I’ve always wanted one. I know a lad who has an AMG E class and every time I meet him I want to murder him and take his car.

The price of cars has gone loopy.

Was chatting with a fella in a dealership in Dublin a couple of weeks ago.

A fella he knew had bought a van new last year, six months later the same vehicle sold at a 3k profit.


There's some amount of price fixing going on in Cork, but that's for another thread.

Oh no doubt about it.

Although I bought a 3 year old Golf last year and wanted to see if I could trade it in for a new one at what I paid for it or close to given the rise in value of second hand cars. Absolutely no chance. Mostly the rise in value of second hand cars is the selling price and not trade in value.

Yeah it goes without saying you're nearly better off selling privately as the trade in value offer is always crap.

The difference month on month is something else. Know someone who ordered a new car in November. Checked the prices last week and it had gone up 6k.

That said if you ring around the dealers in Cork there can be a difference in 5-6k what you'll pay 150 miles up the road. Goes to show how much the local operators are reefing people.
