here) and there were a few to choose from locally from such establishments. The problem was they were all, to my mind, very expensive. Even after a likely negotiation they would still have been expensive compared to going to the UK myself.

However, I then came across the McCaffery site. He had exactly what I wanted at a very competitive price. So I did my sums, comparing like for like, and figured that it definitely wasn't going to be worth my while to go to the UK myself. So I bought from him. Delighted (immaculate condition, full service history etc) with my purchase off I went with a piece of paper that also said I had a 3 month warranty.

About six weeks later I'm driving along when suddenly the dash lights up like a Christmas tree. I got onto Paul, no problem says he, I'll sort you out. Without any hassle, he took the car back, gave me a replacement and sorted everything. Between me being able to get the car back to him and the time it took to sort out the warranty was almost up. But his parting words to me were any problem with that car, don't worry about the warrant, come straight back to me

Hi All,

I am thinking about purchasing a car from this seller.
@sully2389 & @AH2016 did you end buying from this seller?
If so, how was your experience? Any issues with the car you bought?

Thanks kindly,
Luigi

Many thanks
