Catalpa Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 We're dithering between buying a second-hand LHD diesel Passat or Laguna - in Normandy, if that's relevant. Oddly (to us) Passats seem cheaper to buy than Lagunas - similar spec, age etc. Does anyone have a view on whether servicing and parts in France will be more expensive on a non-French manufactured car?Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Any garage will service any make, so servicing isn't likely to be an issue. Normandy servicing usually consists of oil and filter change plus any other things you specifically ask them to look at. So it can work out a lot cheaper than UK garages. You will probably find parts are dearer and less easy to get hold of (unless you have a main dealer very close at hand) for a VW than a Renault though. A member of this forum (lagaragiste) has a garage business which I think must be quite close to you - it's probably worth contacting him/her.Will (50)Forum moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
