Would you drive 4 hours for a Jag HH?

Post by Shaguar »

There is a guy that lives 4 hours away from me selling a Jag HH for 550$ canadian, about 480$ US on my local kijiji. I emailed the guy he said he'd ship it but I'm a little weary about sending money for something I have no guarantees on.

Is it worth the 4 hour drive?
No.

4 hours away means 8 hours driving once you're home. Seems like a bit much to me, unless there is something you can do out there to make a day of it.

I already asked about the halfway thing. He replied that he would rather ship it. Seeing its rather low price I'm thinking that its one of these too good to be true deals.

I totally would...

Like endsjustifymeans said, do some research and find something else to do there to make the trip worth it.
Pawn shops and records stores are where I normally go when buying something far away...

Is it this thing?

Cause if it is, your dude is spamming that Jag all over the upper east coast.
Dude is from Halifax, which is a city that certainly supports a population that is large and arty enough for there to be local interest in this.
Sounds like a scam. I would avoid.
