I had a good look and this seemed the best section for this.

I am about to buy a new Golf but my local dealer hasn't been easy to deal with (often failing to return calls etc) and has been really pushy which I find off putting. Also, another dealer a bit further away has been much easier to deal with and offered a better price. Someone told me there can be problems with your local dealer if you have any issues with the car and didn't buy it from them. I think that's a bit silly personally.

Is there really anything to be concerned about if I don't buy from my local dealer but want to take it to them under warranty if there are any issues?

Does it make any difference if it is different groups? Where I want to buy from is Lookers but my local is Inchcape.
