I bought my 03's from a seller only 5 hours away and it was a bit of a hassle. Hard to work out the logistics, expense to have it transported, remote PPI, etc., A lot easier if it is local and you can go take a look - or have your own mechanic check it out.

and with multiple owners you lose some continuity of the maintenance - what are the odds they were all good conscientious owners?

That said, if you are looking for something special or the price is right many of us have traveled far and wide to bring home the box.
