    www.patkeogh.com is having a on-line auction of BMW's and mini's.
    He's promising up to 50% off ( Mind you the reserve seems a bit high).
    Knock yourselves out in a orgy of mouse clicking to get the car you deserve.

    Looks bogus to me. He already has several bids just a bit under the asking price. Yeah right :p

    Ya there seems to be a bid on the M3 he's had since the start of the year, alot of his prices seems to be fairly closes to the retail, and i don't see any 50% off lol...

    Some of his reserve prices look a touch on the hopeful side for an auction.

    LOL. They must think people are fools.

    I reckon the bank who paid for his very posh BMW showroom might be looking for their money about now.

    But we're not fools, it's a car auction, and they are definitly 50% off and the cheapest prices in Ireland.

    they really must take us as absolute tools......his reserve prices are a joke and way way above of what you'd pay in this day and age walking into a dealer with a wad of cash.

    The horrendous 2 tone grey view when you click the "browse our stock" button is enough to hurt my eyes and make me close the tab.
