Ireland’s newest car sales website that focuses only on vehicles being advertised for sale by Independent and Franchise dealers. With car fraud and scams on the increase in Ireland, predominantly through private classified advertisements, we feel that anyone in the market for a used vehicle should purchase from a motor dealer. The benefits of buying a vehicle from the independent and franchise dealer far outway that of buying from a private person. A motor dealer is legally required to provide a minimum of 3 months warranty with every vehicle sold. Piece of mind that a vehicle has been serviced and checked by the supplying dealership.
