    A lot of dealers work from home, illegally, without planning permission, and without paying business rates. Their household insurance is probable invalid too. They clog up the streets with over priced wrecks, and are to avoided at all costs. RS Motors may well be legit, but I wouldn't risk it.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    I'm from Oldham. (Although I dont live there now, I took the dirt road out)

    I Wouldnt go 2.5 hours for a car though, especially not one on those terms, probably is just a trader

    One way to check if an address is residential is to look and see if there is a Council Tax band

    44 Eric St is a Band A, so further confirmation (if any needed) it's not a garage! Agree with previous posters, a 2.5 hr journey is not necessary if you want to buy a car.
    If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales
