Unhappy Denmac Ford Darra Closed

Not sure if it has been mentioned or not. Drove past Denmac at Darra this morning hoping to see a FGX. The yard was empty. Not one car on the lot. I went past earlier in the week and all looked normal. Lots of new Fords and used cars too. Now nothing.

They have been going downhill for a while. Bought my old XR6 from them in 2010. Nearest Ford dealer to me now is Bremer Ford in Ipswich which is where I got my GT this year.

Cheers Mike

Might explain the horrendeous service I got a few weeks back. If that was the norm then I can understand why but Im guessing its probably something higher than that which was the cause.

Denmac has been purchased by motorama apparently.

Their Kia yard in Moorooka is currently under going a big facelift so im guessing that's where denmac will end up.
