    Anyone know or recommend a Volkswagen dealer in the UK?

    Hoping to buy 2 Passats in the UK, was hoping Id get a better deal if I got both cars off the same dealer.

    Budget is about £7000 each, 2012 upwards.

    Not having much look on auto trader finding decent cars close together even.

    Why not go to Irish dealer and tell them requirements and see what they could do, Im sure VW Ireland could put a deal together for two cars.

    Support local/ buy Irish goes out the window with cars it seems. Even pricing it local would be nice. I know money is hard got and nobody wants to pay over the odds too.

    That said a 12 Passat is heading for 6 years old, you probably won't see too many still with main dealers. Your budget would probably go further independently, or seeing as you'll have no warranty on a UK car over here, shopping private could be good value for money, even if it doesn't give you the leverage that buying two might.

    Unlikely any main VW dealer in the UK will sell a car of that age.

    Sometimes they do make exceptions if they know the car and it's owner, it has fairly low mileage, in very good condition and they known they will get top dollar for it.

    Very unlikely the OP would buy similar cars here either on their budget unless they go down the route of the smaller independent dealers or portacabin in a yard type dealers.

    Doesnt have to be a VW dealer, just someone who might have a selection of VWs

    Much better value for money in the UK, had a look around here and didnt find much.

    Have a browse of autotrader.co.uk and then do a bit of googling of the dealers selling the cars.

    Bit of a silly comment to be honest....

    I do a mixture of buying in Ireland/UK....some great value to be had in both Ireland and in UK....all depends on your requirements.....
