Been looking a cars for a week or 2 now and seen one i've fell in love with, only problem is it's in Falmouth and im in Sandbach, 5hr 56min drive EACH way.

Had a look at trains and they take 7hours with 3 changes and cost £133 a ticket.

Is it worth it or should I just look closer?

Do it!

12 hour trip could result in you having 12 months of massive smiles on your face...

We had to travel to Hatfield from near Birmingham to look at what is now my other half's current car.

I had to travel down a week later on the train and drive the new car home. Epic journey (maybe less so than your proposed journey) but worth it.
