Because we don't get paid as much as southerners for doing twice as much work therefore the value of things is lower.

Because they all rust with the weather up there. Brother bought a saxo a couple years back and we found it was covered in rust from front to back!

And, people have to drive up from the south of england which has a higher average wage to pick them up so prices have to be attractive!

TBH if someone went a long way to see a car I was selling, I wouldn't reduce the price.

because living cost down south is far more than it is up here in the north.

my mate moved down south 4 months ago but had to move back up because of the cost of living down south was way higher.
