Recommebdations for second hand car dealers in Carlow

J_Wholesale

I'm looking to pick up something around the €2,000 range - Fiesta sort of car. Can anyone recommend any good dealers in Carlow, who won't knowingly sell me a piece of crap?

Thanks.

I just purchased from Bolands recently and I'd definately recommend them but for your price range I'd try Tom Rice. Look for him on carzone

Alternatively you could try Brian Reynolds. He's operating out of Green Acres. He deals in repossessed cars and vans. Some good bargains to be had. I can pm you his number if you want.
As for dealers i'd try Mcdonalds on the Tullow Rd, where Sam Moores used to be.

I was wondering what that was. What range of cars does he have?

Are Sheehy's any good? They're a main VW/Audi dealer, so I wouldn't expect them to be the cheapest in town, but do they have a good reputation?

Everything and anything. Cars, vans and bikes. Usually from 03 upwards. Last time he was there he had a 05 Focus going for €3,000

+1+1 to that. They really are excellent there. Can't recommend them highly enough.
I had a problem with my car (Volvo), they are the main dealers for Carlow and KK. Even though I didn't buy the car from them they treated me like one of their own from start to finish. And gave me a courtesy car to drive while they were working on mine which they did not charge me for. Problem was fixed and they did not roastmeone bit as regards the bill. Mary and Bobby there are excellent.
And I will return there I have to say and will be top of my list come changing time. No wonder so many cars around have Bolands stickers now. And far better than so-called cheap independent mechanics I have dealt with.

He deals in repo's i.e sold as seen. normally has great stuff out there but lately all his cars have been going direct onto dealers yards instead.
he can be hard to contact, you kind of need to catch him in the yard to get him.

Don't call to his house because I've heard he won't deal with you at all if you do.
But he is normally a sound guy..

I went to Sheehy's when changing my car. The sales guy looked at me like I was something on the sole of his shoe. Never, ever setting foot in there again, AND he lost himself a nice bit of commission that day. :rolleyes:
