Re: hello from Ireland
thanks i'll do that when we collect it later this week.
yes the singapore imports are becoming really popular here in Ireland because they're loaded compared to what we have here...our taxes on new cars are very high especially if the car has a lot of extras, so there's more base models available.....

Re: hello from Ireland
yes, we're getting more and more used singapore cars here now, for years we had a lot of used japanese cars, but also we have all the usual new cars. In fact there are so many cars on Irish roads now it's almost gridlock every day......most households have 2 or 3 cars despite the cost, not to mention the high cost of insurance here too.
anyway you should look at Carzone.ie - New & Used Cars in Ireland - Welcome to Carzone. thats a good site to look up Irish prices of new and used cars with links to dealers etc....
It looks like it is also expensive to own a car in singapore too? but it's good to see that there's a limit to the amount of cars allowed on your roads.

Re: hello from Ireland
Mate, the reason all our cars have every extra is because of the high prices we pay. No one would pay that much for a car that doesnt have leather seats at least! So any car from Singapore will always be fully loaded, and yes maintenance here is very high priority on everyones list, so all exported cars will be first rate. In fact a few of the memebers here dont' even drive their cars if it "may" rain, some have even never had their windscreen wiper turned on!

Re: hello from Ireland
Hey Mads, wow, you have all that stuff, even previous owner? Sure contact him i reckon. Or send a PM to one of the admin guys here to see if they know him
Is the sat nav a CD or DVD?
I will be interested to find out how much you pay for the Euro version of the sat nav disc.
