thanks mate, yeah I was gutted to get the news about it but things happen.. if not this one then hopefully the right one will come along soon

 

most will be about town miles but its just taking soooooo long!

 

Surely though this shows that even with low mileage and at the right price something can go wrong within a very short space of time.
Buying a used car is a lottery. If you really want perfection then I'd suggest cutting your budget for the car, going for a **** heap and factoring in a rebuild and respray.

 

Serious condender for the

Scoobynet post of the year 2014

 

im not going for low mileage for piece of mind, I agree anything can happen to any car new or old I simply want a lower mileage because that's all ive had with my cars and that's how I intend to keep it.. also the next one I buy will be staying with me for a few years so I don't want a high mileage as a start off point. I cant see the point in buying a run down car and rebuilding it..if I was looking for a big bhp project then maybe but im not ..im after an every day car that will be used for work and play..and to ferry my family around so ide rather bide my time and find the right car.. if I have to wait then so be it. its a lottery your right

 

its not even funny though..its not very well thought out either.. how does a skeleton that's been there many years by the looks of it post on scoobynet yesterday?

 

he was young on the first thread you started.
years later he read the same attention whoreing thread

 

That post I the most epic thing I've seen online for a while!!!
Hahahahahaha

 

Haha, seriously missing the point there fella.

Your attempt at belittling it = failed!

 

I wholeheartedly agree, absolutely hilarious

I think the only person that hasn't laughed is the miseryguts OP

 

Wow, what a thread! I can see this from both sides, not all of us are powerfully built company directors. Because of this spending £7-8k needs thought, it is still a lot of money to most people. However, when i bought my 95 wrx ra i didn't really have the money. Its cost a lot to sort and keep running on a daily basis. Its a stupid car to get when you have a wife, 3 kids and large mortgage. But, I have more years behind me than in front. I've seen cancer take family members and people i went to school with. I realise that time is more important than an APR for my loan or credit card. Sometimes you just have to think, f'#k it, i'm going to do it/buy it. You can always look back with a pint and laugh as it sits in the garage with a knackered bottom end, might even learn a new skill rebuilding!

 

Life is indeed too short.

 

Do It, Do It, Do it, TATT needs him!

 

That's because you lack any form of a sense of humour

 

Thats because im a miserable broke attention seeker who needs to up my budget and lower my standards because i wont find what i want around the corner

 

And the penny drops! seriously mate, life is too short. Quite bloody whinging and buy one!

 

Well that's 15 mins of my life I'll never get back.

Good luck with the search, I hope the lad with the bug sorts it for you.

 

Literally was about to say exactly the same thing

 

How's the hunt for a clio going? I reckon you might get one within budget now.

https://www.scoobynet.com/wanted-18/...lio-197-a.html

 

people seem to either not think or forget that come service time even a 3k 12 year old impreza still has the service costs of a 30k car.

 

not at all.

oil and filter £40
set of plugs £30
gearbox and diff oil £60

nothing you cant do yourself and you can even get a cambelt changed for £300

nothing like the costs of new car servicing.

new cars require dealer servicing to keep up warranty stamps therefore you get your pants pulled down.

 

that's pretty pointless isn't it.. hows the hunt for wiper blades, tyres and mats going?

 

 

Sorted, sorted and sorted. Unlike you I buy stuff and don't sit at home using my £1 notes to wipe up my tears.

P.S I actually bought two sets of mats, if you get a new age impreza in the next 10 years I will sell you a set.

I actually need a set of wiper blades again, any recommendations ? Or do you wan't me to post a thread in 12 months time saying I still can't find the wiper blades I want within my budget.

 

post whatever you want mate and however many times aswell as things like that don't bother me,

while your back in 2010 looking through my threads have a good look at a few, you might find out how it was when we were all here to help out one and other posting helpful replies and giving advice to other enthusiasts... not jumping on every thread with pointless and useless posts to build your ego.. bet you all sit there on call of duty too don't you..with your head sets on

 

hows that a funny post?

 

 

i was here in 2010 and it was no different either.

 

Headset yes, call of duty nah.

You wan't some helpful advice? Ok, this is a rare occasion where I will offer some helpful and constructive advice.

1. Up your budget
2. Lower your expectations
3. Stop posting threads crying about how you can't find a brand new car for the price of a corsa 1.2
4. Bite harder, you're doing a great job so far

Honestly man you're just making yourself look like a right joke, if you wan't an impreza then go and buy one, don't sit there in front of your 13" CRT monitor crying about not having one.

Merry Christmas.

 

i like you
