202 G 145 I think
Met it on the road a few hours ago. Skoda Kodiaq Beautiful colour. Greeny blue

R.O.R

Actually saw one in the wild on the way home last night - Black Kodiaq Sportline with a very low 202D2XX plate

Few knocking around here, but nowhere near the amount there usually would be.

Saw my first 202 today, a red 202-C-1xx Fiesta. Sorry I didn't deem it worthy of getting out my phone to take a pic

New Transporter, it’s a credit to the designers of T5 (The T6 is basically a refreshed T5) from 17 years ago that the T6 still looks fresher today than it’s much newer rivals.

GeneHunt

I managed to get two today, I saw another white golf too (202-MH-60), but the owner was sitting in it

The Audi A7 is class

On Monday, just outside Blessington I saw 202WW1. A Volvo tipper truck which is not surprising given the amount of quarry activity in that area.

Lord Mayor of Blessington probably.

Ive heard a few people saying that the latest transporter is made of chocolate compared to the model before.
Bushings galore needed at tiny mileages.

We picked up our new family wagon at the weekend. Ateca FR 1.5 TSi 150ps. Very impressed with it so far.

I've oddly seen more new 202's on the road for this first 2 weeks than I did for the 201's back in first 2 weeks of January.

A lot of folks ordered pre lockdown (myself included). Cars sarted arrivibg in the country in June. Most folks who could sat on the registration / delivery until July.

Picked this up on saturday, have started a thread on it in the EV forum to see how we go, Audi E-Tron 50, im happy with the reg nice and easy :P

No photo but I saw a 202D reg Land Rover Defender driving around Churchtown. First impression was of a Japanese or Korean concept for an SUV, didn’t look very rugged, v shiny with colour contrast bumpers.

These will be great in about five years time when they're €2k

With the Lockdown, I think a lot of people decided to hold out until 202, I'm expecting the sales for July 2020 to be about 15% to 20% higher than the sales for July 2019.

July 2019 (24,681)
July 2020 (29,561)*

I'm not Michel de Nostredame, but this my prediction!!!:o

I read that the sales for the first two weeks of July are actually down 18% on July 2019 so it looks like a lot of people have probably held off on purchases with the economy in the state it is in.

The VAT reduction will knock a few quid of new cars. Should help on the double as VRT calculated on VAT inclusive price, so it too SHOULD go down.
(If I'd known I'd have waited, but c'est la vie!)

fabsoul

just VRT today nice but not 202

GusGus

How much will new cars go down in September? Sales will be dead for August

I'm not going to put my reg plate on here but this is a 202 I'm about to pick up on Friday

Has 200 bhp and weighs 170kg I think.

I think IL go race any car in Ireland and see who wins lol

I know it's not a car, I love cars more than bikes but thought was worth posting.

Be a long time before I can afford a car as quick as this.

Even allowing say 80kg for rider, thats 800 bhp per tonne.
Cant see anything on 4 wheels getting near that.

Anyone any idea how the sales figures are coming to end of the month ?

Well I was way off on my prediction!

Paul, your info was much nearer to reality!

But it is mad, as I've seen soooo many 202 reg. already this year.
