i can recommend making the 5 hour journey into 7+ by making the trip and adventure. go in a se7en, plot the route on tomtom and go the country lanes. this way the trip is far more interesting than the purchase, then you can be objective about the car and dont care if you buy it or not cos you have another viewing trip next week.
