Brilliant and straight forward

Brilliant and straight forward, James got in touch about building my website and he presented brilliant designs and ideas and I didn’t have to change a thing. James is always available if I do need to change anything and always very helpful. Top class.

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for leaving the review on the platform.

We would be more than happy to offer some advice on how to improve the chances of getting the messages you are looking for.

One of the important things is how the presentation of the car is & from looking at the advert I can see there is only 4 images uploaded. There is 3 outside & one inside.

CarsIreland.ie recommends a minimum of 15-20 images along with a video of the car. To compete with the standards the dealerships are setting along with other private sellers this is key.

The car is priced well & this might just be the missing piece to the puzzle.

If you have any other questions done hesitate to contact me directly: james.murray@carsireland.ie

Kind Regards
James

Making wise decisions

Reviews give a valid insight into new or used vehicles,
Whilst reviews are helpful before any purchase of any vehicle for considereration

Some steps to consider

1-obtain a fully legitimate inspection
2-be patient
3-take best practice advice from a reputable qualified technician
4-don't pay a deposite until inspection has been fully carried out
5-barter best price
6-have a reputable search undertaken of past history check
7-don't make rational decisions that might otherwise leave you in a compromising situation
8-barter for a few extras every one is willing to give leway to crack a deal
9-never pay cash or cheque use a bankers draft make shore you receive legitimate receipts
10-make shore you have the correct data of the vehicle your purchasing

All to often a sales reps will indever you to part with your hard earned cash,
A good sales rep will focase on the sale thus give the client time toconcider decide his / her interests before proceeding.

Be vigilant alert

Never purchase on line until you are shore the above is in check thus your happy to proceed.

Best experience

When my car was stolen, I needed to rent another car straight away but I didn't expect to receive the stellar treatment I received at Sixt Dublin City South (particularly from Alex). When I explained the situation, Alex made sure all my needs were accounted for and that I had the peace of mind until I found a new vehicle. Thank you again for everything.

A lot of ads are not up to date especially private ads. Also some dealers give no price only POA

Reply from CarsIreland.ie

Hi John,

We are sorry to hear about this. I can assure you that the dealers/sellers are always encouraged to include the price & never put down POA as this is not useful & will certainly deter any interest. In regards to the adverts not been up to date we hear you on that also as there is always adverts been left on site when there sold.

We cant stress enough to dealers to take down sold stock.
