edit, ive done it before actually, corsa 20xe 7 years ago, when someone tried to knock 150 quid off a car as they came from north wales to see it. i said no, they went home. i sold it for what i wanted a few days later.
and the porsche as well last year.

Of course it's not there problem, but if they were looking for a hassle free sale then most will agree instead of loosing out the sale over £100.

I just sold some SRI alloys for £280, someone offered me £100 because he was "traveling a long way to collect". I said no and sold them for the asking price to someone who traveled even further. Like you said it's not my problem if they have to travel.

A set of wheels for £300 is a bit different than a full car worth a couple of K

how much do you have? I presume 1k as thats what you mentioned about XE build.
Sell your kit, buckets, omp wheel, cesaros etc and then offer matey £1800
Should see near 800quid with yours stripped easy Id have thought then buy that

Haha I wish it was that simple Faz, need to sort engine out, heads getting done on wed 335 cash I'm hand, flush new gasket and skim as I cba to wait anymore and engines only got 60k on it so a shame to bin it!! Cesaros already sold to find newest wheels and would take a whole to sell everything! Plus it's absolutely miles from me but (I know the if I was closer phrase) but if I was I'd probably be more tempted to! I'd like to see what's behind arches and bumpers as the underside might be nice and under sealed but wouldn't like to do all that to uncover hidden surprises :/ someone get it on here and show me haha! Aren't you tempted after your other one fazza??

I just presumed the way you were talking were as if you had 1k to spend to build an XE etc.
'IF' you did, could easily strip yours down and scrap the shell and then buy that gsi

Christopher, have you went around various garages for prices to get the head done?? £325 is a ridiculous amount of money for a 1.2 8v HG job.
£200 tops.
