It is not a warranty management issue compounded by the distance. If something is wrong with the car within the warranty period, it is a warranty claim which can be addressed at my local dealers workshop. If it is not a warrantable issue within the warranty period, the selling dealer has no liability anyway. If its outside of warranty its on me. If for any other reason I feel a return to the dealership is unavoidable, I would not expect the dealer to arrange that, I would deal with that myself.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland dealer has no idea if you would when the chips are down actually deal with a return to them yourself.Don't also forget that ultimately until the car is in your hands and the money is in the dealers hands the deal does not exist1 -

The issue of goods from the U.K. not being delivered to Northern Ireland is massive, not just the occasional car dealer. I found the following document“Consumer Council for Northern IrelandConsumer experiences of retailers not delivering to Northern IrelandJuly 2024”0 -

The issue of goods from the U.K. not being delivered to Northern Ireland is massive, not just the occasional car dealer. I found the following document“Consumer Council for Northern IrelandConsumer experiences of retailers not delivering to Northern IrelandJuly 2024”Most suppliers of plants and seeds won’t ship to Northern Ireland either.
Despite what the OP says, there is a different regulatory environment now in NI when compared to the rest of the UK and it is that which is causing these issues. It’s an issue which can be dealt with but most businesses in GB can’t be bothered with the hassle and paperwork for what is a very small number of Northern Ireland customers, so just refuse to supply.Northern Ireland club member No 382 :j0
