South Yorks to Worcester is about 120 miles.

You'd easily get there and back on a tank, so you're looking at £50 to get the decent motor you've been looking for. I wouldn't think twice about travelling that distance tbh.

I do understand why people don't want to travel far, the amount of times I've been to see cars that have been "mint" condition or like new and have been sheds when I've got there

Sorry, looked at the wrong person.

However, the centre of Stevenage to centre of Worcester is 121 miles, so my point still stands

It has deffo put me off. I use to not think twice to driving 500 mile round trips but ive had some very bad experiences so I tend not to travel far now, even if it does cost me abit more money.

Yes, f-ing cretin, noones saying he has to buy outright based on someones word but coming on moaning he cant find a decent example then moaning about travelling 120 miles to see one then, then making out someones opinion isnt good enough, surely its worth someone going to look over it and say yeah its worth coming to see or not, kids these days think the world owes them a favour, uni twats

But to answer your retort, yes i did find your reply rude, it implied that my view of a car wasnt good enough and that only your view was good enough to tell if a car was sound or not.

I wouldnt take someone elses word and buy a car based on that, but i wouldnt pass up someone going to view a local car to give it a once over to increase the chances of it not being a wasted journey.

Especially with your uni better than you attitude, I did find rude yes, and your neanderthal replies afterwards reinforces my view of your intelligence
