how far woudl u travel.
im looking for a civic but only decent ones are up north for seom reason. i live in london adn this civic is 166 miles away, so trying to figure out where that could be basically.
nice car and very cheap with low meilage in the colour i want, do you think its worth it. 166 miles must b a 3 hour drive.

up to 50miles

anything over that i'd let someone else have

unlike the cnut who drove from manchester to essex to buy the corrado i wanted, only to put it up for sale again the same day for £3k more

the more northern u go the more pikey people become, its all about money to the poor

I drove from Nottingham to South London with my Dad to pick my car up as it was a bargin!

Took almost 12 hours tho!

Had been a big crash on the M1 and we got stuck in it for 5 and a half hours along with a few other thousand people in August last year! oh and it was the hottest day of the year

Loved the drive back tho!

I drove Newcastle to Edinburgh to view the car, and then 3/4 of the way Newcastle to Edinburgh a week later to pick it up.

I enjoy driving long distances though so i didn't mind.

Wouldnt bother me in the slightest.

Trouble is southerners see anything over 50 miles as a long distance drive.
Tbh 166 miles isnt that far. Ive bought three cars from London now.
