Been looking out for a new car for a while now (after an Astra Coupe) but none round here have really been right, and either been too expensive or not the spec i want. Just been looking on Autotrader and there is one that looks like it could fit the bill, only problem is its in Liverpool, and im in Bradford.
Looking on the dealers website it looks a decent enough garage, got a decent set of cars in etc, but im not sure i want to buy from somewhere so far away ijust n case anything goes wrong.
Would you buy a car thats quite a distance from you house? Or do you think it could end up being more trouble than its worth?

Go to Vauxhall and get them to get the car from thier second hand stock and deliver it to your front door like a well behaved car dealer.

I'd travel as far as is needed, your spending a lot of money, so miles to get the right car are worth it!
I've driven to Liverpool just to get a part for me car before LOL

Yeah i know its not a million miles away, but i dont wanna be trailer over to Liverpool if something goes wrong with it. Mind you in saying that its only an 02 plate car so nothing should really go wrong.
Guess all i can do is go over and have a look at it and try sort a deal there and then so i dont have to fanny about going over and coming back more than twice

you could have many more problems buying from a bloke in the next street, theres always a risk with private sales
