How far would you drive for a new vehicle? - cLaY - 06-01-2005

I found a really nice Jeep on Ebay for a really great price. Mileage is awesome, from the pictures and description it sounds like its exactly what I'm looking for. Problem is, its in Houston, TX which is about an 8 or 9 hour drive from me. Should I say fuck it and wait around until something comes up here, or call the seller and see if we can arange something. SRO.

Get it.
I bought a car from boston and drove it the 4.5 hours home.

At the very least, if it's been sitting, you get to blow it out with that long drive.

I hope it breaks down and you have to call Fem to come help you and she says no.

By the way I am serious.

Have the dude take a close up of those treads. The tires look pretty worn to me.

I drove about 2800 miles to get my car home....although I made several detours on the way. It was definately worth it! Just make sure the seller prepares the car for a long trip...topping off fluids, etc.

It was great for me to drive my car for the first time by going on a road trip. Everything went perfet, but it didn't hurt to have AAA just in case.

yeah i know i would. couple of issues though.

1. would my banker give me a check for a vehicle i haven't driven and only seen pictures of on the internet?

2. could i get the seller to take down the auction and make him an offer over the phone?

I can only answer no. 2.

Chances are the seller is not gonna take it down. the best thing you can do is contact him/her and set something up if it doesn't sell.

So as I see it, your $500 is refundable if description is not accurate as listed (and you get a free ride from the airport! Woot!). But keep in mind a used car loan normally carries a higher percentage rate. You may want to ask the seller (they are a reseller, right?) if they can help you arrange financing. If not, good luck.
