I haven't purchased or had any dealings with them, but have called in for a look at the cars. The day I called the guy was busy working on another car, but was happy for me to look at any of the cars and happy to chat about the cars in stock. They had mainly Japanese imports, with air conditioning, low mileage and rust free shells. Prices are probably higher than similar Irish or UK imported cars on the likes of Carzone.ie, but may be in better condition.

Take your time and do plenty of research before you buy.

You could call in for a chat with them. See what they have in stock and what guarantee is on offer. There are a couple of other dealers on Carzone.ie offering both Japanese imports and Irish cars which should give you something to compare to

A few club members have bought Jap imports from various sources, perhaps some of them could comment on their purchases.

Kev,

One trend you can't get away from by looking in the For Sale section is that prices of Minis have dropped to a more realistic rate. It's definitely a buyer's market. If you are paying top whack for any Mini, make sure it's absolutely spotless and maybe bring someone along with you who knows Minis inside out cos there's loads of choice out there at the minute.
