    I was just comparing basic one, but that might be Dacia Sandero Access levels of luxury!

    Isn't a non-sense to buy a brand new pure fossil car in 2021?

    Probably, but that's not in keeping with the spirit of this thread. I'm not in a position to buy a new car this year, but I'm happy for the ones that can. It's been a disaster year... Bring on the photos!!!

    I also thought what a terrible name for a car but don't get the hate for the car itself. Yes sure Ford could and should sell it cheaper here but otherwise it's not that bad looking and if your worried about spotting your car in the car park no problem with the EcoSport ex it's so tall also I doubt he drives that fast so the hfight does not bother him or body roll but he obviously did not like the hi tech complicated Focus's anymore.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    But you like stuff like the Opel Mokka, Suzuki Vitara and Ssangyong Korando though so...

    :D

    Actually I preferred the Vitara when it was bigger thought ot was a strange decision by Suzuki to downsize it but never the less it is still a very well equipped good car just not great engines now as Suzuki seem to have gone a bit crap there.

    The Mokka well the brother in law has one got a great deal on it and yes it's actually not bad at all. It has a nice classy dash with soft touch plastics and lots of chrome, It drives decent is comfortable and quiet too.
    The Korando I think deserves a chance. I actually preferred the style of the dash in the one before this one before the revamp it had style but this one does look kinda classy but sure could be better in certain ways too but still it deserves a chance and so does the new MG cars.

    Peace and long life.

    Drove past Audi Limerick and BMW dealer beside it today. Both open for business.
    Judging by number of cars driving into the retail park beside them, level 5 restrictions don’t make much odds to people anymore.

    Have a Renault Captur S Edition ordered which I’m told will be delivered early January.

    Just got a call that we can hopefully pick up the car on Tuesday.

    I had a call too, ok for next Saturday I was told.

    Is collecting a new car deemed to be essential travel?

    I doubt it but just tell a lie if you have too like going to help your mother or gran parents or something or doing shopping for them or something like that sure as long as you are only going there and back and not interacting with anyone else you should ne grand. Just be prepared.

    Its a 260 mile round trip for me.

    Im not sure I'd be able to spoof my way out of it tbh. This will need some consideration.

    I honestly can't imagine any guard having a problem with that journey, have your email/paperwork with you. You probably won't even be stopped, I wouldn't even worry about doing that trip, just my own opinion of course.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,086 ✭✭✭✭elperello


    Garages are definitely only allowed to open for service/repairs/parts under Level 5.

    The link is to a statement from Nissan Ireland.

    Was gonna pull the trigger on the new Skoda vrs but the dealers wouldn’t have it in til lens of January. I’ll wait till next year to buy now. One whole month of not having a new plate would absolutely wreck my head. First world problems eh

    Spoke to dealer again there now. They said they are operating on click and collect, contactless, with virtual handover by video.

    Will send me an email to confirm I have a click and collect appointment. Said if I’m turned around by a Guard, we can reschedule to another time.

    Sure when your new car is only on a new plate for 6 months your right too. An extra year for you to save up a bit more and maybe next year you will be one of the first with a brand new car on your drive.

    If they Re released the manta or the mk11 escort wouldn’t it be great.
    With the exact same spec as the originals.

    These fella's in Wales can build you a brand new 2021 reg Mk2 Escort. They have one finished and road legal in the Uk....

    Yesterday as I watched a couple struggle at an ESB charge point for 30 mins before they were able to start charging I can tell you Ireland is not ready infrastructure wise

    Not sure how people not educated in charging a car is an infrastructure problem. The answer to EV ownership is a home charger anyway.

    Virtual handover with click and collect? How far are you travelling?

    Niece is buying a new Merc CLA. Thats exactly what she was told as you said above. Car pics online and detailed (its one year old), she had a virtual tour, same i think for her car as a trade and deal done.

    We got a 202 in early July, was contactless collection then.

    First world problem - our car seems old now there are 211 plates around lol.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    Looking at getting my first brand new car.. haven’t been in contact with any dealer.

    The wife has her eye on the Peugeot 5008 7 seater. Anyone any experience with these cars or recommend new 7 seaters.

    She currently has a 08 Toyota 7 seater. Is trade in / scrappage still around?

    Lovely mark 11 that red one.I’d say it’s north of 150k sterling.probably closer to 200k.
    You’d be afraid to rally that.
