In my experience if your looking fir a specific second hand car then it's well worth the travel.... Your example is a saving of £1500, so it might cost £100 to get it... Seems like a no brainer to me. I went all the way to Bournemouth to pick up a mini and I got it for nearly half the price I would have paid in Scotland... I would say concentrate on the spec and price and then look at distance. If it's from a mini dealer then they can ship so work that into the deal ;)
You are correct mate. I'm no stranger to travelling for a car, Inverness airport is handy :D
It's just having to trust a sellers description I don't like, going all that way to find faults never mentioned puts me off.
Completely understand that, loads of photos and questions always worked for me.... Plus other forums could give you advice on good or bad dealers in Englandshire ;)
Aye before I contact a seller, I always do a background research on google.
Not being rude, but you're looking at the wrong car.Quote:

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a car that isn't quite what I went looking for, and I do wonder if you could be missing a really great car just because it's missing heated seats or whatever else? Personally I'm always suspicious of a warm seat 😳
You'll stick in though til you find a cracker I'm sure, happy hunting.
What Gordon is saying is that NO MINI is perfect. They all have some little issue... My GP has a crack in the rear spoiler, has more rattles inside than a toddlers convention and it cost about 3 grand more than your budget.
Tbh you could buy a £25k new mini and still have faults ... It's part of their charm !! :lol:
Craig! It's not that they're not perfect, they just don't have the correct owner. It's true though, unless you build the car yourself and spec the living daylights out of it, you'll never be 100%
I stand by my comments ... Every mini has its faults... ;).
