Default Only 2 official dealers now

Guys,

The list shrinks again - doesn't really do much for competition though when shopping around?

Donnellys - Boucher Road, Belfast

Desmonds - Moira Road, Lisburn

McKeary Motors - although they're service & parts only

So if you want a new car, you've a choice of 2 dealers to go to?

I bought a wrx300 from donnellys 5 weeks ago. Had really bad after sales but turns out the salesman was a gimp and was suitably sacked. I have since been dealing with paul donnelly. He has bent over backwards to help me. He took the car back and is giving me a 2004 sti, new 18 prodrive wheels. only 12000 miles, it really is mint!! I am getting it for £16000. It was on the forecourt for £18995 !! I dont collect it till tuesday so I have been driving around in their demo, white 06 wrx with prodrive spoiler and 18 in prodrive wheels for the last week. I couldnt ask for any better service. I would highly recommend them to anybody!!!

PS why are the subaru prices so inflated over here. The main land seems to be around £1000 cheaper on every motor. I though about going over but liked the idea of seeing and test driving here.

Since I moved from Ford (say nothing) I have been dealing with Eastwood's for the last 5 years, they are excellent, and yep my next motor will be from there too!

Yup eastwoods get my vote, Have had dealings with donnellys in the past and i have to say the service was good although they do like to stick the arm in... Got my pff7's from them at a great price though

I noticed about the prices over here as well, I've looked on auto trader and there seems to be alot better selection at better much better prices, just hard to find one that hasn't been booted everywhere!!

I agree, its a captured market over here.
I went to the mainland and got a 55 sti 2.5 type uk(first balck one in the country) saved a few quid,brought it home and bought a set of
ppf7's of donellys at a fair price £1k for the wheels and got a good deal on tyres(BF goodrich's).
Best to source it from the usuals like autotrader then get one of the engineering garages to check it out(£150)and autotrader even have an HPI ect for about 6 quid.
If your happy do the deal and a cheap ticket of a buget airline and your sorted.
And yes it was worth the little bit of extra home work!
