    Hi, I posted on here yesterday but deleted it as I wanted to rephrase.

    What are the hot deals out there at the moment or any dealers in particular? Joe Duffy's of the country etc. Looking to go for a few test drives this weekend.

    Set up my own company just after Christmas, in the construction game. Based in North Dublin/Meath.

    My other half has a small ford fiesta 2009 and I drive a VW Golf MK6 2011. Our plan would be to sell both, buy one good/nice car out of our own money- she would drive to work, maybe an Audi or something, then I'd buy a commercial van/car type thing (a car/jeep with only 2 seats so it qualifies as commercial would be ideal) and buy it through the company for VAT reasons etc. This would probably be on a lease plan most likely.

    Just posting on here for any advice on certain dealerships or good HP/PCP/Leasing plans you might know of around the country.

    I'm originally a Tyrone man, living in dublin a couple of years now - my general perception is that you don't buy a car in Ireland - they're just too dear compared with the choice and value you get in England - I'd love it if someone proved me wrong on here.

    I always bought my cars in the past privately in england, would fly over, purchase and drive home. I took a brand new 2.0 GTD Golf Mk7 in 2016 on a 2 year lease with a VW Dealer in the north - it was £250 a month, mileage upto 16,000 per year, all services etc covered, £250 per month was a steal.

    I can't find anything like that down here, looked at Joe Duffy etc and the prices for leasing aren't near wise at all.

    Am I better off going to the UK again and buying a vehicle, then paying the VRT transferring it over? Or is there value down here... I'm aware I can apply for exemption of VRT once only when transferring UK plates to ROI.

    Thanks in advance!!
