Hi lads,missus is looking at changing her car and has an 08 swift sport 1.6. Car is red with fsh,second owner. 104k kms on the clock. Tax is 390 per year and cheap insurance. Cracking motor. What do people think it's worth? Also is it something anybody would be looking for? Cheers lads!
When is a for sale ad not a for sale ad?
Hes well entitled to post an ad here since 2013if it were an ad
Check donedeal charlie to get a solid idea on prices
Realise it sounded like a for sale ad, not my intention so my apologies. I'm just wondering as considering trading it against another car and wondering what I should pitch it at so it will sell without giving it away. Anyone had any dealings with Deerpark motors mount merrion?
Based on Dd I think a trade in value of €5,500 would be ok. Deerpark are ok - only ok. My 330 was there before I bought it but it needed a few bits to be done to prep it for sale and make it look right which they didn't want to do.. I ended up buying the car as a trade sale and did the work myself.
Similarly, I looked at an e92 m3 there before I bought mine. It was a nice car but looked a bit tired and there was a story behind it. I ended up buying my one from Beshoffs instead.
I got a car through Deerpark at trade before and they were very decent. The owner is a friend of a friend. Saying that I would always look any car over with any dealer.

So having spoken to Deerpark for the last week and chasing him because he doesn't ring when he says he would a few times, we agreed on a trade in value on the Suzuki this morning. I said I'd travel from cork City with a view to buying the car, using up a day of my holidays and a tank of fuel only for his secretary to ring when I'm 30 mins from him to say the car sold. To say I was raging is an understatement. Is it just me or is that very poor etiquette? He knew I was coming. Ended up buying a car in morrisons in cahir on the way home who stayed on for half an hour after they closed so we could see the car. Car was a grand cheaper,they gave an extra grand trade in allowance and full two year approved warranty etc. needless to say I won't ever buy anything off Deerpark. Looking online this seems to be a regular occurrence. Rant over but the missus is delighted in the end so happy days!
That's a pain, and entirely avoidable if they'd handled the situation differently. Glad to hear she got sorted though.Originally Posted by Hankcharlie
Just out of interest, what did she buy?
That is shocking behaviour, I would be fuming. At least you got something sorted at the end.

Thanks gents! I was wondering if I was out of order getting so mad but what a waste of time,effort and money. I missed the turnoff on the way home with the red mist having descended!! Seems no honour at play anyway. He had a 123d with 12k miles. We ended up buying an 08 120d coupe,lovely tight machine. Would that be 163 or 177bhp would anyone know lads? Thanks again,nice to vent! The fact his secretary rang confirms to me he knew himself what he did was wrong.
