Why you going North mate- do more Exs live there?
I went to Wakefield after searching a lot of suspect ones here in London.
Glad I did came back with my Northface.

 

[jays1]

i went up to wolverhampton for mine (thats north from me lol)

i think cars are cheaper in general in the northerly regions,got the misses her mx5 from further up aswell,for half the price of local ones.

 

[BIGHVM]

I agree, found that when looking for this Ex!

Had a 740 mile round trip to get mine - well worth it. Nothing much down here in Cornwall.

I got mine in Cornwall

It's funny ain't it that wherever you are, the car is somewhere else. My Explorer came from Cornwall so there was one in Cornwall, and for my own sanity I got it with an overnight stop. My last purchase, a Mondeo came form Liverpool. There's never anything locally at the right time at the right price (the 1st law of car buying). I've also found that cars I've bought have lived their entire life within 50 miles and then get moved 250 miles by the last buyer ready for me to move it back! Someone is now going to tell me they bought a Mondeo and Explorer in Hastings and for peanuts Ho hum!
