    Charels Hurst in Belfast is the only Ferrari dealership in Ireland to my knowledge.

    With the price difference between Ireland an Belgium it would nearly be cheaper to go buy it there an live in Belgium without work for a year and bring it back then. Bloody revenue.:mad:

    i would call des cullen motors, richford motors, kelly car centre and of course belfast's charles hurst.
    but the main one would be belfast ot des cullen as they are the most experienced

    Same can be said for buying cars in the States, example:

    Mercedes Benz S500:

    USA: $86,175
    Ireland: €139,590

    :eek:

    yes but once it comes here you will have to pay all the bloody taxes.so it will be around irish price.and you save the hassle if you buy from ireland.
    are you sure new s500 is 139k, i donot think so its over 150k min

    so that means a no, as if someone wants a ferrari they just go out and buy a ferrari and they know exactly where to go.unlike you:D .

    ah we all want ferraris so donot worry you are not the only one.

    If you can afford a brand new Ferrari then things like this usually don't bother you.

    If you were looking to get a Ferrari, Charles Hurst would be the best place to go because it is an official dealer. They will always have the best selection of used cars in the country.
    Des Cullen Cars get Ferraris in but you'll always be paying a huge premium whether it is new or used and they can get away with it because they know that if you're looking to buy a Ferrari in the Republic you will most likely have to go to them for it.
    Anyway if you're thinking of getting a new Ferrari now, you might be lucky to get it in about three years so...good luck with that

    I believe that these guys www.sportandclassic.ie in Dublin have a lot in stock and are well ahead on the waiting lists for many prestige cars !

    Isn't Des Cullen retiring or winding down a bit.........

    So is he a car dealer? Just thought he might have worked for a Ferrari dealer. I was just wondering.
    By "them" do you mean you drove an F430 aswell?
