Personally I dont think i ever would. Cars only ever seem to move at 20mph. Cant be healthy for them........

The only advantage might be lower mileage ?

Lower mileage but with more hours actually on the road.

What singles London out from any other major city in the UK? is it now a bad idea to buy a car from anyone that doesn't live in the heart of the countryside or something?

as long as something is well maintained..who gives a **** where it was last driven?

My car's first owner was in central London. As long as you have car checked out and it has a good service history who cares. I wouldn't buy a scoob from Guernsey mind you. I don't think they've got a decent straight.

From: MY05 STi PPP Yeah in White baby!!!

Intereresting.......

Purchased my 05 STi from Kensington....... Lived in Regents Park.

1000 miles later....

in 1 night, smashed wing, smashed door.

Untold bumper scuffs over the following weeks, I knew I shouldn't have bought white......


6 months later only 1800 miles, not yet properly run in but still grinning like the cat that got the cream.

That's why I now live in Mill Hill NW London and got a house with a garage, so the Scoob won't be cold this winter.

Scoobs really can get into your blood.
