I dont think that I would travel that far, could the seller not meet you half way if you gave him a extra few quid to get home??

I would travel for the right car, aslong as you take into account the extra expensive for going to get it.

The length of the country if its a good enough deal.

Esspecially if theres a nearby airport & the sellers willing to cooperate!
