Vauxhall/opel trade card
« on: 12 March 2009, 13:08:18 »

How do I get hold of a trade card?

I've an oil change coming up and I got a price of €38.00 for genuine gm oil (not from my regualar opel dealer) Would I be able to get one as my dad knows the boss at the dealer I normaly go to.

I recommend you join:

www.autobahnstormers.co.uk

at a cost of just £20, for which you get a trade card that gets you discounts at many Vx dealers, maybe their own discounts as well, plus it helps to get a Halfords Trade Card if you speak to their branch managers nicely!! :D :D ;)

Over the last year I have recouped my £20's many times over!! :y :y :y

Sorry, I completely forgot you are 'overseas'! :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

According to the ABS rules you can use the TC in over 400 Vauxhall dealers, with no mention of restrictions on where those Vx dealers are. 8-) 8-)  If you have Vx main dealers in ROI, I don't see why they wouldn't accept the ABS TC. ;)

I have e-mailed the Secretary of the ABS to find out where the TC can be used! ;)

Isn't Opel for left hand drive models, so ROI is Vx RHD territory? :-? :-?

Right, thanks, that does surprise me. Just seems a bit illogical.  :D :D :D ;)

I have now had an answer back from ABS, and the chap I "spoke" to recommends you send an e-mail to Dave Waddington who apparently organises the ABS TC on:

secretary@autobahnstormers.org

and ask him if Opel in the ROI will accept their TC. ;) ;)

Made me think now...my father many years ago had an Opel ascona.

Normal left hand drive and was a standard sale from Vauxhall dealer.....wonder why they were selling Opel's and not badged as vauxhall.
