    Strange tom murphys Mercedes display looks better than ever despite looking franchise in near future ..they don't have many used cars as seem to sell alot of cars to the trade . Wouldn't be surprised if they don't appoint another MB Dealer in WD

    I think that Wexford will become the regional dealership and that locally more events / customer days will happen in Waterford like the customer weekend they did at Faithlegg house last summer. I don't see a main dealership in Waterford long term.

    Wonder what will happen to sheehys ? Like murphys their premises aren't standalone but cost millions

    I believe that Murphy's were offered it, but huge investment in light of new sales system, was the sticking point.

    The investment could have been made during celtic years but MB let them build dual franchise dealerships when audi and bmw had already moved away from this

    The Kilkenny dealership that Sheehys are seeking planning for will be for Mercedes after it’s built Carlow will be VW only. Wonder did they try to buy or lease the old Young Motors showroom to me it would be a safety strategy rather than spending several million on a franchise that could go agency

    I would not invest in a car showroom business, regardless of brand.

    Leasing youngs for a few years seems like the sensible thing to do . Then buy it or build a new place if business good . Is there enough business to have a standalone business so close to Wexford ? If direct selling comes in they both can only sell to local area. Bolands seem to sell to a large area

    I asked why and was told the bespoke furniture has not arrived!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,571 ✭✭✭goochy


    Thought that. Sales are not great . I thought Gowans would do a great job boosting jeep alfa fiat . Opel and citroen sales but not happening . Irish buyers very traditional

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,082 ✭✭✭azimuth17


    They have relinquished the Mercedes dealership I understand and are taking Toyota and Lexus.
