That's their issue not the buyers!
I think it's worth traveling to get the right car, bearing in mind I'm bang in the center of the Midlands:
Went to Brum to get the Volvo - not far I know but pre-deposited the dealer over the phone and shot over there.
Went to North London to get the Twingo; Train, Tube, Overground Train, Drove it home on 'day insurance'.
Went to St.Albans to get the mother in-law a car, 2 x Trains, a Walk, drove it home.
Been to Heathrow too to get a car, private sale. |
Back in 2011 I flew to Belfast to buy a car, 6hr ferry back to Liverpool then 4 hour drive back to London! It was the exact spec I wanted and in total there was probably only 6 of them for sale at the time. Had loads of photos sent to me, did as much checking as I could in advance and had the current owner take it to BMW for an inspection that I'd arranged at my own expense. Was quite an adventure, especially as the bank froze my account whilst I was travelling there and then me draining the battery just after I'd bought it!
