In reply to Tom Ripley Mountain Guide:
We just bought a new (to us) car. I spent a lot of time on autotrader looking at possibilities, but eventually deciding just to get a newer version of what we already have helped. We found quite a few possibles within a search radius of 50 miles, but I realised although that doesn't sound that much, when it's as the crow flies - that can actually be 1.5 to 2 hours drive away so when I thought about petrol and time that could have been spent doing something more fun or useful, finding something local or click and deliver seemed better. What autotrader seemed to suggest that pricing of the same model/age seems really competitive so if possibility A seems 200 quid cheaper than B but to go and see A is going to cost 20-30 quid in petrol and use most of your Saturday up, maybe its not that great a deal anyway. In the end we found two possibles quite local, one in Barnsley and one in Chesterfield. So went and test drove the Chesterfield one and went with that. So obviously didn't use the delivery option but "Car Store" who we bought ours from do offer it for free IIRC. They seem pretty decent to deal with, the prices are fixed and I guess the internet means they have to be competitive.
I had also considered a Mondeo estate, but noticed there didn't seem to be so many around here either.
