Today I saw a car for sale thread - part 2

I would have thought if they have it sitting in the showroom they do need someone to buy it...
Presume after a while they just reg it and put a few miles up as a demo and sell it for a more acceptable price.

Skoda Ireland might have given the dealer in question an extra incentive to buy it into stock. It could still belong to Skoda Ireland also and end up being used as a press car for a while or do the rounds in dealer showrooms around the country.

Import.

Is it really an Evo? Is it not just the body kit.

bazz26

The Shogun name was used instead of Pajaro in the UK. I don't think they made a diesel Evo.

It's just an Evo body kit, and not a very nice one.

They were all petrol and were never 2 tone paint

Is it just me or is there something unsettling about the thoughts of a silent hearse creeping to the graveyard?

Don't want to be waking the dead with the clatter of a diesel hearse...:pac:

Built in (converted anyway) Ireland to be fair

Going out in style with Ireland’s First Hybrid Hearse


New Ford Mondeo Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Hearse is now available


The Deacon V Hybrid, Ireland's first hybrid electric hearse has been launched. Based on the new Ford Mondeo HEV which arrived in Ireland earlier this year, the new Deacon V hybrid electric hearse has been built by Byrne Coach Builders of Dundalk.

Paul O'Sullivan, Director of Sales for Ford Ireland, said: "The new Mondeo HEV is the ideal vehicle to serve as a hearse, with the sleek looks of the latest version of the much-loved Mondeo, it is an attractive vehicle and with its dual electric and petrol engine, it can be depended upon to provide a quiet and smooth ride in the sensitive context of a funeral."

Peadar Byrne, MD of Byrne Coach Builders, said: "We are delighted to offer the Deacon V Hybrid hearse to the funeral directors of Ireland. It really helps to bring the traditional funeral hearse into the 21st century as electric and hybrid vehicles become more and more popular. The hybrid engine is ideally suited for use as a funeral vehicle as it is always quiet and efficient."

Hybrid Electric Vehicles are the most popular of the ‘electric’ models available as they neatly bridge the gap between traditional internal combustion engines and electric motors without the ‘range anxiety’ that some motorists feel in relation to ‘full electric’ vehicles.

The Deacon V Hybrid hearse is based on the estate version of the latest Mondeo HEV model which features a 2.0 litre 187PS petrol engine tied to an electric motor. In effect, two electric motors are used in the hybrid system – one to support the petrol engine in driving the wheels and another to enable regenerative charging for the 1.4 kWh lithium-ion battery. Regenerative charging means that the Deacon V Hybrid, unlike ‘full electric’ vehicles, never has to be plugged in.

The Deacon V Hybrid drives in electric mode at slow speeds or immediately upon start up and then the petrol engine kicks in once the speed increases. And the combination of a specially developed 2.0 litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine and electric drivetrain gives the Deacon V Hybrid excellent fuel efficiency with a fuel consumption rate of 4.2 L/100km.

Mel Rogers, Byrne & Maguire Dealer Principle, said: "We are proud to have been supplying Fords for over 40 years to Byrne Coach Builders for hearse manufacture. I have to say the new Vignale HEV Deacon Hearse is their finest work yet. Embracing Fords new hybrid technology shows how forward thinking Peadar is and we expect this vehicle to be a huge success for Byrne Coach Builders and Byrne & Maguire."

Peadar Byrne concluded: “The Deacon V Hybrid is a great new option for the undertakers of Ireland. More and more people are looking for vehicles that have less of an impact on the environment and for the last journey of a loved one, isn’t it great to be able to now offer a vehicle like the Deacon V Hybrid

Seems like a decent enough price? Dodgy though because it's an import?

Imports aren’t necessarily dodgy. There’s way more of a paper trail on uk cars than most Irish ones.

Just because it's an import doesn't make it dodgy.

In a similar vein I’ve been looking at this 2007 MK5 Gti , it has 10 previous owners and speaking to the current owner he can account for two . Would that be something to worry about as for the ad it looks well and seems to be very genuine

Most Mk5 GTIs online will be owner 8/9/10+

Same goes for stuff like Astra OPCs, Audi TTs etc

Its either for tax, or people just getting bored and selling after a few months
