If you want me t shaddup just say so lol, most my learning is by reading build threads.. My posts are mainly statements or wanteds.. See If I can persuade someone to sell..
This! I have probably been to see about 5 or 6 cars in South Wales over the years and every one has been a shed. The last time I went to see one I vowed I would never bother going to look at any cars in South Wales again. Lol
FLOL!

Not ALL Clio's are bad in South Wales. And not all Clio owners are boy racers. But there are a few around.

2000 Clio172
I bought a Ph1 172 last week from Kent,travelled from Milton keynes by train.Sold it after getting bad advice from the local"specialist".Am just about to go and hopefully buy another one,5 miles away from the one last week!

A lad i work with drove to northern Ireland to get his Insignia VXR. He saved about 3K for doing this,
As said well worth the drive for the right car.
Its a gamble though, what if its a dog?
im from the south west, and when ever i look for a car all the good cheap ones always seem to be way up north
If you want me to checkout any local to me and tell you if they're worth a trip let me know..

I live in Essex... all the best cars (and houses!) are in Kent. Which is really annoying as they always show up in searches.
Ive been to Essex a few times for cars..

And my brother went from Teesside to London for his this weekend, you just have to wait and then travel for the right one

...that is all.I'm not against travelling if there's a good chance its going to be what you are after but often this isnt the case.. Has anyone put a vehicle Q and A together? Im thinking of when you are in contact with the seller, to make sure you ask all the relevant questions prior to travelling to view?
Might be an idea to start one off? I won't start that thread though as Ive started enough this week

I for one, will never buy a car on Welsh soil again! Every single one of them and ones that my mates have purchased, have been shite.

If I'm goin buy a car that's far away I always have really good intentions of getting the train then if it's mint I can drive it back but if it's rough I can just get the train back
in reality after spending hours on the train I'm just happy it's got 4 wheels a seat and a steering wheel and end up buying some right piece of s**t

It is definately worth travelling for the right car - A days travel for what could be a long term car is fine, but you need to have your wits about you and ask the seller the right questions - get pictures sent over if needs be, and make sure you get a realistic idea of what the car will be before you go.
If you think like that IMO you won't be disappointed when you make the long trip to view

No offence mate but your post strikes me as a bit odd, almost like the comments of a very young driver. It's like the basics of any questions you'd ask when buying any car second hand - what's it's service history, has it ever been in an accident, what's the general condition, tax, MOT, tyres etc etc.
My confusion comes from the fact that you often post about having (had?) multiple cars, and your profile states you currently run a Kangoo, a BMW Z4 as well as an Audi TT not to mention a GTO (although whether it's a Pontiac / Ferrari 599 / Mitsubishi / Ferrari 250 is unknown). If you own all those cars how can you not know what to ask when looking to buy a crappy £5k French hatch???

It's a thread for everyone not just myself.. Most the cars I have bought have tended to be on a whim which I am trying to stop myself from doing in the future before my wife kills me.. Like I said recently I travelled a couple of hundred miles to look at a connect sport and had I asked more questions before travelling I would of saved myself a journey..
I'm sure everyone can learn from the knowledge of other people and now I have a list I feel better prepared.
As for the Trophy, had I not done a little research I could of bought one on the strength of it having a trophy sticker and driving well with service history.. not knowing about trendlines and Sachs which make it worth more money..
I'm sorry if I have offended you by asking a question but you seem to be the only person who has taken exception. Maybe just ignore the thread instead of getting annoyed.
Well I split my time between Worcs. and Scotland, so it's clear to me that when I sell my 172 Cup I'll have to take it to the furthest of those two locations from whoever wants to view it! After all, the furthest ones are the best, right?
55k and just me as the only owner in case you were wondering...

Entirely standard Mondial blue 172 Cup except for a K-tec stealth stainless exhaust. Only other replacement was rear shocks and timing belt. Currently running on 15" all-season tyres (snow was here until Monday) with original 16“ Turini as spare and rest in storage. Just sailed through its MOT last month.The buyer comes to you mate
Sell on here, should fly out ...
what was that?
