Should I buy from an online UK dealer?
Hi Paddy. Thanks for that reply.
I have been looking at a car at an online dealers, based in the UK. There is a diesel 1.9-litre Golf, which sounds okay value there.
They want €495 deposit. In 10 days the car is available for inspection, I gather if I'm not happy I lose my deposit.
He says I couldn't be unhappy, as the car is immaculate! It is bought straight from VW, one owner, 10,000 miles, 2008 diesel with one year warranty left. There is a 2008 model with lower spec available from a local garage with 34,000 on the clock and €2,000 cheaper.
