Continuation from motors chat round 3

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

It says set of 4 though? I think it just alloys you to orðer more than one set.

Is that a mistake? Or the worst pun ever:pac:

Couple of mile from my house. Worst part is I knew the pot hole was there but if you kept over to the left hand ditch you would avoid it. Problem was I hadn't been on that road for a while and it was after getting bigger so I couldn't avoid it. If I had kept to the right hand side ditch I would have missed it:mad:

Lads whats up with Toyota Ireland. Two of their longest serving dealers in dublin are no longer main dealers (there may be more). Linders of Chapelizod is now Renault and Dacia and McCoys is now Seat. McCoys is still a toyota service provider but no longer a dealer?
Anyone got any info to cure my qurious mind. Id have thought toyota would have been easier to sell in this country than Renault Dacia and Seat combined nearly so im guessing they lost the franchise?

Not everyone wants a 132 D Corolla :pac:

Same has happened 'down country'.

Kearys in Midleton (and the city?) were a Toyota dealer for 12 of the 13 years I've been living in Cork and for a lot longer before that too afaik. Changed last year, Renault dealer now too!

Toyota had too many dealers competing for the same business. When I sold them there were roughly 7 dealers within 40 minutes of me.

There's no money in toyotas now that the builders aren't buying land cruisers.

Linders is Dublin’s oldest Toyota dealer and we aim to use our wealth of experience to help you find the right new or used Toyota for you.

Yup.

It will be a while until we see a serious dent in sales figures but (IMO) Kia & Hyundai are doing serious damage to Toyota. Both are putting out seriously good looking and decently built vehicles, and that's saying a whole lot from me as I'm no Asian car fan at all. The new Santa Fe is a stunning looking machine and seems excellently equipped.

Toyota really has become the boringmobile and not all that reliable anymore. Kia & Hyundai have what, 5 / 7 year warranties these days?

Well you have former toyota dealer fitzpatricks with 3 Hyundai dealers, kearys with 2, Murphy and gunn, and hogans in Galway. These guys have a serious amount of repeat business and leads from when they were toyota dealers

I can't believe you said that, car being sold if thats what people think of the marque

I think since kia etc became more trusted, they have become the new car that everone gets.

Or astra's actually, yeah astra's
