Default on the hunt for almost a year

lol as you all know ive been on the look out now for a new car and in 3 weeks it will be a year of searching and so far to no avail...up to now ive viewed many cars, some were rubbish, some described as immaculate when they wasn't, a couple I was due to buy but fell through, one was sold on me before I got there and one I bought and took back when I found out it had been in a smash so...thus far its been a rollercoaster ride but im not giving up and im holding out for what I want.. I was pretty much set on the 14000 mile prodrive bugeye that's in the for sale section but that has fallen through, that such car has proved that pretty much immaculate low mileage cars are out there within my budget so Im right with what I want, I live in hope that a certain car becomes available but im naming no names or giving any details on said car ..i just need to hold out a little longer it seems and keep my fingers crossed...
to be continued.........................

It's not about being fussy, it's about being tight. Up your budget, get a car and stop F*cking moaning you can't find one.

Why didn't you just update one of your older threads instead of starting a new one?
I'm already looking forward to the the same threads again and again over the next 12 months.

The op has become the laughing stock of scoobynet

Just go to a dealer and buy a brand new one then there will be no problems
Finance isn't much dearer then interest in the bank
You have wasted a year if your life
Lower your standards
Don't look for perfection
A couple of scrapes can be put right and bits replaced

At the end of the day your looking for a

Second hand car

LOL what the hell as my time on this forum got to do with the price of fish? I spend my time driving my impreza and not just crying on a forum that I can't find a brand new one for 50p because I'm tighter than a crabs arsehole.

Everybody just thinks you're a moaner.

P.S my dad's harder than your dad.

couldn't care less what everyone thinks to be honest, I have a budget that's not that far off the one you had when searching for a car.. so how have you come to that conclusion?

I expected a realistic priced/mileage car when I was looking though.

Keep your budget the same, make one of these threads for the next few years and then maybe after another 3/4 you may do a " I have finally bought an impreza " thread.

I am realistic though that's the thing, there are cars out there within my budget and to my requirements .. did you look for a specific car? or did you choose the one you got because it matched your price? im sure you had a car in mind when looking and so do I so we're no different there are we..
