You wont be out the £6500 for the car, but out the price of a flight. Though if a deal is struck, you get the car you are (supposedly) interested in, you are out the price of a flight and you are out a few hours driving and a maximum of 2 tanks of fuel (took me 1.5 tanks of fuel driving a saxo vts from stranraer to dover and 7.5hrs driving)

I got a mate to fly to Edinburgh to view my 330d and he was literally on his way back to the airport to get a flight back as a deal hadnt been struck, only the owner had a change of heart and accepted my offer. The deal was struck and he drove the car to cairnryan and got the boat to n ireland. The price of the car aside, the round trip cost me £220 (£125 for the boat, £40 on fuel and £55 for the flight booked 2 days before the arranged viewing)

Anyways, rant over and im 110% skint, otherwise i would be flying right now to view this car as im looking one of these to replace my fiesta rst

Good luck to the seller!
100% Correct.Same old crappy posts "if only it was closer" "if you werent in scotland" "if you werent in england" "thats a bargain ide have that if....bla bla bla".All car forums are the same full of deamers and jobby talkers.
