Owning a car is an essential component for those of us who live in the beautiful but distant and vast West Highlands.
Without a car, our lives would come to a standstill: how would we ever get things done? How would we get to work, take the children to school, do the weekly shop or visit friends? It can be no surprise then that buying a motor car is, for most people, the second most important purchase they will ever make, next to purchasing their house.
People devote serious time and consideration to the acquisition of a car and are prepared to clock up the miles in pursuit of the perfect purchase. That is especially true of the West Highlands where potential buyers will not only trawl Argyll and Bute, but think nothing of travelling to Perth, Stirling, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Ayr and many other places to find the ideal vehicle.
