Default Worth traveling 100 miles or more for a car?

Hello, well I'm just doing some car shopping and most of the SRTs, RSX, and Celicas I looked up are either 100 or more miles away from where I live. So I'm just wondering, if it's worth traveling that far just to buy a car? Has anyone else traveled farther? If so let me know if it was worth it.

If it's brand new yes, otherwise it would be dificult to have the car examined prior to taking delivery.

100 miles. That's like driving to my parents house and back.
And they're in the same city. 100 miles. Not a big deal at all.
(Just be sure you can get the car inspected prior to purchase.)

You can't drive a stick car so why are you going to drive 100 miles to pick up an SRT? And please don't get an SRT anyways, it is without a doubt far too much car for YOU.

I've flown to pick up cars before, granted I had people inspect them beforehand.

But, that should answer your question.

Can you please stop posting pointless threads. do you really need advice as to whether or not your going to drive somewhere to look at a car? Really this is ridiculous. You need to make a few decsisions on your own.


your wasting space by posting this. This thread and any thread like this should be deleted....

WE NEED A NEWB MODERATOR!!!!!!

Man can't you guys just honestly answer her damn question without acting like abunch of jackasses? O I forgot you're the assholes who give SRT's a bad name. Sorry for their stupidity, but like a feller said if it's brand new than go for it, but if it's a car that's used, but it's really really good go and check it out before actually dropping the money for it.

Why are you posting this same thread/same question in different forums?

Not being a jackass guy, If everyone posted like this, the forum would be overloaded with useless threads, no real car discussion would be going on at all. If she wanted to ask questions like this, she could ONE; go to off topic where this belongs. and TWO ask within her SRT RSX Celica thread, and without posting a follow up thread that relates to the same excat thing she was discussing in one of her previous threads

Please tell me how im giving the SRT a bad name? Im serious I want an answer. How am I giving the SRT a band name? Because if you dont think this kind of sh t goes on other forums....your the one we should be excusing for your stupidity....

when i got mine i was hell bent on getting a yellow and my dealer found 1 clear out by new orleans - i had my dealer truck it up here and inspected and bought it here...cost about 2k more to have it trucked the 1,000 miles or so.....

dealerships employ drivers who's sole purpose is to drive cars from one dealer to another - more then likey a closer dealer could have it driven from where it's at to where you are for not much cost.

I'd drive cross country for the right car.
