Worth travelling for the right car if it's what you want(drove to Scotland and back same day to buy my current one)
Just give the guy a call and have a good chat before travelling and make it clear that you have a long way to travel to view so please be honest

cheers guys,
Apparently he traded it with his warrior a month ago and now has to move 40 miles away from work and needs as everyone always says a diesel. he told me it is straight and the arches were done by a previous owner to a very high specification. the remap was done by a company called pole position. decisions decisions. i have been looking for a while and there is nothing around here with the specification i am looking for, i just hope it is not a waste of my time. |

They put a lot of salt on the roads in Scotland could be rough underneath other than that it looks well looked after

Ad seems honest, I would travel if I thought it was the right car but then it's not my cash . You could factor in your travel costs when negotiating on the price if you get that far then it's only cost you your time. Anyway good luck ,decisions, decisions. ......

Its not that far really for the right car i had worked driving all night as well before i left for scotland ,come home for a quick shower and change after work then after getting back home with the car,slept for six hrs and then drove to wales to pick up a spec c interior(as the guy was going away)
But unfortunately for the right stuff travelling gotta be done fingers crossed its all ok for you if you go to look/buy

yes but the winters up your way start earlier and last longer which mean more salt more of the time

i have just got off the phone to pole position and it all checks out with the mapping of the car and the upgraded pink injectors. the previous owner brought it with the td05 and it needed mapping so pole position mapped it with the injectors and now it is running spot on according to their words.
Looks like a virgin train journey is on the cards. have offered a reasonable price taking my travel into consideration. |
