Does the location of a car for sale influence your decision
Discussion
You would not buy a car from Bradford??? What's wrong with Bradford when you have the likes of those lovely modified supercars from the likes of Khan Design.
Oh...hang on a minute. Yep - you're right! Avoid Bradford. no good reason to buy a car from there - at all!

If it's a very particular car I'm after, I'll travel anywhere in the UK; as I did from West Wales to Dundee. By road. No airports for me.
I'm happy to do a few hundred miles for a snotter. It gives me the opportunity to catch up with one of my mates and have a laugh on the journey out. If you get the car, you can have a hoon back. If you don't, you can spend the journey home berating the vendor for being a lousy, lying cheating b
d with st in his eyes for mis-advertising such a pup.
As an aside, I have actually bought a car from Bradford. It was excellent order, which is more than can be said for Bradford itself.
There was a car on fire on some ground across the road from his house which prompted me to park our car in a quick getaway position.

Quick google streetview of the postcode to get an idea for me
Yep, this is a good idea, and just what I did... the street looked a right dive, but the car sounded really good from the advert, and the guy could sting a bit of a sentence together with only a few text speak references... But the pictures were crap, although they had been taken against a country background... but he said he only had a phone camera... Fair enough. So against my better judgement, I drove 15 miles across Birmingham to Castle Vale...What a mistake... I walked around the car and straight away knew it was a dog. Loads of rust, just covered over with some aerosol paint... he came to the door as I was looking around it, I swear his knuckles were dragging on the floor
I just said its not for me and walked away leaving him looking bewildered...Conversely, I looked at another yesterday. Made the call and a woman answered who gave me a few details about the car, said it was her car and they had owned it a long time, she sounded really nice, polite and well spoken. Looked at the address on google maps and it was a nice area, well kept, large houses... Went to see it and its a really good car, well kept, all the old bills, clean inside and out... so I bought it.
When I look back at all the cars (many!!) I have ever bought privately, they have always been from the nice areas in a town, I have never found a good car from a run down area...
But guys, there must be some nice areas in Bradford!!!

Couldn't care less providing the ad is properly written and has good pictures and all the checks come up clear i'll travel to Baghdad for the right car 
Wot he said ^^^ Guessing I'm in a minority here but I've been to see 3 cars in Bradford, two of which we bought. If the price is right and it feels good what's the problem?
