    Ya I was sort of wondering is there a place over there, like a big car lot where a deal could be got. Rather than been all over place. Any good websites

    That's just a site like donedeal, plenty of bargains and plenty of lemons.

    Cars are cheaper in Scotland, and probably NI.

    Any examples of cars I have seen online in NI have been a bit more expensive compared to similar cars for sale in the mainland UK. You will pay for the convenience of being able to pop over the border into NI. As for Scotland, I'd be wary about buying a car used in Scotland especially the north most parts where they use salt on the roads a fair bit more than those further south.

    Make sure you bring the V5C with the car.

    Go on done deal, put in your required car details, make, model, year etc then sort to get cheapest first you will usually get all the NI cars first. Good first check anyway you might spot something. Half of them aren't even in the north anyway border counties Louth, Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal are full of them. And further south too, it could save you the travel costs.

    Obviously better selection in England though due to size.
