Garage for kicking tyres

    Folks,

    Has anyone any recommendations for a good garage for browsing a wide array of cars? I'm at a loss as to what to get (i've been browsing online for too long).

    I know I want an automatic, but i've looked at everything from A5's to Octavia's (estate) to Prius'..

    Need to narrow it down by physically checking the cars out

    Budget 15-20k - more 15 than 20 preferably...

    Thanks in advance...

    Boucher rd in Belfast is a good place to start, nearly every franchise within walking distance of each other and a number of large second hand places too.

    Why the need for a mechanic? Apart from the usual reason

    Because you are spending 15-20k on a used car and it is prudent once you have narrowed down your list to one or two cars, to have it examined by an expert before you hand over the money. Its alot easier to get a garage to fix things spotted by a mechanice prior to handing over money than after they have your money.

    I'd second that, nearly every franchise under the sun in less than half a mile of road.
