Always looking for an excuse for a road trip. Go check it out and enjoy the adventure.
Depends on the vehicle - which we DON"T know in this thread. I will say I will travel maybe an hour for a common/popular car but will travel cross country (and have several times) for a nice classic or Corvette.How far is “far?”
How far would you drive for a free car.. I'm withholding any details for the sake of debate.How far is “far?”
He said its a 2008 with 114K miles and has a manual trans and they want $5K. Its clearly no classic.Depends on the vehicle - which we DON"T know in this thread.

This is BITOG. People would drive 100 miles for a free quart of penzoil.How far would you drive for a free car.. I'm withholding any details for the sake of debate.
I’m hesitant to tell the make/model because I don’t want to know how far someone would go for this particular car. I’m interested to know how far you would go to see a car you might like to own. IMO that’s different than how far one might drive to see a car they would LOVE to own, because I think the answer to that is probably a much farther distance.How far would you drive for a free car..

If it's a 2008 Corvette 6-speed with 114k miles being sold as is with no warranty, I'd drive cross country. Scared money makes no money. But I would imagine most 16 year old cars are sold without a warranty, and unless contrary to state law, they are also sold as is. I see nothing worrisome about that. If you want something with a warranty, buy a late model.I’m looking at a $5000 car online. 2008 model, 114k miles.
You guessed it. It’s a manual Mazda 5.So far farthest I drove was 5hrs one way, and that was for car parts.
For a car my farthest is around 3hrs so far, but I'm not opposed to going for longer, if the car is really special to me.
Like a low-mile and/or clean example of 2008:
- manual Mazda 5
- 2.7L or 6.1L Dodge Magnum (yes I dislike 3.5L and 5.7L)
- 6-speed manual or AWD Buick Regal GS
- 6-speed manual 3.5L Nissan Altima sedan, not coupe
- last true automatic Nissan Quest, with those loooong moonroofs and ALL the bells and whistles.
- and a bazillion other automotive oddballs...
In that case drive. Drive far lol. Realistically not many things can be wrong with it.You guessed it. It’s a manual Mazda 5.
I was betting on another xB²
This is the one I really want but it’s a good 10 hours away and at least $1000 overpriced.I was betting on another xB²
The only thing that era Mazda does well is rust, the rocker rot has me concerned for the subframe
Tread carefully , but I'd drive 1 hour to look at in person
I've walked home disappointed over less
