About time I said hello

Beebs · Jan 23, 2017

We've been thinking about getting a Cali for a few years and decided on the Marco Polo. I saw the interior of both and liked the fit out of the Mercedes.The long and short of it is after Mercedes giving nothing away as to the UK launch date and then a stumble across the dealership in Northern Ireland Donnellys in Dungannon and the fantastic salesmanship of Chris Donnelly. Great old fashioned service. I have ended up spending a lot of money buying our very nearly fully spec'd chestnut brown, Ocean, 4 Motion, DSG, 18inch Toluca Alloy fancy wheels, LED Lights, all the controls and assists, ect, ect. And thrown in for good measure a weekend in fantastic Belfast, Giants Causeway and the surrounding area exploring...all courtesy of Chris!.....keep this bit quiet...a very boozy late night in the Fitzwilliam Hotel Belfast. All off a £35 per person return flight from Gatwick.

The pic below show us being picked up at Belfast International,

A quick check on the colour and sign a few bits of paper.

Giants Causeway.

Delivered to my door!

Fantastic Northern Ireland!!

It's a long way to go back to if I have a problem, but that's what the VW network is for...yes?

Nice One @Beebs

Class colour, and cool wheels!! Glad you enjoyed a good Irish Welcome, and of course and few liquid refreshments!
:cheers

Maybe you'll make a return trip, in your Cali again someday..... I booked a return ferry recently, and it was about £200 for the return trip (Ireland to GB) using the Aferry website.

Good luck with your Cali, and keep in-touch, if I can help with anything here in N.I.
