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!!!
