I am about to purchase a car far north in the deepest darkest depths of Bonnie Scotland and want to get it back to Warwick.
Do I:
a) Fly up and drive it back (its a nice car but this is not a hoonable wagon),
b) Find someone to drive it down for me (recommendations??)
c) Find someone to trailer it down for me (again. recommendations??)
d) Drive up with another car and two people, then drive back (I think this may be mental).

I have no experience of buying a car without seeing it so a) looks like the best option at the moment. The car is at a trader so as long as I get all my questions answered in advance I guess it will be fine??

Option d and go with them so you can always just leave if it isn't as described.

Potentially, yes. I am currently generating the longest list of questions since Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

I've done A a few times for my work, flown up to Edinburgh to look at a car, agree its ok and drive it back through the day. Also done the same with trains to York/Manchester/Salford. If it wasn't as described either money would be knocked off or I'd get the train/plane back home.

Good fun, imo.

OzOs rule 1: never buy a car you haven't driven.

So that's an A.
