    So no consistent major price advantage?

    Not that i've seen, no.

    I've heard of people coming to NI to buy specific cars and take them back to the mainland.

    Do an autotrader / usedcarsni search for NI cars only of the specific make / model / year / miles / spec you're looking sort and sort by lowest price then do a national search on autotrader and see how comparable cars look.

    Bear in mind also that a car in a used car supermarket somewhere wont necessarily be as well prepared as say, a car bought here from a franchised dealer.

    A few years ago, a dealer from London was picking up all the high end vehicles at wilson’s auctions in portadown - jaguars, Mercedes etc. must have been a flooded market for them here then.
