Buying a car from Northern Ireland

[jacktoyou]

Advice please; I'm currently looking for a car and seen a few advertised in Belfast. Any advice and tips on purchasing from Northern Ireland?

Seems a long way to go I know but happy to for the right car. And given the journey it's visit to buy rather than kick a few tyres so just want to know if anyone has had experience?

Much appreciated.

Back in the 80's nobody would dare get close enough to your car to clamp it or put a ticket on it if it had Northern Ireland plates.

That's about all I have on that one.

Not this nonsense again.

What do you think will be different? Semtex in the spare wheel well? A pistol hidden in the glovebox? Some angry Leprechaun hiding in the boot wondering if you know who his da is?

NI isn't a foreign country.
