All of the above but also try :

Preloved, bargain pages, Friday free Ads, auto exposure ( I think  :-\ )

Hope this helps  ;)

Not impressed with the internet as a car purchasing medium.

You can find the perfect car, but it's 385 miles away, whereas everything in your immediate vicinity is a pile of motorised crud.

Mind you, I didn't do much better by visiting all the car dealers I could find locally.

It would have to be *really* at the ends of the country to be 385 miles from me...
but you're right. they are.

Found, so far, one in inverness (382 miles). one in sheerness (236 miles), one in plymouth (315 miles).
oh, and one in north wakefield (3 miles  :D )

Probably should have put it better, 200 miles on train for the 3.2 and the 2.2 some 50 miles on the bus..

You got what from the farm   :o :-X ;D
