Around 2012 I decided I wanted a stick shift 5 series BMW with the inline 6. Not an easy car to find anywhere, much less middle GA. One popped up (a 2003) near Washington DC green with tan interior and looked good in the pictures. I talked to the salesman on the phone and he assured me it was in good shape. Drove up there (11hrs one way) only to find it was beat up from one end to the other and interior was rough as well... Was a fun road trip with a friend and we got to eat at a cool Irish pub across the street from the capital. Was pretty sick to my stomach about the car though.. I test drove it around for probably 45 min before I admitted it would be stupid to buy it.
I also drove 3.5hrs to buy the 05 Cadillac STS I had. That car was as described and a good deal. No regrets there.
Now that I think of it I also drove 2hrs for my Mazda, and 3 hrs for my tractor.. At least my Ram was local
