Glanza-Ben Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Since all gts and glanzas in ireland sell for 1500 or under, is there anything stopping me flying over and driving a Irish one back? Quote
DevonGT Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Northern Ireland would be straightforward, Eire would be slightly different I'd guess. Quote

A question not a answer, sorry for jumping aboard Glanza-Ben, just interestedYea you can do that, I don't have a trailer and just need a complete car for a donor so not worth registering for me, but for some one else it's proberly a cheap way of getting a cheap gt or glanza Quote

neilturbo Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 gt or a glanza for 1500 euro isnt going to be the best of cars getting hard to buy clean cars in ireland Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted November 9, 2014 Author Posted November 9, 2014 gt or a glanza for 1500 euro isnt going to be the best of cars getting hard to buy clean cars in irelandAin't after a clean one I need a donor car that's all Quote
gtturbo94 Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 if your going to cork for a car best bet would be driving it to rosslare port in county wexford and that brings you to pembroke in wales or drive the motorway to dublin and head to holyhead irish cars do have log books but its normal for the car seller to send it off in post for you but since your taking it outa the county best take down the chassis number etcit is hard to find a clean irish car now but as you said its a donor so you should be fine but cork is a bit of a driver to the nearest port depends on what part of cork if your going way west cork could take you at least 2 hours to get to cork city and 2 1/2- 3 hours from cork city to Dublin or 2 hours to rosslare portSo best bet is to find a car in wexford or Dublin or county's along side themCork is the biggest county in Ireland and not many motorways linking county's Hope this helps Quote
