I just paid for a car from Kilmacanty Transport... has anyone used them?

[JamesWilson75]

I purchased a 2021 Mercedes GLC 300d from Kilmacanty Transport in December. The part I questioned most was the segregated business account because I'd never come across that when buying a car they explained their arrangement and provided the terms before I paid. Mine arrived when expected and I had Mercedes specialist look over it afterwards! I ask Kilmacanty Transport to send the V5 and a video with the car before I transferred the money to the business acc

The issue is that there are so many phoney car and transportation websites these days that even legitimate companies end up looking suspicious when they use an unfamiliar buying process. However, everything is purchased online these days, and for some reason you have to pay in advance, even if you want to buy a smartphone. This is the way things are these days, but you still need to make sure the company is legit and based on my web research, Kilmacanty Transport appears to be a rather reputable business

I'll add a less-than-perfect experience. I purchased a 2019 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian through them a few weeks ago. Car eventually arrived and mechanically it was sound, but there were two scratches on the rear quarter that looked worse in person than they did in the photos

I complained. To their credit, they didn't argue about it. We agreed on some money back towards having the paint sorted locally

So no, mine wasn't absolutely flawless and I wouldn't pretend it was but they dealt with the problem reasonably

That's actually more reassuring to read than another "perfect car, perfect service, 10/10" post... how a business reacts afterwards tells you more

Right lads, update...

The imaginary Audi exists.

Arrived yesterday.

Driver rang about half an hour beforehand because our road is fairly tight and he wanted to check where he could unload.

Car looks exactly like the listing from what I can see. Interior is spotless and all the paperwork was together.

Not declaring it perfect yet though.

Mechanic has it tomorrow morning.

Mechanic has now had his fun!
Everything important checks out. Brakes, suspension, diagnostics, underneath etc all fine. He pointed out the front tyres probably have another year rather than the "loads of life" I'd convinced myself they had, but that's about it
