my advise to you would be dont be scared to travel and dont buy the first you see i was over excited at the thought of my first escos and rushed in,only had it a month and the head blew so i stripped it and it was completely shagged so been off the road for 7 months getting rebuilt ,dont let this happen to you history is important and if you are concerned about anything at all post up on here the guys have pointed me in the right direction many times,good look im sure you will find the right car not many about now though so be patient
