I trekked to view mine, then returned again to buy it  (derby > somewhere in cornwall)
Is there not any others en route? Like could you not travel and see 2 or even 3 on the way down/back up?

Been and bought loads miles away.
Generally make sure they're cheap enough before heading down to get them.
Only one I've gone down to view and returned to collect was the truck, Bristol twice.

Furthest i went was leicester (200miles round trip) and it was a complete dog. Wasnt best impressed at its a Evans Halshaw who usually price cars well on condition.
Also went to Rochdale for my ex and that was horrific how bad compared to the pircutres but then went on to Manchester and bought one so wasnt a wasted journey.

Me and 3 mates went to see a car in an old fiesta. Took us hours to get there plus we stopped to sleep for a while. Other mate didnt take it as it was a complete shed. The owner had a tag on his ankle as well. Fucking junkie englander.

Agree with this, every ones version of mint or even 'good condition' seems to vary a hell of a lot.

for a 4/5 hour trip I would be 90% committed to buying the car (pending me viewing it to see if it was as described). Would probably travel down with the funds as well as would not want to make that trip twice.
Is there a CS member in Hemel that can go and scout it out for you first?
