I bought 2 cars from distance last year just after lockdown..
One was the Maser (Ghibli), from a main dealer. It was an ex demo model. I drove down to look at it.. paid the deposit and went back the following week on the train to collect. Felt better that way, with a car like that I wanted to eyeball it.
The second was was the Jeep Renegade. Found online, this time in Norwich, again ex demo model at main dealer. This time negotiated the price and trade in on the phone and drove to to drop off part ex / collect car. This time I noted a few minor marks on the bumper trims, which was a tad annoying. Had it been local I would have looked and agreed to buy on condition that they fixed it.. something I couldnt then do. So swings and roundabouts really.
