I've got a question for all of you. What's the farthest that you would willing to drive to go buy a used car or truck? I drove 7 hours 1 way yesterday for a super great deal on a 2018 Toyota Avalon with only 59,000 miles on it, all leather and garage keep 1 owner. I put the Vin.# in the Kelly's blue book and found it about $5000 under blue book. Just about every car I looked at around here 250 mile range were priced to high or they had a salvage title with them. I'm think I hit the jackpot on this car and I'm super happy with the purchase. What's the best deal on a car or truck that you ever had?

Seven hours one way is a long haul, but it sounds like your deal was worth it. And for me that would determine how far I'd go - how good is the deal?

I'm in pa and most older stuff is rusty. I'm planning on looking in the southern states for my next new used truck.

living in northern michigan where they use salt I am willing to drive out of the snow belt to get a truck without rust.

For the right deal I’ll go that distance easy. I almost drove 8 hours for an Argo…..had the cash in hand but the guy backed out the day before…….at least he gave me a heads up!
People around here routinely go 12-14hr to pick up a toy or vehicles in Alberta. Good deals pop up there quite often.

I have driven to Texas from Indiana to buy an old m37 military truck. It was not a deal but available at fair price.

Now the best deal on a vehicle was a 1985 Chevy Chevette. I bought it from my grandfathers neighbor for $250 when I was in collage and drove it 27000 miles before I got rid of it. Cheap to drive, 13" wheels and tires were $25 each. Hood thick enough halling deer on it was not a problem just had to put the head and neck on the driver's side so I could see over it.


Best truck was my old 94 Toyota sr5 4x4 I bought for 3750 drove it 7 years and over 200k getting rid of it at over 320k.

Last year I drove a few hours to look at a Ford excape for my daughter and it was rusted out on the under side nothing left holding the pasanger side rear spring hanger so now im gun shy about going to far to look at things.

Trapping partner flew to Florida from Michigan 2 yrs ago to get his truck. $90 plane ticket and a hotel room. Low miles, no salt truck

4 hours

I'd drove that far for that.

A guy at work got a quote for a Mustang in the town 2 hours away and brought the quote to his local dealer for them to match and they said they wouldn't do it so he bought his car two hours away to save $1,000. I'd drive a couple hours for a $1,000 too.

It was 40 hours to Niagara Falls one way to pick up my scissors truck.i was young and dumb. I should have paid shipping.

Hours going to get the vehicle versus the future hours happy behind the wheel. No comparison.
Your question answers itself

Not a problem driving that far for the vehicle that checks all the boxes.
