Hello everyone on FTO-Ireland. Just joined up, looking to purchace my first FTO...In the mean time I'm lovin all the info on this site, really helpful.

Welcome! Take a look at the buyers guide at http://www.fto-ireland.com (column on the left) if you haven't already.

Thanks kevinod i'm liking a lot of the ones i'm seeing for sale, but as i read in a previous thread, i'm trying not to rush into it. I'll be going to england in two weekstime so hopfully i'm trying to arrange to see a few over there too.

Nice one tymeless, have you any picture up on the site i can look at? Are you using it for everyday mileage...how are you finding it?

hey dreamer how are ya,
haven't got a pic up yet but will add 1 soon. ya i'm using my fto for everyday use and find it perfectly fine.....absolutely loving it.......what part of Galway you in..... i know theres 1 car dealer who's suddenly decided to sell a few fto's in the oranmore area.........

dreamer i could actually be in around galway city the weekend if you wanna take a look at my fto.........

Which car dealer in oranmore is it, wouldn't mind having a look. I live 5mins walk from town. Near Claddagh.

grove car sales in oranmore had 1 a month ago. by the time i got up to him it was sold...... he said he got so much interest he's gonna import some more soon.........

Cheers for that, went out there this morning, and thought I was in luck, there was a really nice FTO in the lot. Sadly it was a customers car, and was in to get a wheel bearing done. Talked to the sales guy, said he has just bought a couple more, but won't be in from Japan for 5-6weeks. Might hold off and see wot they're like.

was a silver car in the lot.....if it was thats the car i went to see a few weeks ago.........nice but it wasn't worth 11grand.......i got a newer car, half the mileage, and in better condition with all the mod cons by going private........i'm not saying dont buy from him but he's had a lot of interest so he knows he'll get top dollar.....
i suppose its the big disadvantage in not being in dublin is that people will buy from him coz everything else seems to be in dublin.....

Yea it was a siver/gold colour, 97 gpx mivec manual.

Did he quote you 11K...??? I got a quote of 9K out of him for the same type car as the one there. No harm to have a look at what he gets in in a few weeks.

he had that car advertised on carzone for 11k... he sold it to a woman in her 40's....full asking price......did he include vrt and nct in the qoute he gave you though.......thats the extra 2 grand you see.......

Yea, he was telling me it was a lady that bought it and she had no idea about the spec of the car or what mivec was...wot a waste of a nice car

I guess I'll soon see when the cars come in, his price could change...but I love haggling.

ya she lives in moycullen.....she was looking for a hyundai coupe and saw the fto and bought it off him......he had 7 others interested in that car as well as myself so he knows he can get the best price........advertised it on a wednesday it was sold by friday....

I hate it when folks compare the coupe and the FTO! I'd say the GPX never got above 4k on the tacho during the test drive

hyundai coupe compared to FTO??? Hope NOT

but welcome to the forum.
