My dad contacted them to say he'd have to go with another garage as he needed to buy a demo straight away this was November and that he couldn't wait till January for a new one. Salesman was like sure we have 2 demo golf vans here 1k cheaper than the next cheapest demo straight price. We went up to look the one he bought had 1k km on it they agreed to give him mats and fitted vw mudflaps (200 euro extra on a golf) then when we collected it they put a full tank of fuel in it and then the salesman seen I had a mk5 golf and gave me a set of genuine vw mats too without even asking. We left I was like so how do they actually make money. No doubt it's through repeat business. It's the first place Id be heading to get a replacement for my current car.

My dad started by emailing them as he was working in the uk at the time and couldn't call during the day. The salesman really went the extra mile he answered email after email my dad had with questions. They were the cheapest by a long way in our case. Just the attitude they have is great if it's possible to do it for you they will.

We left there and headed across to the Skoda and Volkswagen part. I've to head down to Cork in the next few weeks, I'll certainly make sure to take a detour to have a look at that garage My local Vw dealer, Tom Harvey, is a tad bit expensive but he is 100% honest & reliable and would do anything just so your vehicle is A1 again.

Bpmull wrote: » Yep lovely car alright. I'm not trying out you of them either that's just my experience with them. They sell plenty of cars so some people must fine them good. But if your local dealer is good then for handiness it probably worth buying them although I suppose it all comes down to price let us know how you get on with them. My dad bought his golf in newmarket in cork and the service you get down there is unbelievable I never experienced it in any other garage. That morning there was someone there from galway, Limerick, us from kilkenny all collecting cars so it does show that they are attracting people from all over ireland.
mhackett102 wrote: » Wow, thanks for letting me know! The salesman is suppose to get back to me on Wednesday with details of a car so it'll be interesting to see will he. To be honest, I'll probably deal with my local Volkswagen dealer if I am getting a Volkswagen as I know him v well and has a very respectable history! Either way, the Golf that was there at Lahart's was a smashing car

My parents never actually bought a car there well my dad had a deposit on a car years and years ago and when he went to collect it they had sold it to someone else. When my dad was buying a golf van late last year he said he'd try them again just because they are local they gave him a cash price he came back a week later to try do a deal they had jacked the price up 1000 euro and said the last price was a mistake. We brought our octavia into be serviced it had one warranty issue they said they had done up a report and sent it to skoda to see if it would be covered turns out they never sent the report to skoda or even documented the problem just lied to us about. I could think of another 4 or 5 problems we had but I'm not going to list them. Parts department is useless too and overpriced by 30-40% on other main dealers.

Bpmull wrote: » I live about 3 km from that garage and avoid it at all costs wouldn't go to it unless I'm really stuck for parts I normally try buy parts in vw carlow or cork. My parents have had way too many bad experiences there. Is there not a fairly good vw garage in tip.

You're right in saying the 9n2 polo is very very dull, but in reality although the 2010 onwards model is styled a little better on the outside, the interior is still very bland. Selling your 9n2 and buying a 2010 1.4 diesel fiesta would be nice imo.

Im after findind out that I could sell it and buy the 2010 model for the same money, the only difference is that it'll have a couple of thousand more km's than whats on mine! Does anyone know what the 1.6tdi engine is like in the 2010 model car or what they are like to drive? (Thanks in advance!) *These are photos from google, mine is a black 5dr with no alloys - the 2010 i'd be interested in would be similar to the second photo
