Before you commit to this, have you spoken to any of your chosen makes recommended dealers within reasonable distance and asked then if they can come near the deal, or do a servicing package to help even the playing field over time.
The only reason being that if you buy from and get the car serviced at the same dealer, then once warranty has run out they *should* be more sympathetic to goodwilll if anything goes wrong...obviously this depends what make you are buying into, some (dealers and manufacturers) care about their customers others don't.
If the dealer gets virtually nothing out the deal they won't be too bothered should anything go wrong in due course.
