long distance q purchases

[Ken Keith]

Question for my fellow audifans.

What would you say is the limit as far as reasonable distances you 
have driven or would drive to buy a special car that you found for 
sale, say, on the internet?

I was thinking about how to do this, and it seemed like it would 
take a lot of time away from work, aside from the long drive itself.

It makes me wonder if I'm not thinking in practical terms.  I've really 
just about rationalized a purchase of a '91 200.  I don't want car 
payments, so I guess I'll let the agony drag out and force myself to 
focus on my upcoming engine swap project, which should be more 
than enough to occupy me.  I think I'd rather drive them than work 
on them tho'.

My '88 5kcstq is really growing on me.  It is a damn fine car, or has 
the potential to be.  I really need to get some seat time in a '91 200 
I think.  Reading those magazine reviews on Chris Miller's site got 
me pretty interested.

On my original question, how about 1,500 miles one way, for a 
$10k 91 200?  While working M-F?

Thanks,

Ken
