Just a little bit of cautionary advice for NI members!

I called into Hagans at Ballyclare a week ago, and in the process of looking around, noticed a couple in an Argente 650-6 with a salesman. I later passed them when they were outside the van, and heard the salesman saying, "if you're telling me you've got a 3 litre engine then it'll tow this without a problem".

As I was driving away, the group had moved to an outfit parked outside the gates, with a BMW 330D saloon. Being a bit suspicious of the salesman's words, I've checked and the 650-6 has an MTPLM of 1700kgs, against the 330D with a maximum KW of 1625kgs.

So.................... if you're shopping around at Hagans, do your own research and don't depend on their advice!!

ooo000ooo,

It'll be interesting to see what happens at Hagans, with the demise of Avondale.

Is there a Swift dealer north of Belfast? Just wondering!

Hagans caravan sales are only a small part of the Hagans empire. They sell motorhomes , have a fairly good accessories shop and own quite a few holiday parks both here in N.Ireland and the mainland. I  am one of the unfortunate ones who have just bought a new Avondale from them. Unfortunate in that the warranty issue is still uncertain. We love the van and I found them to be helpful so far in that I got an awning with the van and on our first trip I noticed a small hole in the material. They changed it no questions asked  and without even inspecting it.

MartyM,

Quite how a "readiness to hurl insults" corelates with a "salesmans contemp for his customers" I find difficult to understand. And quite frankly, I find your inane arguments and claims pretty pathetic,

Maybe they were going to site the caravan on a seasonal site and not tow it with the BMW.  Did the salesperson specifically ask if they were going to use the BMW to tow the caravan?  I towed my twin axle with my S80 and did not have a problem therefore I would assume the BMW is more than capable.

Again it is up to the buyer to make sure that he has the right vehicle for the type of caravan he is going to tow.  As for Fit for the purpose" there is no argument there as the caravan would be fit for the purpose of habitation for which it was designed and is perfectly capable of being towed.

Is this a private arguement or can anyone join in?

Yet another post has descended into farce. For goodness sake boys, get a grip!
