How far you are willing to drive to get a car?
Im just curious.
There is a 02 Acura type s that I would buy for 5k and its clean, but my friend would have to take me there to take it and it will be a 5 hour trip.

btw is that a good deal also
 
I went to Toronto to buy a my 240SX, I had 4 cars to see in 1 day and mine was the 3rd one I saw, I bought it and drove home.

My Jeep was from Ottawa, I drove up there 3 times in 1 week before buying it.

My Sunfire came from Morin Heights, I drove it back in the dark on 3 cylinders and it didn't have an exhaust, that was like a 2 hour drive. lol
 
how far i'd drive?
the better the deal, the further i'd drive :bigup:
can go up to the moon if its a 997 for 10 000$:D
 
5hr is nothing... 5000$ for an rsx type-s is cheap. Cheap like kinda too cheap. Have you checked insurence. I had an rsx and it was 200$/month only for insurence. and I was 22. I would drive 5 hr to get that FO SHO !
 
went to ottawa to buy my ex rabbit pickup, next car i'll probably go pick it up in texas or california.
 
j'ai pris l'avion jusqua ATL , pis jsuis revenus avec mon s14 !!!!

jme rappel pus la durée du vol max 4 ou 5 heures !!!

24heure de route pour revenir !!!!
 
I once drove 3 hours to someone who told me they'd "buy my car cash on scene".

After 3 mechanics tore my old 1997 civic hatchback (that had 250 000 km and was selling for $1800) the guy decided he didn't want it.

Sort of a different story, but in the end I realised how stupid it was...not to mention I had to pay 6 hours of gas in two cars (friend was following).

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I'm driving to NYC tomorrow to pick up some car parts. 12hrs total.
Farthest I went to pick up a car was around Pensacola, Florida. :p

I also bought a car from Vancouver sight unseen, but I had that one shipped by train.
 
me and my friend drove down to quebec city (we live in the west island) to trade in his pos 91 sunbird + 500$ for this...

Depends on how much you're saving and the car in question.

I wouldn't go further than 1-2 hours unless I was absolutely certain that this car was worth buying at the listed price. If the buyer just has to stay put he stands nothing to lose but a bit of time.
 
I drove 6 hours to Saguenay to pick up my prelude. I did it with my dad so luckily he didnt really charge me for gas just for lunch. so in total it was like a 12 hour journey. well worth it though
 
Drove 3.5 hours to go to Thetford Mines to pick up my Prelude and 3.5 hours back.

I will probably be driving 5-7 hours one way when picking up my new car if the Lude sells. Or else I'm keeping it.
