It might seem like a funny question but Im potentially looking to buy one 300 miles away. Is that too risky? ...should I just get it towed? Thanks

too far to drive it like that ,, tow it or find a indy in that area and have it replaced then drive it home ,, probably the same price as a tow

Listen.....If the drivers side front strut is collapse. You can not drive the car like that for 300 miles. If you do, it will end badly.
Your steering and braking will be compromised, not to mention that the car will be leaning over on that side. Also you risk doing more damage.
Get a flat bed truck to load it and have it delivered to a shop for repairs.

+1, I wouldn't risk the extra damage that could happen

On a fully collapsed Airmatic shock?

Wow, I think I would stop the car wherever I happened to be and get a flat bed immediately.

A blown shock will just make the car bouncy. A blown airmatic is a bit more than that.

You're assuming this is the only problem with the car. I'd trailer it home if you have the option.

I used a transportation company from Sacramento to Los Angeles and cost me 445.00. Its honestly not much to get a transportation service and your not risking finding out on the way home that car might have other issues that might surface other then a blown shock and then you would have more then one problem stuck on the side of the road. Piece of mind get a transportation service. I test drove mine when I drove up to Sacramento and it drove just perfect and still didn't drive it down because on a car you don't know you have no idea what will happen.
