I think you're the only other member of this site that I've been able to find in the Republic. I've been away for the last few weeks though so maybe a few others have joined since.
I had to go to Cork to pick up the 1.8ES because I'd been waiting 4 months for a Garage in Dublin to get one in and the date had slipped back to the end of JULY! Kevin O'Leary in Bandon in Cork happened to have one coming in in Nighthawk black at the end of May so I snapped it up. Fle down on Ryan Air and drove back up.
The VRT is a killer! We should be taken to court by the EC for it. What really annoys me is that you have to bay VRT on equipment that makes the car safer. So VSC on the Focus in England is STŁ250 but in Ireland it's €1250!! It's shocking.
Anyway, If you're looking to buy in Cork I really can't fault Kevin O'Leary on their service. The whole deal was problem free and so far so has the car.
